As someone deeply involved in the world of smart homes, I’ve always believed that automation is the heart of any successful setup. It’s not just about having devices that can be controlled via an app—it’s about creating a system that can make decisions and act on its own. That’s why I’m so passionate about OpenHAB 3’s automation capabilities.
Currently, I’m experimenting with the various automation options available in OH3. From DSL rules to JavaScript and even Node-RED, there’s a lot to explore. I’ve also heard that Groovy is on the horizon, which is exciting! However, I’ve noticed that Jython, which is based on Python 2.7, might be reaching its end of life soon. This has me wondering about the future of scripting in OH3.
I’ve also been looking into GraalVM, which promises to support multiple languages natively. Running OH3 on GraalVM has been a fascinating experiment, and it seems to work well. But I’m curious—will OH3 fully adopt GraalVM in the future? How will this impact the way we write and manage automations?
I’d love to hear from others in the community. What automation setup are you using, and why? Are there specific features or improvements you’d like to see in OH3’s automation framework? Let’s discuss and help shape the future of smart home automation together!
Looking forward to your thoughts!
