Jeedom vs openHAB

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.

openHAB is free, open-source home automation software that runs on the user's hardware and can operate without a cloud service. It supports more than 400 technologies and systems, with over 3,000 supported things available through add-ons. Its automation engine includes rules, time and event triggers, scripts, actions, notifications and voice control. Servers can run on Linux, macOS, Windows, Raspberry Pi, Docker and Synology; access is available through web, iOS, Android and other apps. Integrations include Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit. The project says data stays privately at home and that local devices are contacted directly when possible. The myopenhab.org service is free when used with the openHAB Cloud connector. The project describes itself as vendor-neutral and says it avoids lock-in. For Raspberry Pi, openHABian provides an image with preconfigured settings and software. The project has no company behind it; the openHAB Foundation, a registered non-profit organisation, supports openHAB and its development. The community shares examples and tutorials and provides help.
