I am using home assistant and node-red to control my lights via a tradfri remote control.
As i want to use the center button as toggle, i made a variable that holds the state of the light to change it to the opposite when the button is pressed.
I am wondering, how can i replace the variable with a state from home assistant, to make my script better? As now my motion sensor(different flow) can also change the state of the lamp, without this function knowing it.
Also i am passing on "all events" from home assistant without filter, is there a better way of doing this, like only passing on the deconz_event and certain light states?
The separate Woonkamer node is the information that i need for the function, however i don't really want a separate event node if i don't need it.
Thanks and sorry for the newbie question.
