鹅厂的qq物联平台， 阿里物联平台等等。我近段时间工作也涉及物联网方面，目前在原型阶段， 把当前开源的IOT平台openhab拿来对比，总结下自己可以借用改进哈.

 

    直接从 http://www.openhab.org/features.html copy过来 openhab的介绍

More and more new cool devices and technologies arrive at our homes every day. But though they are all aimed at enhancing our lifestyle they all lack one important feature:  a common language  they could speak to each other to create a really automated and smart environment at home. The main goal of openHAB is to provide an integration platform to fix this issue。

What is openHAB?

openHAB is a software for integrating different home automation systems and technologies into one single solution that allows over-arching automation rules and that offers uniform user interfaces.

This means openHAB

1.  is designed to be absolutely vendor-neutral as well as hardware/protocol-agnostic
2.  can run on any device that is capable of running a JVM (Linux, Mac, Windows)（这个平台都是用java写的，需要跑个jvm，对于资源有限的承载硬件是负担）
3.  lets you integrate an abundance of different home automation technologies into one
4.  has a powerful rule engine to fulfill all your automation needs
5.  comes with different web-based UIs as well as native UIs for iOS and Android
6.  is fully open source
7.  is maintained by a passionate and growing community
8.  is easily extensible to integrate with new systems and devices
9.  provides APIs for being integrated in other systems

 

Considering the user perspective also means caring for  data privacy. With openHAB, all data (like sensor data or actuator commands) belongs to the user and it is up to him to decide, what data should potentially leave his house and where it is sent. Furthermore, there is no remote access possible, if it is not desired - everything works nicely within the intranet and does not even require an Internet connection. We therefore also like to call it the " Intranet of Things".

 

It therefore assumes that the  sub-systems are setup and configured independently of openHAB as this is often a very specific and complex matter (including "pairing" processes, direct device links etc.). Instead, openHAB focuses on the " daily use" side of things and abstracts from the devices themselves

 

 

A very important aspect of openHAB's architecture is its  modular design. It is very easy to add new features (like the integration with yet another system through a "binding") and you can  add and remove such features at runtime. This modular approach has been a huge enabler for the active community around openHAB with many engaged contributors.

 

 

The openHAB project is split into two parts:  openhab runtime , which you will actually run on your server and which does the "real" work and  openhab designer which is more or less a configuration tool for the openhab runtime. It comes with user-friendly editors to configure your runtime, to define your UIs and to implement your rules

 

The openHAB runtime is a set of OSGi bundles deployed on an OSGi framework (Equinox)

 

Every technology or device, social network or cloud platform integrated into openHAB is supported by a specific bundle. Those bundles are optional and pluggable, they can be added to your openHAB as soon as you need them.

Bindings provide integration with different home automation technologies and devices while there are quite a lot of other bundles providing integration and communication with social networks, instant messaging, cloud IoT platfroms and much more

openhab不仅仅能接入设备，它还能连接社交网络，IM，云平台，参考 http://www.openhab.org/features-tech.html

像 Dropbox， Asterisk， Nest,  推ter,  SNMP等等，云平台，设备，协议都可以作为bundle添加到openhab.

 

openhab可以作为家庭智能网关中心， 通过它来操控家庭智能设备，各种交互。

 

从 http://www.openhab.org/gettingstarted.html 可以使用demo来实际体验下openhab, 部署简单。

参考 https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/Hue-Binding，把hue灯接入，玩了一下, 感觉目前openhab是一个geek玩的，接入一个新的东西，流程需要编辑item, sitemap, 即需要手工设置设备实例信息。
