Are there any decent open source alternatives or should I be looking to go down the building route?

I am a coding newbie so would be a bit daunting!

    I would start with home assistants built in automations and scripts before diving into node-red. Node-red is great for complex automations, but if all you’re doing is turning on lights and stuff, just using HA is more than enough, and has a much easier learning curve, IMO.
