Review on SysSCRIPT IoT Scripting by Arnold Carrigan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very happy user since 2014...and will likely keep going

I like how easy it was to learn, which has been one problem with other products in this space (like Python). Also being able to have several different ways you could execute your scripts makes me feel safe about my automation decisions without having someone breathing down our necks constantly asking if we're doing things correctly! Having an open source project as well keeps us honest when writing up new code so others are not left wondering what they should be using next time around - something many projects do today by providing their own proprietary libraries/frameworks instead of just sharing them all under MIT license. We've used python before but found ourselves stuck at times because there were too few options out there for simple tasks and also some limitations due to language itself vs hardware capabilities available outside those constraints where C# comes into its element. This gives more flexibility than any previous solutions while still keeping costs low enough compared even DIY alternatives such as arduinos etc. I like how simple it is to connect with the device, as well as writing scripts in Python. It's easy to get started using this software and you don't need any previous programming experience. The documentation could be more detailed at times but overall its pretty good. If your looking into getting an inexpensive way to program connected devices then this would be perfect! We are able to create our own custom apps quickly which saves us time and money.

Pros
  • The ability to script and control connected devices easily and quickly
Cons
  • It's hard to find help for the software and there's not a lot of documentation to help you through the process
