# Event Nodes
# Available to all event nodes
Events: all, events: state, trigger: state, and poll state nodes will have the option to be exposed to Home Assistant, and when enabled, it will show up in Home Assistant as a switch. Turning on and off these switches will disable/enable the nodes in Node-RED. This should help people who find themselves having to make input_booleans in HA to enable/disable flows.
