OpenHab vs Home Assistant vs Domoticz – Let’s get down to Business

  1. "empowering the smart home" - vendor and technology agnostic open source home automation
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    OpenHab2 was released in 2017 with the idea of reaching a less technical audience. The new release includes Paper UI, a new web UI that allows you to do a lot of the configurations without having to edit files. In principle this is great, but there is a caveat. Paper UI still doesn´t support all the features in OpenHab so you still have to go and do some of the configurations editing the files. I think the initiative is still halfway there but once everything is supported, it will be able to reach a lot of users that don´t feel very comfortable in a Linux environment. The main downside of it is having to configure things in two different places, Paper UI and the files. It is not ideal to keep your configuration versioned and to create regular backups.

  2. Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform running on Python 3.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I haven´t really found any significant advantage of Domoticz over Home Assistant or OpenHab. I think it was a great platform at some point, however, the community is not as strong as it used to be. The is an exodus of users moving to OpenHab or Home Assistant. Compared to the other two it lacks flexibility and supported devices. At this point, I don´t think Domoticz is the best option unless of course, you already have an installation.

    Domoticz is slightly less straightforward. There used to be an SD card image as for the other two alternatives but Domoticz stopped maintained this. To install Domoticz you first need to have a Raspberry Pi distribution like Raspbian installed and with Internet connectivity.
