openHAB is an alternative to Home Assistant, and somewhat easier to configure. Where Home Assistant is Python/Yaml based, openHAB is Java. Both systems has great capabilities, and differs a lot in the approach, but I do prefer openHAB and the UI is better I You like UIs for config - this is a little "better" and the UI configuration greatis nice. One of the parameters for choosing, can be the amount or specific support for devices, its seems to me that Home Assistant has quite a lot more that openHAB, but also that several of them lacks functionality and are difficult to actually configure/use; I never understood the "media_player" stuff in Home Assistant. Visit the Showcase and How-tos site. OpenHAB 2 supports the new Eclipse SmartHome APIs for bindings, and additional bindings can be found at GitHub For the HAPanel in OpenHAB, theres a wide varity of widgets |

I do use Home Assistant now a days - I has a more rapid release cycle and getting a lot of UI improvements... |
