"Best" local automation system that also works well with Google Home
I understand the feeling :) I’ve tried home assistant multiple times, and I always come back to openHAB. Maybe it’s me getting old, don’t know. But like you, I dislike updating my server and having broken dependencies. That happens quite frequently with HA, where every once in a while we get people over on openHAB community forum asking for advice ( e.g. https://community.openhab.org/t/migration-from-home-assistant-to-openhab-and-installation-type/140110 ) because they too just want a stable service that they can rely on. I won’t say that there’s never been broken dependencies - not at all, in a previous update they changed the way the API works and the node red node broke - but here the difference is that you can go to their GitHub and review the changes (https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/3.4.0.M3) and they are impeccable in documentation. Check out the google integration documentation to understand what I mean:
- OpenHAB cannot install bindings - maybe server is down?
- Openhab 3.3.0 M4 has been released!

Completely disconnected HA for bus living?
OpenHAB would work well as well. Definitely agree on zwave or maybe zigbee devices for low power usage.

SERVERS DOWN
I use this https://www.home-assistant.io/ or another https://www.openhab.org/ and a cheap raspberry pi zero. It can run 24/7. And maybe some "hacking" on your devices if not supported aka listed.

Valetudo – Cloud replacement for vacuum robots enabling local-only operation
If you provided MQTT support like plenty of IoT companies do, then any open source home automation tool can integrate! Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) have a grading system, so a local-first implementation would give you their highest score since they also really care about privacy. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2016/02/12/classifying-th...
