Great work! Curious, what type of Raspberry Pi are you using? I'm considering building something similar with a Raspberry Pi 4 but curious if the performance would be enough.

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM and it's been running perfectly fine for my automation needs.

Really cool project! I'm not familiar with Node-RED, could you provide some resources on how to get started with it?

Sure, check out the Node-RED documentation or these YouTube tutorials: [links to tutorials]. It's a great tool for IoT projects.

In your system, which devices are you controlling with the Raspberry Pi? I'd like to know more about its capability.

I have smart plugs, lights, thermostat, and a few sensors integrated with the Raspberry Pi. Everything is connected to the Node-RED system and can be controlled remotely through my app.
