- Introduced new sections in README.md for Node-RED flows related to living room lighting and room management. - Added links to specific documentation for living room flow, all lights and rooms configuration, and living room analysis. - Enhanced overall organization of the README to improve user navigation and understanding of Node-RED integration with Home Assistant. This update enriches the documentation for users implementing Node-RED in their home automation setups.
