How to stop automation from runnung if the parameter was changed manually in HomeAssistant UI?

However you use node red so that rules that out. When node red changes a light or whatever then it does not get a parent_id and does get a user_id (the system user associated with changes made via supervisor). So it looks identical to a UI driven change.

Create a new user, “node-red”, and generate an access token with that user. Use that newly created access token to connect NR to HA. Now when NR changes the state of an entity in HA the context.user_id will be set that that user id.
