OpenHAB is home automation software with which components can be read and controlled. You can think of light switches, various sensors, LED lamps, security equipment and many other home automation hardware. It can be done through so-called binding talking via ZWave, Nest and ZigBee, or controlling products from Ikea Trådfri, Xiaomi Smart Home and Philips Hue. For more information, please refer to this page and for user experiences you can also visit our Forum, in the The Great OpenHAB topic.

Please especially note that there is no full backward compatibility with existing setups – so please carefully check the section on breaking changes.
