    I second openhab. Can't speak for too many integrations but all I tried work without issues.

    Especially the separation of abstraction layers is something that I came to appreciate highly. You have the physical object, it's item representation and then the rules and interactions. On the downside might be the way that this abstraction makes the configuration a bit more complicated - but as you're missing the yaml config you might enjoy the configuration files! I'd just give it a shot :)

    HA has a sour taste for me since their broken promise about open sourcing their server side. It's still a black box. Plus the whole dns debacle a while back. And I honestly don't understand how HA is still the de facto standard for home automation - I tried recreating some of my more complicated rules in HA and it became such a mess very quickly (think of 3 or 4 non nested conditions and altering the states of multiple objects depending on virtual items).
