## What it is
ioBroker is an open-source integration and automation platform for the Internet of Things, focused on building automation, smart metering, and data logging. It connects heterogeneous systems through a plugin-style adapter architecture backed by in-memory or Redis databases for exchanging states and events.

## Use cases
- automate my smart home devices
- integrate different iot systems into one platform
- log and visualize sensor data at home
- control building automation from a self-hosted hub
- connect smart meters to a dashboard
- run a local home automation server

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, adapter-based smart home hub
- you need to integrate many heterogeneous iot protocols and devices
- you want flexible automation with visualization and data logging
- you prefer a platform extensible in nearly any language via adapters

## When to avoid
- you need a cloud-first smart home solution
- you want to expose the platform directly to the internet without extra security measures
- you need a simple plug-and-play consumer product rather than a configurable platform
