    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.

    Integrations with esp8266 devices and smart metering is a dream Domoticz, were HA gives lots of integration challenges with mqtt.
