Any plan to update the GUI for conditional logic inside of automations? It's really clumsy to do IF/THEN or switch style constructions. Too much visual spa

Any plan to update the GUI for conditional logic inside of automations? It's really clumsy to do IF/THEN or switch style constructions. Too much visual space and clunky overall.

Have you tried using the NodeRed plugin? That’s worked really well for me

  NodeRed is awesome. I didn't even bother with anything beyond very, very simple automations until I installed that. For me the flow design feels very natural and is easy to modify and monitor. And it's pluggable with custom nodes so if functionality is missing you can add it in. Like I installed a node that handles OAuth2 so I can have it log into a web service and check a status page.

We are working on the automations UI as we speak! (this can also be seen on our roadmap update https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/11/15/roadmap-2024h2/ https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/11/15/roadmap-2024h2... )

  Just dumping an idea here: In the past I've had issues with forgetting to add triggers for states that are used somewhere as a condition or switch. This leads to lost updates and frustation. React state hooks, which I'm deeply familiar with, will result in a linter warning if any of their dependencies are missing. I'd really like something similar for automations.
