When talking about an open-source IFTTT please always consider Node-Red. I host four instances of it around my life and it's my go-to solution for almost everything. https://nodered.org/ https://nodered.org/

Four instances? What kind of tasks are you using them for?
- moritonal 6y ago
  Want a breakdown, ok. My server, my raspberry pi in my house, my desktop and my phone all run an instance, with my server hosting a Mosca MQTT which they all use to send messages between. My server runs anything web-facing, so the web-hooks and random API projects. The PI does things like Wake-on-lan the Desktop, working with Alexa (https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-alexa-home https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-alexa-home) and acting as a pi-hole. The Desktop listens for things like shutdown commands (from Alexa) and other commands to do things. All together Node-Red just gives me the flexability to do everything at the "right" scope. The project is also cute as hell, just look at knolleary's response here: https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/719 https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/719

  I have 10 setups running now I think, may have missed some too. 1- Homeassistant on ODroidC4 2- Raspberry Pi controlling my chicken coop in barn 3- Docker 1, not sure what it does anymore 4- Docker 2, used to run chicken coop, has a bunch of legacy stuff I don't want to move, like my discord firewall connection to block/allow kids Internet and kids pi-hole 5- Docker 3, fresh setup to standardize my data collection via MQTT to influxDB and Ignition Maker Edition 6- Raspberrypi at cousins restaurant, monitors temps, send alerts to discord and POS printers, runs the door dingers out speakers, different per door and volume changes by time of day/day of week 7- Docker on resturant camera server, don't think it does anything really 8- RaspberryPi at resturant in the shed, watches the freezer temp and building temp, was going to watch power and the door also, never got around to it 9- Raspberrypi at Buddies shop, watches his boiler temps 10- Docker at buddies house, collects the shop boiler data and pushes to influxdb for Grafana, I think, I may have bypassed that part of it

    Sorry, I apparently can't format very well on n my phone

    All these are running NodeRED, why?

Recently started using Node-RED with Home Assistant and I’m really digging it so far. Modeling flows is super intuitive and quick, and it can do so much (even acting as a web server for a custom dashboard).

My understanding from previous threads is that Node-Red focuses on IoT where n8n/huginn focuses on the other things IFTTT does, not that either is intentionally exclusive.
