I use HomeAssistant automations for all my home stuff, it has an official easy to add Node Red integration available. I played with it a little in the past but didn’t really see any value for me at the time. Now I’m looking to set up a new automation tool that’s not necessarily hardware/home type stuff, moreso the kind of thing you might use IFTTT for, but I want to self host. so for example scraping a webpage, extracting the content of an article, sending to an AI API for summary, then outputting as RSS. I was thinking about setting up n8n, but I wanted to see if maybe the HA Node Red would be just as good (I think it’s a fork right?). That way I don’t need to set up a new VM or anything plus it’ll be already integrated into my backups and proxy etc as part of HA.
So has anyone used both and could compare?
n8n has really strange licensing AFAIK which is why I avoided it.
Maybe have a look at: https://github.com/huginn/huginn
Oh sorry I misread your message. Indeed it is an odd one. https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/LICENSE.md
Isn’t it just plain old MIT or have I missed anything?https://github.com/huginn/huginn/blob/master/LICENSEI was initially thinking Huginn, but it doesn’t seem to have as much activity around it. You like it, plenty of flexibility?
I haven’t actually used it (I considered setting it up but I don’t really need it personally).
But it seems sufficiently flexible that it should be possible to easy make your own agents without depending on other people’s contributions? The code-base itself looks actively maintained.
