I changed Zigbee dongles and had to rebuild a bunch of flows since deCONZ had motion lights built in.
Turning lights on is child's play, but turning them off has idiosyncrasies, depending on time of day, day of week, and so on. Attached is a very simple example but curious how y'all have cracked this nut!

I recently moved away from NodeRed as had it running as an Addon for one light automation. Do everything through HA automations now and they're all working great !

Interesting. How complicated can you get in native HA? Because I also have light flows that look like this...
But I also use it for Alexa notifications (Garage door open for more than 20 minutes = Alexa notification every 5 minutes), and turning on & off my phone charger depending on phone battery %, etc..

Yeah, mine were FAR simpler than that. I wouldn't want to touch that tbh
I initially used AI to figure out if it was possible, then wrote the automation myself, but I just have two pretty basic motion controlled lights.

Yep, this is why I use node red. And, I like the visual approach. I even have it log into a website, screen scrape daily data, run update sql queries to a MariaDB table that feeds Grafana reports, and send me notifications of any modifications or additions to the data (which only changes periodically) so I know to go check Grafana.
