I dont think it is better, but there are people who use open hab and there people who use home assistant
#### How can DietPi make the installation easier or compatible, than following the install instructions or do APT installation, if available?
According to the official install instructions there are a several manual steps to do: DietPi could automate those steps, which saves end users a lot of time and allows installation as well to less experienced Linux users.

- openHAB | This long requested vendor and technology agnostic FLOSS home automa… tion software has been finally added to DietPi. Many thanks to @just-jason and many others for requesting it and @MDAR for providing install instructions and valuable information: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3857
Funny you should say that, I updated a standard machine and couldn’t find it either.
I suspect it’s in the Dev branch right now
Maybe I / we should try this branch?
## Steps to use the DietPi "beta" branch
#### This is the pre-release branch for public testing and may potentially be unstable.
The goal of the beta branch, is to allow for public testing of our next release. Once testing has passed, and, all issues have been resolved, the beta branch will then be set live on our stable branch (master). We will apply updates to the beta branch during pre-release phases, you will then see an update notification. By running `dietpi-update` your beta version will then update to the latest.
By joining the Beta and reporting issues, you will be assisting DietPi (and all our users) to ensure stability before stable release.
#### Beta on a fresh image:
1. Write the DietPi image to SD card.
2. Open the file `/boot/dietpi.txt` on the 1st partition.
3. Change `DEV_GITBRANCH=master` to `DEV_GITBRANCH=beta` (located near the bottom of the file).
4. Save the file, eject media and power on.
#### Beta on an existing installation:
1. Recommended: Backup your system with `dietpi-backup` (or backup quickly with `dietpi-backup 1`).
2. Run the following command to switch to "beta" branch:
```sh
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'DEV_GITBRANCH=' 'DEV_GITBRANCH=beta' /boot/dietpi.txt
```
3. Run `dietpi-update` to update the system, then reboot (or update quickly with `dietpi-backup 1`).
4. Test away, please report any issues on our GitHub page. Also ensure you mention "beta branch" in your post: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues

Or this link
Using the above list to identify the software number, we can simply use the following command to install openHAB
dietpi-software install 206
Node-red is 122201
Or just use dietpi-software to look at all the other options
Per default, HTTPS is active on port 8444 and HTTP is inactive (DietPi recommendation)./etc/default/openhab by setting OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT= to your desired port.
