I want to hear you guys, if you know of, or has any experience in a opensource framework for IoT.

I'm specificaly searching for a framework that has a finished android app, that i can download, with a smooth interface, that i can use to control all kinds of devices (lights blinds, locks, temperature etc.).

So this would include a protocol, either tcp/http... that i can implement in the esp.

I'm imaging the app to be something like: The app discovers the devices on my LAN, whereafter its possible to configure how it should look.

It's relatively new, but already has great features, and has a great UX. Some features might be missing, but the developer is working actively.

If you have the guts and time to roll on your own, a combination of OpenHab and MQTT can go a very long way.
