FlxptrsAn die Home-Automation Gemeinde: #homeassistent oder #openhab oder was ganz anderes? Ich habe bereits einen Raum mit Hue ausgestattet, will aber nicht komplett an das Ökosystem gebunden sein. Was sind so eure Setups? #plsboost

TuxCon 2025 and the new challenge – Developing Open Source Hardware and Software EUR 20 IoT Smart Home Server
Last weekend, on May 10–11, the TuxCon 2025 open-source hardware and software conference was hosted in Plovdiv. TuxCon is a small, local event organized by volunteers since 2014. The event was held…
Ch M[ae][iy]e?r 🇪🇺 🖤 🤍Ich verstehe nicht, was an #HomeAssistant "einsteigerfreundlich" sein soll. 🙄 ...
Ich habe (vorerst) nur einen Reed-Kontakt am Gas-Zähler und einen Ultraschallsensor (JSN-SR04T) in der Regenwasser-Zisterne.
Beide kann ich problemlos mit #Arduino (und C++) und auch mit den #Raspi-GPIOs (und Python) auslesen.
Es macht mich wahnsinnig.
Der RasPi 4 läuft ziemlich warm und die Einrichtung (via #MQTT) ist alles andere als intuitiv. GPIOs direkt auslesen will es natürlich auch nicht. ...
Am liebsten soll ich mir wohl einen #ESP32 oder #ESP8266 ins WLAN hängen, aber die können keine 5V für den Ultraschallsensor. ...
Und wofür will HA Internet und dubiose "Assistenten", die mir Alexa und KI schmackhaft machen wollen. 🤮
Ich gehe jetzt mal 'ne runde löten zum Entspannen, und wenn mir nichts besseres einfällt, dann kommt #OpenHAB auf den RasPi. ...
James Derrick@peachfiend I have used both, including a parallel run for a while.
I'm not going to write a comparison article, but generally find #HomeAssistant has a larger community and a better GUI.
The days of editing YAML in HA are gone, but then again, the Java-like #openHAB scripting language has also moved on with several options.
Some migration notes may help a comparison:

Migration from OpenHAB to HA
Hi, it’s my first post here but I have briefly tried HA with docker installation and are considering to migrate from OpenHAB to HA for the following reasons: HA seems to be more actively developed with larger community Matter support - for sure important for Apple users, OH still doesn’t have a concrete plan on matter support Better HomeKit support, including integration to native Homekit devices, I have some IoTs which only support HomeKit UI and app on iOS also looks better Given that said,...
peachfiend - they/them 🏳️⚧️now soliciting advice about open source "home assistant" solutions. i have finally convinced my partner to give up her Google Home Minis.
currently under consideration:
* #HomeAssistant https://companion.home-assistant.io/
* #openHAB https://www.openhab.org/
currently leaning toward Home Assistant because there seems to be at least some community activity and support for most of my lights (https://github.com/nikshriv/cync_lights).
if you've used either/both of these, input is welcome, and #BoostsAreAppreciated

Got the full voice activation working in #openhab we are talking the use of a wake word, Speech to Text and Text to Speech as well as a basic speech interpreter.
I should probably write a blog post on this, it was quite a few bits and pieces.
DerFetzerEver wanted to write your #openHAB home automation rules in #rustlang?
Now you can! With #habrs!
https://github.com/DerFetzer/hab-rs
hab-rs is an external rule engine for your openHAB instance.
Feel free to give it a try!

Hat irgendjemand #GoogleHome oder Apple #HomeKit (oder Amazon Alexa mit SmartHome-Zeug da drin)?
Könntet ihr mir vielleicht mal ein paar Screenshots von eurem Dashboard schicken/kommentieren? Ich brauche Inspiration und will mal gucken, was die großen Closed-Source-Firmen so haben.
Achso und vielleicht wollt ihr auf #HomeAssistant oder #OpenHAB wechseln :)!

Just DudeI am switching from Home assistant to OpenHab.
I like the setup, automations. Modeling my equipment in rooms, floors is super handy
The gui is also nice and easy, graphs are not setup but the examples look nice.
The export of data to MySQL or any other persistent database is simple and integrated
What a respectable amount of plugins
It is a bit new and fiddling withall the new ways it gets configured but intuitive
So any tips or links to how-to guides and best practices?
