Hi,

When using the debug node, there are a few options to where the output goes to, i.e debug windows, system console, and node status

Where exactly does the output go when "system console" is also checked?  
I'm running nodeRed in Home Assistant RPi4.

If you were running the recommended (non-HA) install of node-red it would go to the node-red journalctl log, which by default also goes to syslog.

I don't know about HA. You might have to ask on an HA forum about that.

I meant to say, I unchecked the output to "system console" and just setup a cell phone notification AND persistant notifacation via HA console
