I don’t have any phillips hue lights so I can’t offer any advice there. I just started using a vera edge for my zwave needs. The MIOS openhab binding has been working quite well for me. You might want to give that a shot. The vera edge only costs $100. I was initially using the openhab zwave binding, but I gave up on it as the vera edge supports the doorlocks and scene controller keypads I want to use.
I do actually use this piece of software:
to make some of my openhab items look like phillips hue lights. It allows me to tie openhab items into both my harmony remote control and amazon echo voice commands. Fun stuff.
As of now I recommend getting a vera edge for your zwave needs, and a harmony hub for IR control. I truly hate including proprietary hardware/software in my solutions, but I haven’t been able to fulfill my needs without them so far…
Now it works, thx!
I retyped everything (didn’t see a difference though) and instead of using Komodo Edit on Windows as my code editor I used nano on the Pi directly. Coffee script seems to be very picky
One problem remaining:
The ohmeter widget doesn’t update automatically at all…
That is one of the widgets that I had not tried out myself. Having had a very quick look at the widget just now, I can see that it isn’t properly defined for openHAB. As a minimum, we need to change the accessor ‘value’ to ‘state’ as that is the openHAB item property that is being sent. There may be other small tidy-ups necessary. If I get time, I’ll have a look in the next day or so.
Update: Have a look at the latest update to the widget on git. This seems to be updating correctly now.
I’m not using the wifi capabilities, just have it connected to my LAN, and then send telnet commands to it from my dashboard via some simple uni-directional widgets. With it, i’m able to control my SamsungTV (newer model), Verizon FiOS STB and Martin Logan soundbar (volume only). It was a huge pain to set up, but works flawlessly now, so I just need to get around to designing a nice UI for it.
sorry, by chrome web app, i just meant a mobile web app, same the current dashboard.
@Lockzi,
It may be easier to write it in Python (or other scripting language) since the source material (.sitemap) isn’t natively in XML. XLST could be coaxed into doing it but you’d be working uphill.
I want to change the icon for some switches from the standard circle to an icon of what they switch e.g. TV, sound system… awesomefonts icons are Great
Do I have to clone the ohswitch widget for each icon then rename and edit it separately?
Or is it possible to define the icon name in the html file, if so – how would I do that?
The above example replaces the normal circle of the switch widget with a right arrow. The arrow then changes colour in the normal way to represent on/off states.
Hello, I am new to OpenHAB. First of all thanks to the community for the useful hints and the very good knowledgebase.
I have completely switched my home automation system from Indigodomo (OS X Yosemite) to OpenHAB (Rasperry Pi 2, Wheezy) during the last two weeks with Dashboard UI as the main interface to OpenHAB:
Thanks to smar for adapting this wonderful peace of software. I want to give back a little modification to the community, the Ohthermostat widget. I am using Homematic HM-CC-RT-DN radiator thermostats (with homegear/homematic binding) for heating. For this setting the Ohthermostat-widget, a modified Ohdimmer/Ohvolume-widget, lets you easy set the heating setpoint in a range from 4.5 (“Off”) to 25 deg C.
Example items definition in OpenHAB:
Number HK_Soll “Temperatur Soll [%.1f °C]” (gDashboard) homematic=“address=#######,channel=4,parameter=SET_TEMPERATURE”}
Example definition in *.erb:
…data-id=“HK_Soll” data-view=“Ohthermostat” data-title=“Solltemperatur” data-device=“HK_Soll”
…

It is recommended to upgrade the “Font Awesome”-font in /path/to/dashboard/assets/fonts/ to the newest version.
The second modified widget is Ohwind, based on Ohtemp. It displays the value of wind speed from an Oregon Scientific anemometer using RFXCOM-binding in rounded km/h.
Been fighting with this tonight, I can get dashing talking to Openhab, but the widgets will not update in realtime, I have to manually refresh the page to reflect changes…the items are in the gDashboard group…I am publishing MQTT to Mosquitto and using the MQTT addon in OpenHAB… items are updating fine on my sitemaps…any ideas?
Check that the dashboard rule is being triggered properly. You can use logInfo lines in the rule to see make sure that everything is being sent correctly. If this is ok, then try using curl to manually push a state to the dashboard. This will confirm whether or not your dashing rest api is accessible.
