Controller selection matrix

Not being very happy with Domoticz for various reasons, I'd like to chose a new controller.
However, I'm baffled by the number of them and by the amount of information available about them. It is not possible to read all the fora about all the controllers to figure out which one suits my personal needs best.

Would it be possible to have a page on the website with a matrix of properties of the controllers ? If the structure is made by the website people, the content can be filled in by the community.

Things I would be interested in are
- Functional features
- In what language the controller is written
- What API's are supported
- What scripting languages are supported
- Configuration user-friendliness
- Operation user-friendliness
- What OS-ses will it run on
- How wide and active is the supporting community
- Open-sourced or not

Hi @edoardoo I actually stumbled on your post a couple of weeks ago! Great writeup! We certainly need contributors. We need help with everything from the visualisation of sensordata in the frontend (considering using d3.js) to mqtt/node.js backend for receiving and processing sensor data. Please contact me or Johan for further discussions.

@OldSurferDude use a host name for the broker in the configure command (--my-controller-url-address=). Add the host name to /etc/hosts on the rpi where the gateway is. Start the MySensors gatway. When you want to switch brokers, modify /etc/hosts again and restart the MySensors gateway.

@David-Dawson great idea for that translation from homie to mysensors and back. but I think it would be a better approach, if mysensors would have the ability to "speak" homie-convention in MQTT optionally (e.g. #MY_GATEWAY_MQTT_HOMIE) that would eliminate the need of tweaking on an extra binding and let mysensors talk an IOT-standard

@monte said in Best choise for a controller: @neverdie but isn't Docker more efficient and simple solution compared to a VM? Considering it will be used for single process anyway. Yes, I think you're right.

Hi dzairo, Just wondering if you still monitor this thread. If so would love to know how to install the ComPort component so I can modify and use your terminal code. For some reason I don't have any luck with adding it to the IDE. thanks, Andy.

I have a similar project: For my fathers boat, I want to use a Nextion as a central informations display. I will use a asr6501 as self containing gateway/controller, so maybe we can exchange experiences.
