If you’re willing to take the time to set it up, openhab is actually pretty great. I’m using it here to manage a bunch of stuff, with absolute reliability. All of our stuff here is fail-stupid, so if any of the automation breaks, there failure mode is the least damaging one possible, and there always a manual override. We use it for: - PV, wind, generator, future hydro monitoring, power regulation, routing (water heaters come one when the batteries are nearly full, air rads come on when batteries are full and water is at 85. - Water management. Sensors in tanks, and river, tell us relevant levels. Pumps run when they need to to keep things topped up, but also based on power availability. - Agriculture. Got moisture and light sensors in each bed, valve on irrigation triggered by soil and sun conditions. Weather station at the house provides additional parameters. Going to add nutrients to the system in the future. - Lighting. Right now it’s just doing dimmers/LRGB for the home theatre - still can’t quite get it syncing up LRGB for ambient lighting based on display but working on it. Also, currently rigging up fairy lamps in the trees along the road to trigger based on presence.
