This page describes how openHAB binding can be installed

Introduction

Bindings are optional packages that can be used to extend functionality of openHAB. By help of bindings openHAB users can e.g. access Asterisk communications software or connect to the KNX Home Automation Bus.

Installation

openHAB bindings do not need a dedicated installation but three simple steps:

  1. Copy binding package to the respective folder
  2. Configure basic settings for binding
  3. Bind items and rules to the binding

Step 1: Copy binding package to the respective folder

All openHAB bindings are available as pre-packaged jar-files.

Please visit openHAB's download page and download the latest version of the addons-bundle. This bundle download contains all available bindings as individual pre-packages files.

Unzip the bundle package and place all binding you want to use in the folder ${openhab_home}/addons.

Step 2: Configure basic settings for binding

Visit openHAB's WIKI to check which basic configuration settings you can use for the bindings you want to use.

In openhab's configuration file "openhab.cfg" you can set these basic configuration settings.

Step 3: Bind items and rules to the binding

Visit openHAB's WIKI to check how to bind items, actions and rules to the bindings.

That's it!
