The open Home Automation Bus (openHAB) project aims at providing a universal integration platform for all things around home automation. It is a pure Java solution, fully based on OSGi. The Equinox OSGi runtime and Jetty as a web server build the core foundation of the runtime.
It is designed to be absolutely vendor-neutral as well as hardware/protocol-agnostic. openHAB brings together different bus systems, hardware devices and interface protocols by dedicated bindings. These bindings send and receive commands and status updates on the openHAB event bus. This concept allows designing user interfaces with a unique look&feel, but with the possibility to operate devices based on a big number of different technologies. Besides the user interfaces, it also brings the power of automation logics across different system boundaries.

So far the "productive" openHAB code is at http://github.com/openhab/openhab. This project is the home of the next-generation openHAB aka openHAB2. A major focus of openHAB2 is adding administration UIs to the system to make it more user-friendly for "regular" users (i.e. not the developer type). For this, openHAB2 is now based on the Eclipse SmartHome project. openHAB2 is not yet ready to be used as it is in an early phase. We will try to provide regular updates on the state of things, so stay tuned!
Nonetheless we have snapshot builds already available at CloudBees - they even include a 1.x compatibility bundle, so that a couple of openHAB 1.x addons can be used with it (we are working on further improving this compatibility layer).
If you are looking for support, please check out the different support channels that we provide.
As any good open source project, openHAB welcomes any participation in the project. Read more in the how to contribute guide.
If you are a developer and want to jump right into the sources and execute openHAB from within Eclipse, please have a look at the IDE setup procedures.
