Hooking a Pipe up to a general purpose "If this, then that" would be awesome. The first thing I think of is the IFTTT service at http://ifttt.com . Given we have a Phant database driver now, I thought maybe IFTTT could monitor a Phant stream. There's an issue in the Phant issue queue on that but no progress yet. They do mention something promising those, nodered.

Node-RED provides a browser-based flow editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range nodes in the palette. Flows can be then deployed to the runtime in a single-click.

I think... this would be the kind of thing that would be hosted on the Pipe device. Of course, we could make our own IFTTT machine like we did with the Fido project. Something to consider but it would be awesome if there was an a couple of options out there.

Huginn as an open source IFTTT competitor looks interesting https://github.com/cantino/huginn your-agents
