Well, depends on what you want to achieve. The underlying thought is that the Thing node should be a virtual representation of a physical device and should handle all the messy translations from "device-speak" to something with a higher level of abstraction, more easily manipulated in Node-RED. It shouldn't matter to you when you build your flows in Node-RED if the device is a Shelly dimmer or a zigbee IKEA lamp, you just use them as interchangeable dimmable lamps in your flows and manipulate them using Event-, Gate-, Value- and Action nodes regardless of brand and underlying technology. If you build your ThingTypes right you should never need to bother, or even know, about the underlying hardware when you construct your flows.

The device sends a message of some sort, usually over MQTT in my case but it could be over any channel, and the ingress functions converts it into an item status that you can take action on using event-, value- or gate nodes. Same thing in the other direction, you shouldn't need to worry that your Shelly dimmer wants {"turn": "on","brightness":msg.payload} and you Hue lights expects {"state": "ON","brightness": Math.round(msg.payload / 2.55)}, that's the job of the egress function to handle, you just use an action node and send the same dim command to the Shelly and the Hue alike and the Thing creates the correct MQTT message for you based on the underlying ThingType.
