Homey suits people who want to control smart-home devices and create automations across supported brands and protocols. Its free cloud option fits households with up to five devices, while larger setups can consider the paid cloud plan or a one-time Pro hub.
openHAB suits people who want to run home automation on their own hardware and keep operation independent of a cloud service. It may also suit users seeking broad technology support and a vendor-neutral system.
