I've been using the Homeseer system for years. It's Zwave/[RF in its own
band - not wifi]. It actually runs in linux on a Pi. Has a simple but
not visually fancy interface you can run directly, and also has a very
easy and visually fancier interface that runs on android or ios, or a
browser. You can restrict to just your wifi, so no callhome, if you want
better security. Very reliable, in my experience...

It's linux, and you can access it at that level if you wish, and even
add to it. :-) Can also run from Windows. Lots of options, and lots of
Zwave stuff to choose from.

It's not free, though, if that's a requirement.
