[SOLVED] Installing homie binding via configuration files

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation

Hello!
I’m running OpenHAB 2.5.3 via docker (openhab/openhab:2.5.3-amd64-debian). I’m attempting to install the homie binding via configuration files. According to the documentation I should be able to locate the binding’s name via the console. However nothing is found named homie…

openhab> feature:list | grep homie                                                                                                                                    
openhab>

As an alternative, I should be able to discover the name via the URL used in the binding documentation, i.e. https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/mqtt.homie/. But using mqtt.homie is not found when openhab starts up. Also tried just plain homie without any luck.

Help. :pleading_face:

Thanks,

Oops, looks like I posted too soon; found a post that referenced the homie binding is a subset of the MQTT binding…

I’ll look at making a PR for the docs to make sure those that find the homie binding by way of Google realize this is a subset.
