Is there a good open source smart home system? What do you guys use? Which brand to buy?

How is OpenHAB?

I tried home assistant but I can't manage to get it working with my reverse proxy.

I’m going to add to the chorus of voices here advising you to stick with homeassistant. It is hands down the best open source home automation platform.

If you need help with reverse proxy let me know if you’re using nginx. There are a few header configurations that are required for the home assistant interface and I’d be glad to share my nginx configuration file.

You could also pay $6/month for nabu casa and they will proxy everything for you in the cloud.

Caddy (OSS & free) is possibly the easiest reverse proxy to install and configure, and gets and manages SSL certs with literally no configuration.
