MQTT - Paper UI - Incoming Value Transformation

[hafniumzinc (T)]

Well done on getting it setup!

@TBM

I am using the cc2531 for the bridge, do you know anything about it - is it ok or is there anyting better

I also use a CC2531 flashed with zigbee2mqtt firmware. This post provides a method of monitoring the CC2531 and controlling a couple of zigbee2mqtt items from within openHAB.

@TBM

thinking about the number of devices that will be able to connect

I only have a few devices connected. I understand from other recent posts in this forum that the CC2531 may struggle with a lot (25+?) of devices: search through this forum, or the zigbee2mqtt pages.

@TBM

I might be using some Z-Wave devices, have you tried that?

I have a Z-Wave thermostat, which is actually my first ever home automation device. I used it for many years with a Vera Lite hub before discovering openHAB! This is now connected to openHAB through the Vera Lite. That’s all to say: I don’t really know anything about Z-Wave with openHAB, other than lots of people use it!

@TBM

I have also startet building up my HAB-panel and making some simple rules.Some of the rules i would like to make, might be a challange for me, do you also have experience with this?

Yes, but it’s usually best to have a go yourself using the documentation available (and examples in this forum), then start a new post in this forum if you have issues!

(One thing to bear in mind: many of the old MQTT examples in this forum are for the V1 version of the MQTT binding. You are using the V2 version. If you see any examples where an Item has { mqtt=".... instead of { channel="... then it’s a V1 binding example!)
