Home automation, where to start...

[hyperseven]

Have theses devices:
Harmony hub
Hue lights
Amazon echo
Sonoff switches (on the way)

What is the easiest to use/pick up home automation server? Openhab2, Home assistant?

Will be using iPad, Android phone and voice via echo to control.

Even with a home server don't you still need to set up external 3rd party services, ie accounts on harmony and ewelink?

the sonoffs I am going to flash a different firmware so not dependant on 3rd party cloud services, using mqtt instead.

decided on openhab2, plonked it on a pi zero w.
