I've been using OpenHAB for a year. I can't recommend it.

It's complicated to understand and use. It's resource intensive for what it's doing. I've had all the configuration disappear on several occasions. It's not uncommon for OpenHAB to hang. Nowadays a crontab reboots my machine every night to make OpenHAB "stable".

Since I don't touch it anymore and the daily reboots makes it stable enough, I haven't tried running Home Assistant yet. But if OpenHAB breaks one more time, I will switch to something else, that's for sure.
