Products that do what Hobson is an easy-to-use, open-source IoT automation platform does

I'd like to announce the latest public beta release of Hobson - an open-source IoT platform that promotes ease-of-use and has no cloud dependencies. It is free, multi-platform and supports various devices, services and protocols through a powerful plugin system. It can be used by end-users to control various consumer smart devices or by IoT developers as a foundation for their own solutions. I encourage anyone that is interested to check out Hobson's website and give it a try. It is under active development and feedback and suggestions are encouraged. http://www.hobson-automation.com

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

    Hello Hacker News, My co-founder and I have spent the better part of years developing a completely hackable Home Automation toolset that runs on a Raspberry Pi, or any machine running Linux. With just a Raspberry Pi and a $45 Z-Wave dongle (https://www.amazon.com/Aeotec-Z-Stick-Z-Wave-create-gateway/...), you can run a complete home automation system! Our hub will support any Z-Wave or Z-Wave plus device. We are cloud hosted service that doesn't require you to purchase any proprietary hardware. Our hub software runs on NodeJS and is completely open source. We encourage…

    I've made a small Python library, designed for quick-and-easy prototyping of machine learning models. It's built on top of scikit-learn, to serialize and deserialize data from the forms you're likely to have, to the format used in scikit-learn. https://github.com/madman-bob/Smart-Fruit It's pretty bare-bones at the moment, but I thought I'd see if there was any interest before spending too much time on it. Let me know what you think.

    We've recently made our product, ozma.io, open-source. It's a CRM/ERP platform for building enterprise systems. We believe that AI will soon handle implementing most of the boilerplate and UIs in the specialized business software. Just look at what lovable.dev does today! Soon products which make creating business software easier for developers will become obsolete, or transform into "libraries" to be used by AIs. We are losing this race, so we go the second route — publish everything and go on building other products on top of it. GitHub repo URL:…

    Hello, Hacker News community! My name’s Ben Taylor and I’m the CTO of the British SaaS startup Rainbird, which I co-founded in 2013.

Rainbird is a no-code intelligent automation platform that makes your daily, work life simpler and more rewarding by automating decisions that, right now, you probably think are impossible to automate. We think everyone should have access to that power. You can try out the platform…
