You may wanna tinker with Reactor Multi-Hub as developed by @toggledbits since not only does it tie in neatly to Hubitat via Maker API, this GUI gem offers a robust scripting language with a fairly low learning curve, installs easily on Docker, and integrates with several other platforms, including HA, Vera/eZLO, MQTT and SmartThings (probably others by now) as well.
Thanks. I just looked into it and while it looks great I’d really like to not have to start learning a new language again. OpenHAB supports python and other shells so it makes it very easy for me to develop on.
Ive also been looking at my HA environment and like 90% of my lighting is hue. Back in the day when I started using hue the api was very basic so you couldn’t control a ton of scenes easily. Over time it’s gotten better so developing custom stuff has become easier. As zwave and zgibee switches have failed over time I’ve been replacing them with friends of hue switches.
I’ve also pretty much given up on all of my window sensors because I’m tired of replacing batteries. Seems like the battery notification in hubitat isn’t very reliable.
I’ve been running the hue contact sensors for a few months now on my doors and they seem to report well and have accurate battery notifications.
My other devices are supported by HomeKit so between HomeKit and some custom development I think I may actually be able to get off of hubitat.
So who knows, maybe I won’t bother going to openHAB. We’ll see…

Hi, Im the author of the VSCode plug-in. It's not deprecated, but I haven't had much need to change it for a while. The few people who use it, including myself seem to really like it. It's a huge timesaver. If there are improvements to be made, i am happy to consider them.
