How to fire event from Node-RED

Hello,
I have following script firing event from hassio to AppDeamon:

 fire_ev:
  alias: Navigate
  sequence:
  - event: hadashboard
    event_data:
      command: navigate
      timeout: 10
      target: lenovo-media

Currently I call this from Node-RED using service call. I’d prefer to fire this event directly from Node-RED. I believe it is possible - but I have no idea how.
Thanks for any suggestion.

Hi @hwm.land.

I’m new to Home Assistant but I use already several gateways and services interacting to/from Node-Red by MQTT. Maybe this could be solution for you?

Check my first posting (yesterday), which was about using MQTT and Node-Red ↔ HA:
