    Where you can install HA, you can install openhab. In my opinion the interface, and support is far broader than HA. Plus on a side note, they don't require you to put up money for additional features like control with Alexa and Google Home.

    Combining triggers using IFTTT, Zapier, and Microsoft Flow automations can be challenging. Switchur is the answer. Because every orchestra needs a good conductor.
