openHAB
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- But some other choices include FHEM or openHAB.
- HomeAssitant certainly has all the bells and whistles, but Openhab is incredibly stable. This install has been running and stable without one crash or outage in about 10 years.
- Local control doesn't care about the internet, so if you just want to use timers smart switches, and presence sensing a hub like HomeAssistant, Openhab, hubitat, etc should be able to do that.
- I use OpenHAB personally. I find it's a lot more intuitive for me than Home Assistant to get rules/automations working and to have a good looking dashboard.
- I have been using openHAB for a number (10?) of years. I find it to be very reliable.
Cons
- Or Openhab with a plugin for you lights and a network plugin to detect the ip of your phone if it is near by.
- Currently spinning up OpenHab instance to see its zwave support, but I really am not a java fan.
- Just monitor the watts then create a rule (I use OpenHAB) to determine when it’s done.

I deliberately have OpenHAB so I don't have to mess around with vendor-specific apps.
This is why so many people advocate selfhosting with tools like openhab or home assistant.
