My impression is that most people doing heavy automatisation in Home Assistant are using Node Red or AppDaemon [1] almost exclusively.

Thanks for citing AppDaemon, I'll try it.

I know Node Red but I consider all visual tools as a nice way to complicate things not to simplify so I never used it. Actually my HA is in an org-mode file tangled in the right place, but just the recent template syntax change was a painful waste of time to update especially since after some update my Victron/MQTT integration have change sensors names for unknown reasons ad I have to craft a monster just have proper p.v. production logs in the energy dashboard... Oh, sure I can even ignore HA but that's is, a giant crapload of YAML...
