I've been using the same system for almost 5 years now, with no real problems. Has more than paid for itself by now.
I didn't switch to OpenHAB though, but instead hacked their original desktop control software, which is actually a Java web app with a localhost-bound Tomcat, to make it runnable on a headless Linux box and bind to the LAN IP. This way I have their control panel available constantly and remotely. Works surprisingly well and stable, given that this mode of operation was never intended.
Their actually-intended remote control path (via a server provided by the manufacturer) is crap however, very slow reaction time, unreliable and you somehow have to pay a subscription after a trial period.
- edejong 8y agoThat's a nice approach. Do you control the radiators using other inputs? Our current system works using a CalDAV calendar with repeating appointments providing information about work/home/sleep times. This is combined with presence detection using our mobile phones and Z-Wave motion detectors. This also controls lights, light color temperature and our ventilation system. All events go to InfluxDB / Grafana combo. OpenHAB 2 is the spider in this web of IoT stuff.
