Using this Topic as a guide, I created a Hubitat specific RaspberryPi image that boots with both Node-Red and Homebridge running. The Node-Red instance has a dozen preinstalled Palettes to ease the burden of new users.
A lot of the Node-Red examples found in this community will import a lot less dauntingly with many common palettes pre-installed. Obviously, over time, everything will become dated and a lot of "click update" advise will become normal.
