I fail to see how this is different than Node-Red. Node-red already has a nice ecosystem, and extra modules allow usage of any npmjs modules to be used (in excess of 200k).

Is this what you're talking about? http://nodered.org http://nodered.org Seems interesting but the metaphors are rather different.

  That's correct. They are a bit different. However, with many of the node-red-contrib modules, I can do things like "watch twitter for certain #tags, send them to IRC along with a semantic analysis. Also log to MongoDB. And any @ send to my email every sunup." The basic functionality of the core nodes is already impressive, but the contrib is where Node-Red shines.

huginn isn't tailored for IoT specifically.

Looks like huginn predates node-red by six months. https://github.com/cantino/huginn/graphs/contributors https://github.com/cantino/huginn/graphs/contributors https://github.com/node-red/node-red/graphs/contributors https://github.com/node-red/node-red/graphs/contributors

  And bip.io sits in between the two. I wonder why 2013 was the year for this sort of project. https://github.com/bipio-server/bipio/graphs/contributors https://github.com/bipio-server/bipio/graphs/contributors

I haven't heard of node-red so thanks for the mention. I just started using huginn for a month or so, and I really like it. I mainly use it to process input data from various sources and output RSS feeds. Looks like node-red doesn't have something pre-built for this even in the extra modules. It is on a list of ideas: https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes/wiki/Node-Ideas https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes/wiki/Node-Ideas So for now, if your usage is the same as mine. Perhaps huginn would work better. I do like how node-red have that drag and drop interface though.
