Comparison of Open Source Software Home Automation Tools
summary
Survey compares Home Assistant, OpenHAB 2 and Domoticz with concrete numbers and install options rather than vague features. Home Assistant (>1,000 components, Python, HASS.io images, recommended on Raspberry Pi 3+) emphasizes MQTT support and automatic discovery. OpenHAB 2 (>1,500 supported things, Java, Eclipse license) offers broad protocol coverage and mobile apps. Domoticz (C++, ~250 contributors, lightweight on Pi) targets constrained devices. Multiple platforms run side by side, installation is the main pain point, and the takeaway is consolidation rather than creating another system.
