Well, for starters, it's designed to be completely distributed. I only had time to glance at openHAB a bit, but from what I see, it's rather centralized with the services being distributed. DSA is entirely distributed. All DSLinks (Protocol Transformers, Data Providers, and Data Readers) can run completely remote of the server. The DSA broker (what connects all these DSLinks together) is distributed too, it can switch DSLinks over to other brokers if it fails by using a system that assigns backup brokers. Also, DSA supports binary data like images, videos, etc. DSA also can form a network of brokers. Brokers can connect to other brokers, to multiple brokers as well.
