I have bunch of rules in a .rules file. I want this file while creating rules via rest api. Is there any tool for that?

Can i create rules via the REST-API?

Hi i just recently started playing with openhab2 and one thing that i’m missing is an easy way to do scenes. So i was looking into creating a little web-app to help with that.

Python or other language REST API

Hi all, I have been experimenting with the python REST API https://pypi.org/project/python-openhab/ and it seems to be working well for basic commands and what I want it to do.

Possibly even if anyone has had a better experience using the REST API with a different language other than python? Thanks

Based on the first one I would suggest to create a rule manually via the UI and compare the parameter that you havein the code explorer via the code in your rule.
