Trying to automize my dumb coffemachine, but I can't get every scenario to work

Third party integrations Node-RED

Ok, I have a few inputs I want to interact, but I can’t make them work together (I really want to avoid ‘input_boolean’ helpers, but I can’t see a way around it at the moment.

Ok, so at a certain time (8.30 on workdays, and 10.30 in the weekend) I want the coffeemachine to turn on.
If the water is not filled on it, it is not prepared from yesterday, and it should just turn it off, I check for the powerusage twice.
Otherwise it should be kept on for 90 mins.
Except that if I press the button on the shp-6 controlling the smart-plug, I just want it to wait for 90 mins.
This all seems to work-

The last thing I want it to react to is when the IKEA blind in the bedroom is opening in the morning, it should trigger a start if it is not already on.
But how do I get it to react to that? In HA we have the ‘device’ -> blind -> opening thing, but I don’t see the same in Node-Red?

EDIT: Uh, I just found another scenario, if it’s turned on by a google, it should also go through the ‘is it boiling’, but I don’t see a way of getting this done without setting some sort of semaphore/flag for the ‘button pressed’ scenario, which should just override all the timings.

For the Blind trigger, simply add a new Events: State node and as entity_id put in your blinds. Then filter for whatever message you need.

Turning on via Google Home, id suggest adding a switch/input boolean which you can expose to Google Home. This will then trigger your flow. You will ask Google to turn on this HomeAssistant Item, instead of the Coffemachine directly.

Hi @AlmostSerious
I got some help by @blade2021 , and I think I got a good solution for it.
With his help it got to look like this:

So the on is seperate from the off loop, so it should catch all the different ways of turning on.
