I'm looking to make a node-red flow, that takes registration plate events from unifi protect camera detection, then look up in a list, and announce who it is on our speakers via tts.
I'm new to node-red (but not to programming in general), I'm happy with how to build this, but I'm not sure what the best way within node red would be to keep a look up table of known registration plates and a name associated with it. What would preople recomend I use within node red to keep this list? Ideally I want something I can easily make entries to, without editing hard coded nodes.

Hi. Not sure if this is the best approach, but if you are familiar with SQL, you could create a database and table with MariaDB, and use the node red nodes to do the select lookup. I use Phpmyadmin to easily manage the database. If you go that route, let me know and I'll be happy to help with flows.
