> How does configuration works? Is it just configurable through the webinterface or can I update/set workflows with some external script?
Primarily Web interface. Though, the CommanderAgent can configure and trigger other agents. You can use that in combination with your external script for configuration.
> Is configuration saved in textfiles which I can put under versioncontrol and backup, or is it some unaccesable binay blob?
Agent configurations are stored in the database and can be exported as text files for your backups.
> How much does it break with each update? And how often does it receive bigger and smaller updates?
Making sure updates don't break existing installations is one of the top priorities of maintainers. Most of the updates are small/incremental. And I haven't had any problems with the updates breaking things.
> How does this compare to something like home assistant or node-red, if you know this software.
I looks at node-red years ago and determined it wasn't as mature of a project. Things could've changed since then. And I haven't heard of home assistant.
> Anything you consider missing or lacking on some area?
The UI is a bit basic. Though, I think this can also be looked at as a feature instead of a flaw.
Mostly assisting in curating news about niche technologies (angular, react).
What's a "major issue"?
At this point, I feel that I'm well versed in when to use huginn. That helps me avoid most issues.
I use Zapier all the time for the things it does better/easier. That said, often, one end of the "zap" is integrated with a workflow in huginn. For instance, I commonly use Zapier when I need data gathered by huginn to be continuously logged into a spreadsheet.
Additionally, puppeteer(node) is another fantastic automation tool, which I use to do things that you probably shouldn't try to do with huginn. But, I connect my puppeteer scripts to larger workflows using huginn.
Thanks to the maintainers, I think that huginn does what it was designed to do very well.
@dsander I immediately recognized your username from GitHub Thanks for all the work you've put in!
I run Huginn on Heroku. I haven't had any significant issues since it's been running. It's been so long since I've set it up that I would need to review my notes to tell you any more about how it's deployed.
Sometimes a smoothie around 3pm that contains plant proteins, collagen protein, amazing grass, 1/4 cup of blueberries, ground chia seeds, and maca powder.
I've been intermittent fasting + keto for the majority of the past five years. The minority is when we cycle off keto for a week here and there by doing intermittent fasting + vegan.
