Is there a good open source smart home system? What do you guys use? Which brand to buy?

How is OpenHAB?

I tried home assistant but I can't manage to get it working with my reverse proxy.

Thanks

I'm using nginx proxy manager. It would be great if you would share the config

Paying a remote proxy doesn't make sense if my setup works for all but home assistant

It's not just a reverse proxy that they offer for that price. They also do the hard work of building a connector for google and other smart home systems, and they host parts of the voice assistant pipeline if your hardware isn't capable. Finally, the money helps to fund more cool HomeAssistant stuff.

👍🏻

I frequently donate to open source stuff. I'm down for paying stuff. I just want to host it myself if possible

One of the great things about Home Assistant is they give you full control over everything, so it's entirely up to you how much you rely on local vs cloud infrastructure. It all just comes down to how you configure individual settings and plugins.

Their subscription plan is great because it allows them to continue open source development without relying on commercial sponsorship, so there's no ecosystem bias or advertising or anything crazy like that. A great open source project.
