I am a happy user of openHAB since version 1.x and have repeatedly performed fresh installations from scratch. In addition to backing up the configuration, which often is excellent, I wonder if there is a way to export a status report of the current installation? I am thinking of a report that lists items by name, which addons are installed, maybe the names of created rules, etc. This would serve as a quick reference and an overview of previous installations. It can be helpful when starting a new installation and also as a summary of what is included in each backup (in case I want to revert to an older backup and am unsure of what it contains).
Thank you, that was helpful.
Unless I am missing something, is there anywhere a list of created items (including the names) and a list of created rules (names)?
You can use the karaf console to get a list of items, things, rules, …
The API explorer / REST API offers similar functionality.
E.g. karaf console:
openhab:automation listRules
