Update:

  • 2023-03-29 Updated the script to be compatible with helper library 5.0

The items/things file can be generated automatically when devices.yaml file is updated with the help of this rule:

require "personal"
require "personal/itemsgen"

rule "Autogen Items" do
  watch OpenHAB::Core.config_folder / "misc" / "devices.yaml", for: :modified
  run do |event|
    logger.info("#{event.path} #{event.type}. Regenerating things/items file.")
    yaml = YAML.load_file(event.path)
    gen = OpenhabGenerator::Devices.new(yaml)
    gen.template_dir = OpenHAB::Core.config_folder / "misc" / "templates"
    output = gen.generate
    File.write(OpenHAB::Core.config_folder / "things" / "z_generated.things", output["things"])
    File.write(OpenHAB::Core.config_folder / "items" / "z_generated.items", output["items"])
  end
end
