How are you using Huggin?

[Boxfreshpidge]

I have been researching Huggin and love the idea of implementing this to increase productivity. Curious to know how you use are making use of it? If you're not aware of Huggin it's on github https://github.com/huginn/huginn

I run a dockerized Huginn instance that sends me daily morning/evening digest emails with various bits of info & stats that it collects together. For example

- Daily/Weekly/monthly/Yearly changes in a few investment funds

- The closing stock market rate for a couple of companies

- The daily/weekly/monthly/yearly change in stock market rates for those companies

- Any reported inflation changes in my country of residence

- The daily/weekly/monthly/yearly changes in foreign currency exchange rates

- The forecasted weather for the day

I also have some of these checks running every 10 minutes, and if there are changes that exceed a certain threshold then a sms is sent notifying me.

have you OSS'd that? is literally the same requirements I've got.

[MrDresden]

I based my docker configuration on this setup from BytemarkHosting (but then did my own changes over time). I would recommend checking that out. https://github.com/BytemarkHosting/configs-huginn-docker

My agents are very specific to my locale, so I haven't thought about sharing them. Might do that at some point.

Bytemark! What a surprise to see a reference here.

You might get more responses if you gave a little description.

And also spelled it correctly :-)

I heard about this for the first time. Will check it out. Otherwise all my work is done through cron jobs and bash scripts.

Couple of things:

* Crawl apartment listings and get notified a lot faster than the official notification channels take.

* Monitor the inventory/promotions of some vendors, e.g. for bikes, that are currently out of stock

* Get notified when there's an peak of interest in a specific topic on twitter. I use this to monitor my employer, my project, and any stocks I own.

I use it as a core part of my self-hosted infrastructure, as an alternative to IFTTT or Zapier.

I do simple things with it, like monitor GitHub for releases of software I use, filter out release candidates and post the info to a Mattermost server. This helps me stay current With projects where I maintain a public Docker image for them.

Huginn also does more complex things like act as the engine for an app running as a series of functions in OpenFaaS. That app pulls data from various sources, aggregates it, dedupes it according to various criteria, does a bunch of subsequent lookups, stores results in Mongo and then collects the output once a day and sends it as an email.

Huginn is an excellent tool.

Not much use for huggin' right now, due to the epidemiological situation.

If corona virus, then no hugs

Curious if I can set this up to chart my biometric data as well

How does Huggin compare to Node Red?

[Can_Not]

Node Red might focus more on IoT.
