I thought I’d document some stuff here on my openHAB setup, to get some tips or suggestions from the community.
My name is Aaron. I live in Australian. I’m really interested in IoT in the last year or so and home automation, and slowly automating and smartifying my existing house as I go.
Setup
So I’m running openHAB on a Raspberry Pi 3. I used the Openhabian installer, and it was a fairly straight forward installation from my friend MK Smart House. Thanks I friend.
General
I actually started out my beginner journey with MK-Smart House video.
My MK Sprinkler was my first real step into an actual smart home, and I had lots of fun playing around, the wireless switch with useing the App on my phone is good,
Matt from MK-Smart House show how to manually program rules.
Next I got 3 Yeelight Lights (just useing one right now as there are Screwing bulbs)
I have and fronius solar inverter what I have a Bridge in “things” to get info from
I have the Open Weather Map Binding but am looking to move to Bom (what is a Australian weather website.
I also have 1 google home, 1 google mini, 1 google Chromecast working with OpenHab
Broadlink work with MQTT to turn on and off my Projector and HiFI.
Stuff that isn’t working right
So there is a few stuff I’m trying that isn’t working correctly yet, and I’m working on it. =P
*Need to make some “Rules” to not water when rain is coming.
*I have a old tablet, which I have not got HABPanel on or anything of openhab on it yet, wait to have the right tools that I like
*I have InfluxDB and Grafana, get some dater from my solar but have been able to moved the graph to openhab yet.
*I like to make an graph that counts how long I water my plants and convert into liters.
*Looking to Monitor how much power I using and selling back to the power grid
*I got 2 Digoo BB-M1X Ip camera’s yet to be put into Openhab yet to be don have been told have to use this software IspyConnect thanks to BK Hobby.
*I also have 2 wemos thinking of making something like this with taking temperature also.
I like to show my Items and sitemaps and Rules and my influxdb.persist file (I just started with grafana)
So if I have stuff some thing up I like to know.

I have to say thanks guys for helping me this far 
and look forward for any comments or help or corrections.
