How are you using Huggin?
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
- 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.
My agents are very specific to my locale, so I haven't thought about sharing them. Might do that at some point.
And also spelled it correctly :-)
* 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 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.
