Issue of the topic: please be detailed explaining your issue
So I have decided to give OpenHab a try and am liking it so for, but setting up some of my gadgets has not been successful.
(Also German documentation was making life difficult for me).
I am so far only using the GUI, but I do not mind to text things out, but my understanding is OH2 main focus is GUI based.
Ikea Tradfri - I could bind the gateway and all my lights, but not my groups.
I am not sure if Ikea groups are supported or not.
I do not mind to create a “dummy” switch as a group, but not sure about that.
Example Light1 and Lights2 are ikea lights as scanned by Openhab, but I would an LightsIkeaAll switch for all of them.
Max via CUL
I would like to recreate my odd setup from FHEM.
I have Max! Thermostats working via a MaxCube (done successfully).
I have Max! Eco Button, that I would like to connect to my CUL868MHz - that way I can use the button as a generic button.
But I have not succeeded to get my CUL868MHz to work.
Intertechno - I have a number of IT devices for which I had a CUL433 - again, unable to get working.
I cannot find how to set this up.
I tried editing the intertechnocul.cfg but no success.
I’m using a CUL-Stick for intertechno on OH2.
How does your culintertechno.cfg look like? You need to define at least the serial device in this file.
How did you define your items regarding the intertechno binding?
Please post your relevant start-up logs if something is not working.

Switch Funkstecker "Funkstecker IT Test" (Test) { culintertechno="type=raw;address=01011011001000001011100010;commandOn=010010;commandOff=000010" }
I copied the address from FHEM: define socket5_switch IT 01011011001000001011100010 0 0000
For those switches I would have used the same setting(according this site).
Does the CUL-Stick work in the first place? Check the logs after rising the log-level to debug for the binding!
That is the site I used to set mine up. I do not understand perfectly due to my low German skill.
But the example in that site is similar to mine:
Dabei kann man die 26-Bit Adresse frei wählen, so dass Kollisionen mit Nachbarn sehr unwahrscheinlich werden. Einen GRR-3500 der über einen CUL gesteuert werden soll definiert man z.B. so
define sw_it_outdoor IT 01010101010101010101010101 0 0000
Fortunately / Unfortunately, FHEM detects the code by itself (after 3 or 5 key presses it notices the repeating pattern).
