Cosmoe and VitruvianOS are two different approaches of "Haiku" you may find interesting. Cosmoe works at the application toolkit level, allowing to build and run BeOS/Haiku apps on Linux. The toolkit is then implemented using

Zigbee is reliable and quite open. Just go for the Homeassistant and zigbee2mqtt route. You will be able to interact with almost anything from Homeassistant. I just finished moving all my Hue lights from the official hub to zigbee2mqtt + US
