openHAB
A vendor and technology agnostic open source automation software for your home
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.
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.
