I'm still using my scratch built KaithemAutomation(Currently just finishing up a large cleanup of some of the almost 10yo code, new release soon) because the off the shelf stuff doesn't seem to support the Pi well on SD cards.
The core workflow is all about having scenes, which have a list of cues, each of which can have IFTT-like rules attached to it, among other things, like sounds and DMX lighting values, live mixing of multiple soundcards, and ESPHome integration.
I'm never quite sure if I should try to move to HASS or some other platform, or keep working on this project a few hours a week.... it's pretty much feature complete, just needing some cleanup to be sustainable and maybe a move to a proper CSS framework, so switching to something else always seems like it's not really worth it.
At the moment HASS seems like the big name in open automation, and I like using the standard big name for everything, but it doesn't seem like the best fit for what I want to do with it.
- contravariant 3y agoI quite liked node-red for automating things. Though that's mostly because programming in yaml sounded like a red flag when it comes to automation. Making the UI is more involved but you have a lot of tools to get stuff to talk to each other.
- eternityforest 3y agoI wasn't a super big fan of Node Red, it gets messy in a hurry with ~30 nodes, and the data flow model isn't the best fit for things that are heavily state driven. It's pretty nice for what it is, but it isn't quite a HA-alike.
