I did. Including the part of you getting angry. I wasn’t implying you or core developers of OpenHAB need or should do it. I am very capable of writing code (already started binding dev) and I wasn’t trying to put this on your shoulders, just looking for feedback. This is obviously a heated topic so there is desire on at least one side to have something simpler to setup than Amanda. I’ve done kernel driver development and been on Linux for >20yrs so I dont even need any of this…but I do think newbies do and I like a lower barrier to entry.
This is the “Inter-mess of Things”. I’m very disappointed in all these companies’ “must use our or our partners ecosystem/protocol/hub/etc” hubris and nothing really works together which was the main premise of IoT/HA I though…perhaps I’m misguided. OpenHAB has finally bridged the gaps in my HA and I’m happy. I would like to see it more widely available to a bigger audience…so you’re a sustaining member, what is your opinion? same or would you like to keep it l33t? (and FYI I am being genuine, I won’t judge anyone for wanting to keep things l33t.)
