Triggering a flow when TV input changes

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

You can see in picture below, when TV is on Peacock, source lists it as such.

What would I setup to start an automation right when the source is switched to Peacock? All I can think is having an inject node check every 1 min, but theres gotta be some way I can use the events: state node; I just cant figure it out.

I swear, posting my question makes me able to figure it out on my own…sometimes.

I came up with your first option as well. But kudos to you for knowing the msg would now include new_state! That wasnt even in my screenshot and I didnt figure it out till I did an events: all debug.
