The MQTT 1.x binding had an event bus configuration that is useful for integrating OH with other systems and for integrating multiple OH instances together.
Used cases include:
- vacation house remote monitoring and interaction
- remote elder monitoring (I use it for this)
- alternative UIs
I’m sure I’ve seen others mentioned.
The configuration automatically publishes events and sincerity to events in a standardized way with minimal configuration.
I didn’t even think of this. It’s going to be a whole lot of work to redo this by hand. It’s going to be quite some time before I can adopt this new binding without the event bus because it basically means recreating two new complete OH configs.
