About

openHAB is an open-source home automation platform that runs locally on your own hardware without requiring any cloud service. It integrates hundreds of smart home devices and systems from different manufacturers into a single unified platform with a common interface and rule engine. Developed in Java and backed by the non-profit openHAB Foundation, it is fully vendor-neutral and community-driven.

Problem

Smart home users are locked into proprietary, cloud-dependent ecosystems that don't interoperate across different device brands and vendors.

For

DIY smart home enthusiasts and home automation hobbyists

How it works

openHAB runs on local hardware (e.g. a Raspberry Pi), uses software bindings to connect to hundreds of smart devices, and lets users define automation rules and custom interfaces without any cloud dependency.
