Nord Pool and events: state node

Description

In this example, data is read from the Nord Pool sensor in HA via the events: state node. The ps-lowest-price node is used to control a switch, controlled by call service nodes in Home Assistant, to turn on the cheapest 4 hours between 18:00 and 08:00. The schedule is printed to a debug node. The flow is triggered every time the Nord Pool sensor receives new prices.
