Absolute beginner: I am trying to get a minimal configuration of OpenHAB 1.8.3 talking to an HAI Omnilink system. I can run OpenHab and I have one item (a dimmer switch) defined in the .items file but how can I test it? Is there a CLI command? I tried using the generateitems feature of the omnilink binding but it fails with:
