StackStorm VS Huginn

What differentiates this from things like n8n, node red, and stackstorm? (which sort of occupy a zapier replacement, IoT automation, and infra automation niche, respectively)

StackStorm: Event-driven automation\ (17 comments)

StackStorm -- "IFTTT For Ops" I am investigating the different integrations to see if it can help automate some things.

stackstorm.com — Event-driven automation for apps, services and workflows, free without flow, access control, LDAP,...

Very cool! This reminds me of some of the event-driven automation tools like Stackstorm, letting you define triggers/events to subscribe to, and then take actions based on a defined rule set.

Closest in the Python world is Stackstorm (massive overkill for a desktop use-case, Linux only), or Dagster (great for data processing, not designed for admin tasks).

Node-Red or https://stackstorm.com? Stackstorm seems more geared towards infrastructure whereas Node-Red is more geared towards IOT. Stackstorm also has a web UI, just have to install it separately.

I have played with StackStorm a little bit, and it could also do what you describe... but it may or may not be over-engineered for your use-case.

huggin - a very popular open-source alternative good for basic scripting.

You didn't say what features are important or what about changedetection.io didn't work for you, but maybe ArchiveBox or Huginn

Hugiin. You create your own agents to do any arbitrary task. Similar to IFTT.

Apparently for Post Agent you need to remove the expected_receive_period_in_days line, I just tried it and it worked for me. https://github.com/huginn/huginn/issues/3034
