Seriously considering going back to Domoticz again.
So you've been running Domoticz before? Why did you switch - just curious? Could you just write down some pros and cons - comparing those two? A bit off topic, but would be nice to hear about your practical experience
Domoticz is awesome, but the openzwave library is its weakness. Response times can be a little slow (several seconds to turn on a light etc). I'm keen to see if that has improved.
The upside is a very passionate core development group that are always willing to help out. And then there is the open source aspect - if you're brave enough, you can always modify/fix/improve the code yourself. The documentation is decent and current, and the community is quite helpful.
Automation was easy using Google's Blocky for beginners, or Lua for more advanced functionality.
And it integrates with pretty much anything.
The downsides - the UI looks a little dated, it's quite a learning curve at first, and it means dumping what ever you have in z-way to make the switch.
