Is OpenHab Dying?

OH is too much for me, I understand Javascript
…better mostly because I understand how to do it in JavaScript but have no idea how I would get that into OH.

If you can handle JavaScript better, then write your rules for openHAB in Javascript:

Migrating DSL Rules to JSR223/Javascript with a case example

Porting the Time of Day rule as a case example Hi all, Since i am currently trying to move my rules to a jsr223 based system, i would like to share my experience with you with a simple usecase which hopefully helps some of you with their own setup. Maybe you are in the same situation like me. You have a running openHAB setup and more or less rules which have grown and evolved during the time that your setup exists. You already have read about JSR223 and its benefits/downsides and are interes…

Browse a bit here, if it suits you: openhab2-javascript/SimpleRuleExamples.js at smarthome-To-openhab.core · lewie/openhab2-javascript · GitHub

There isn’t much documentation yet, but if you know JavaScript you’ll be fine. If you have any questions please contact us here.

To 1) There you must already become more concrete. Doesn’t Insteon PLM - Bindings | openHAB work correctly?

To 2) A system only seems complicated as long as you don’t know too many answers yet… As I said, maybe the freedom to use JavaScript already helps you?

There are always arguments for or against it. But even with a change you will encounter limits, other limits, which you were not so aware that they exist. I mean, try to address the problems first and then solve them one by one. Go into the depth, we help with all problems.

Why should you have to rewrite your existing DSL rules? Absolutely not! DSL will be around for a long time to come. Even if it can be that they will be announced sometime, the time will be very long until DSL Rules will stop to run in openHAB.

New ones you can write e.g. with JS. And rules that have to be changed can be rewritten in JS.
