Pull request overview
Expands the "Alternative Home Automation Software" section of the README with seven new platforms (Homebridge, Node-RED, ioBroker, FHEM, Jeedom, Hubitat, HomeSeer) and replaces the abbreviation "HA" with "Home Assistant" in the section's intro paragraph.
Changes:
- Spell out "HA" as "Home Assistant" in the section intro.
- Add seven new entries (mix of open source and commercial, with star counts where applicable) at the end of the alternatives list.
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)
README.md:799
- Star counts are included for some new entries (Homebridge, Node-RED, ioBroker, Jeedom) but omitted for others (FHEM, Hubitat, HomeSeer). For consistency with existing entries in this section that do report counts (e.g. Domoticz, Gladys), either add star counts where a GitHub repo is the canonical link, or omit them everywhere. Note that the entries without counts here link to non-GitHub websites, which makes the omission defensible, but consider also linking the repos where available (e.g. Hubitat and HomeSeer do not have public source repos, so the website is correct, but FHEM has a public mirror).

README.md:799
- Hubitat and HomeSeer are commercial, closed-source platforms. The "Adding a new link" guidelines and the section-specific exemptions in CONTRIBUTING.md do not exempt this section from the license/open-source check, and
awesome-lint/ the listing checker may reject vendor homepages without an open-source repository. The existing SmartThings/Homey entries set some precedent, but please confirm these new commercial entries passscripts/check_listing.pyand the broader acceptance criteria before merging.
- [Hubitat](https://hubitat.com/) - Commercial local-first hub supporting Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Matter with all automations running on the device.
