Hello,
I am looking for a comprehensive smart home platform that can integrate devices from different manufacturers.
So far, I have come across the following options:
Home Assistant
OpenHAB
ioBroker
Which of these platforms is the best or most widely used?
It is important to me that it runs stably and allows for creating good automations.
Additionally, there should be a smartphone app available that can be used on the go to control the smart home or at least check the status of devices remotely.
Are all of these programs open source and available for free?
Which of these platforms would you recommend, or should we perhaps consider WiButler or Homee, which also support various wireless standards?

What do you mean by that? Motion sensors with batteries? Connected to the mains would definitely be more convenient.Yes. If you find a sensor with a fixed power supply (without bus!) that works with EnOcean, Wi-Fi, or another wireless system, please let me know. I haven’t come across one yet.At most, just standard 230 V sensors with or on a switching contact.
You’re right, I couldn’t find any motion detectors with a wired power connection for wireless smart homes.
The electrician explained Free@Home to me again; he would only implement Free@Home in a decentralized way, using a mix of bus wiring and wireless.
In the rooms, he would run the bus cable to each individual light switch and roller shutter switch, daisy-chaining them.
In the stairwell, however, he would always use wireless to ensure wireless mesh coverage. Window sensors are wireless anyway with F@H.
Since the decentralized Free@Home version with a bus/wireless mix is not really optimal, I will follow your advice @Araknis and have everything wired conventionally, then retrofit a wireless smart home later.
