Ok, so I understand we’re losing AppleScript, generally I understand why. Still don’t like it, but I do understand. That being said, we lose AppleScript I think that has to end my time with indigo.
See the problem I have is that everything important in my automation system runs on AppleScript. Everytime I change the channel on anyone of my 7 TV’s. Every time I tell my echo dot to turn on/off a speaker system. Tons of logic for security. The list goes on forever.
Further, I have a 1 year old and a 6 year old. I get very little time for my hobby these days. If I’m going to spend the time to re code everything in python I’m done. I’d rather spend the time moving to IFTTT and other GUI based user friendly logic methods. And hey, that’s my call I guess. Not trying to get to angry about this, I’m just a bit frustrated. Spent the last three years teaching myself AppleScript. I will not teach myself python. I have introductory programming skills in Microsoft VB and flash actionscript. There’s no way I’m going to learn python, and frankly, I don’t want to.
As I write this I feel I’m answering my own problems. But maybe with help from the indigo community I could get a little reassurance... is it time for me to move on? I’d really appreciate the brutal honest answer if that’s what you feel I need to hear.
Cheers everyone!
