Hi,
with OH3 we got alternative rule engines like JS/Blockly.
Can somebody of OH foundation or whoelse can explain me, why blockly got prefered over node red IN OH3 as a default rule engine? I just see one, maybe two reasons:
- blockly is used by other home automation software and OH
- blockly might be easier to integrate (but a node red integration were already partly available in OH2)
IMO / fact is:
- in business / professional area BPM (business process model) subjectly and technically is way more common / blockly is nowhere used there
- blockly is looking way more complicate in the beginning, because it looks more difficult to see, where to start and end with compared to a BPM where you easily signals a start and end point
In all professional solutions where we talk about low/no code, BPM is there and blockly is not even mention tbh - IMO for a good reason.
