| | ioBroker | openHAB |
|---|---|---|
| Score | 87.5 | 89.0 |
| Rank | #5 | #4 |
| Price | Free and open source | Free and open source |
| Best for | Open-source automation with many adapters | Vendor-neutral open-source server for tinkerers |
| Where automations run | Locally in your network | Your own server, Pi or Docker |
| Hub hardware | None, you supply the server | None, any supported computer or Pi |
| Matter support | Yes, through the Matter adapter | Not stated on vendor site |

More than 800 adapters, rules built by clicking, in Blockly or in TypeScript, and local automations that keep running offline. Matter comes through an adapter, and the community is strongly German-speaking. Vendor-neutral and fully open source, running on Linux, Windows, macOS, Docker or a Pi with no cloud required. Its rules and setup take longer to learn than consumer apps, and its site does not state Matter support.
