I’m aware of her comments on Roe vs. Wade, I just didn’t think it was relevant. She was a liberal justice who was replaced with a conservative justice.
I’m curious what her stance would be if she was still on the court. Despite her comments, I don’t believe she would have overturned it.
Under Trump’s presidency, since he appointed three justices. The most significant shift was in 2020, when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away and was replaced by Justice Amy Coney Barret. Ginsburg was one of the most liberal justices.
Supreme court justice’s are non-partisan and don’t represent a political party, but they generally reflect the beliefs and ideology of the president who appoints them in their interpretation of the role of the constitution. e.g. originalism vs. a living document.

That’s a good question, that would be a helpful resource. This seems like a good place to start:
Given your use case the switch definitely makes sense. I wasn’t even aware node-red could interface with HomeBridge.
It sounds like HomeAssistant has made some significant quality of life improvements since I gave it a test drive. I’ll give it a second look.
And you’re lucky your wife shares your interest in home automation! “I saw this cool wall mounted HomeAssistant dashboard…” isn’t something I can imagine my wife saying, haha.
Mind if I ask what made you decide to switch? I spun up a Homebridge instance as a stop-gap to get a few smart devices into HomeKit with the assumption that I would need to graduate to HomeAssistant down the road, but I haven't yet run into any automations I couldn't accomplish with a Homebridge plugin.
That said, I agree with you. If someone is starting from scratch, HomeAssistant is likely a better long-term solution, albeit a bit more daunting to set up initially.
