FHEM vs Jeedom

FHEM is free, GPL version 2 software for automating household devices from a self-hosted Perl server. It can control lamps, shutters, heating, and other compatible equipment while recording temperature, humidity, and power events. Control is available through web or smartphone frontends, telnet, or TCP/IP. FHEM can create devices and logs when new device data arrives, write events to files or databases with regular-expression filters, notify external programs or scripts, and run timed commands. Its text, JSON, and XML interfaces work over plain TCP/IP, SSL, or HTTP. The modular system lists more than 430 modules and supports devices and services including HomeMatic, Z-Wave, EnOcean, Philips Hue, FRITZ!Dect, Alexa, HomeKit, HomeBridge, and MQTT. Media examples include major television brands, Bose, Sonos, Kodi, Plex, and Apple TV. It offers local control, energy monitoring, voice-assistant support, installation guidance, packages, containers, documentation, and a forum.

Jeedom is free, open-source home automation software for connecting, controlling, and automating equipment. It operates locally without requiring a cloud connection, and its scenario engine lets users build routines that adapt an environment to daily life. The software supports local control, Zigbee, Z-Wave, voice assistants, cameras, and energy monitoring. Jeedom Market offers more than 400 plugins for additional integrations and capabilities, while multi-brand and multi-protocol compatibility is checked through a dedicated compatibility site. A local history engine provides graphs, smoothing, compression, CSV and XLS export, and links to InfluxDB and Grafana. Jeedom exposes a JSON-RPC 2.0 API and another API using URLs and HTTP requests. iOS and Android apps can control installations over local Wi-Fi or a mobile network. The mobile WebApp is mainly advisory and cannot edit scenarios, modify equipment, or open configuration. Software costs nothing; some plugins and services may be paid. Community forums and approved professionals provide installation help.
