# Home Automation (Java)
Vendor-neutral home automation, powered by openHAB.
## Features
- 350+ bindings (Hue, IKEA, Z-Wave, Zigbee, KNX, Modbus, BACnet, MQTT, ...)
- Powerful rule engine (DSL, Blockly, JavaScript, JRuby, Groovy)
- Sitemap-based UIs + modern Main UI
- Persistence (InfluxDB, RRD4J, JDBC)
- Voice control bindings
## ⚠️ Same hardware caveat as Home Assistant
Network-attached devices work from the cloud container. USB-bound technologies (Zigbee, Z-Wave) need a local USB-to-network bridge. See the Smart Home Hub manifest for details.
## Packaging
Thin wrapper around the official `openhab/openhab` image. The three persistent volumes (`userdata`, `conf`, `addons`) match openHAB's canonical layout.
