My experience with OH after 3 months (for those who still hesitate and don't know where to start from)

Mmh, not that I know of. The Jenkins job converts all OH2 addons to be OH3-compatible, there are some problems with Z-Wave and Zigbee at the moment and I think the nest binding was disabled for a while, but every other binding is the current version in the OH3 snapshots.

Thanks.

I know the database of supported devices is part of the zwave binding, hence my concern.

@ysc They look old to me…

At least Zigbee binding has been removed temporary from openHAB 3.0 distro, see

Exactly, when I tried out homeassistant the quality and content of the documentation was a fraction of the openhab documentation. I was puzzled how anybody could get anything to work.
The openhab documentation is indeed great!

That’s a very good idea, we could work on some Wiki topics here on the forum, for the specific purpose of coming up with a good new user tutorial as a community, since the barrier to entry is lower here than on GitHub, then once it’s in a good shape we can migrate it to the docs - it’s Markdown in both cases after all so it should work. I’ll start some wikis in the UI category in the next few days.

I’ve created a number of pages in the docs (1.x to 2.0 Migration tutorial, Ephemeris documentation, etc.) using just this approach. It works out well, though very few users will actually edit the OP even though it’s a wiki which is frustrating.

Yeah I’ve noticed the same with the topics I made, maybe because the prose was already “good enough” so people think they would overstep if they dare edit it, perhaps if it’s clear that it’s not final (i.e. bullet points only to be expanded into real sentences) it could get more contributions, I don’t know.
