Thanks @wwwiebe for the feedback! Please let me know how your build goes for the Pi based Zoom/Google setup? And I wouldn't mind seeing your config for receiving and parsing the log files..... I can think of several applications for that!!!
I've been using Node-Red for about a year now, and I still think I'm a noob! There is so much power in the graphics based programming..... well you know!
The one device that cannot utilize Node-Red is the Pi ZeroW. If I recall correctly the processor cannot run the necessary version of npm or node.js (I think?) and so I've started learning mqtt and have a Pi running mosquitto that my Node-Red devices can interface with as well as my Pi ZeroW devices via Python3
