I really want to like Home Assistant, but at least on Windows there's some gnarly concurrency issues with it the last time I looked: it launches two Python processes and one of them fails every time. Also, there was no auto-discovery of LIFX lights and I was told I needed to re-implement the LIFX protocol from scratch because no extra dependencies were allowed in the discovery module.
