There's also the hugely popular Huginn, if you're on a Ruby stack (Trigger Happy seems to run on Django) https://github.com/cantino/huginn

Huginn is great, but I wish it was easier to chain stuff together. Node RED has an awesome UI, but the building blocks are aimed at something else entirely.

What sort of stuff do you find hard to build?

Scrapers of sites that involve some conversion of data. The main gripe is that you can't modify a flow of agents in a single interface, so adjusting stuff involves a lot of going back and forth.

Agreed- we hope for Scenarios to evolve into this eventually, but I agree that it can be clicky right now for big changes.

Another Huginn fan here. Super useful and so much more flexible than anything hosted like ifttt.

I never thought to use Huginn as an IFTTT replacement. I may have to spool up an instance; I wanted to before, but I have never thought of a compelling need that Huginn would solve.
