I'm probably missing something here, but what is the value of this when you could write a script that would do just about the same? (Serious question, I want to know the answer, not rhetorical)


Huginn is more of a framework for writing and running these scripts. It has some built in modules to make the process easier. IE: The webhook agent is an easy want of getting POST data into a script without bootstrapping a webserver yourself, you can then just raise an event and have another script handle it. No need to write and manage everything individually, you can run everything in one place.


Yes, and this becomes exceedingly important as the number and complexity of automations increases.

Huginn can assist in organizing complex workflows into manageable components.
