hey team -

I have my node-red flows working well but there's a final tweak I would like to do with my lighting in the kitchen. There are times when the time in the flow isn't routine (like guests over, staying up later, etc). I would like to tweak this flow so I could put the flow in an over-ride type mode.

Was thinking I could click the on/off on the physical switch like 3 times in a row or maybe setting up something in HA that would flag the lighting to be in over-ride or in flow.

Suggestions?

\*\* edit: thinking about this more I realized I could use an input boolean in homeassistant and use this information in the node-red flow. Leaving post up for others just in case.

How do you control your kitchen lights now?
