I’m currently switching from OpenHAB to Home Assistant. In both systems I’m using NodeRED for as much of the logic processing as I can. OpenHAB has items that are the equivalent of entities in Hass. OpenHAB creates an item for each device called “scene number”. When a scene is chosen (double tap HS-WD200+) that scene code is populated in the item/entity. It can then be used like any other item/entity as part of the device. For automation of scenes, I’m currently pulling from the event bus.
Question: Is this an efficient and recommended practice? Will I have performance issues and is there a better way to do this in HAss?
