Is HomeMatic IP a good choice for OpenHAB?

Hello Tobias,

I use OpenHab a central hub for all my different devices, so I have integrated Tradfri, Alexa, Homematic, Squeezebox, and many other sensors other mqtt in one central place.

Therefore I have connected Alexa to OpenHab and I can command per voice any of the system connected to OpenHab.

The CCU is only use as bridge between OpenHab and the Homematic modules.

I have computer science background, so it is not a problem for me to program rules and define the items directly in the files.

With Alexa I almose don’t use anymore the Basic UI but I use HabPanel with Raspberry and Touch Display.

I use the Hue Binding to connect to Alexa.

Best Regards

Jean-Claude
