I had my fair share of endeavors with closed and open home automation solutions and this one really hit it off. openHAB is an amazingly flexible center for your smart home, regardless if you are playing around with ESP8266's or driving a whole KNX installation. It's open source and the almost 200 add-ons can talk to nearly everything out there, from Z-Wave over Alexa and IFTTT, your Tesla car and up to whatever you get onto MQTT. One warning though: "With great power comes great responsibility" ;) openHAB is not a point and shoot adventure. Setting up your SmartHome takes a few minutes but it's totally worth it! Happy Hacking ;)

Running it on raspbian, powerful and easy to use! Well maintained and free cloud service w/iOS and Android apps.
A very stable open-source, privacy-friendly Home Automation platform that supports a large number of devices and manufacturers and provided many languages, e.g. JS, Ruby, for automation.
I love openHAB because of it‘s wide variety of supported devices and manufacturers, the high number of different automation engines (JavaScript, Blockly, UI, Python etc.) and the stability and performance. The UI is one of the most adjustable UIs I’ve seen so far, with some web frontend development knowledge you can build most things you think of.
I like openHAB because it's open and great
Brings together nearly any smarthome system on the market, e.g. KNX, Tasmota, various smart devices such as TVs, under one system. Finally a way to automate across technologies.
it's flexible and supports a lot of devices
