Overview
OpenHAB is an open-source home automation platform designed to integrate a wide range of smart home technologies and devices into a single, unified system. It operates as a central server, running on various operating systems like Linux, macOS, Windows, and Raspberry Pi, and communicates with devices using over 400 different technologies. This allows users to control lighting, security systems, thermostats, and other appliances from a single interface.
