Hi,
I am currently working on a WebThing binding for the upcoming OpenHAB 3. Unfortunately, there seems to be no progress on the OpenHAB 2 based WebThing binding mentioned here: Mozilla WebThings Binding . For this reason, I started a new implementation from scratch for the upcoming openHab 3.
The WebThing binding supports an interface to remote devices implementing the Web Thing API. The Web Thing API is a quite new API specified by the W3C Consortium (draft). Essentially, a Web Thing API is a RESTful interface including WebSockets support to provide real-time notifications of events as soon as they happen.
You can find a precompiled version here: https://github.com/grro/openhab-addons/raw/main/bundles/org.openhab.binding.webthing/prebuild/org.openhab.binding.webthing-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar (just put the jar file into the addons dir).
The binding is feature complete. Unfortunately, the new User interface of OpenHAB 3 milestone1 build seems not to recognize the channel auto-created by the binding. However, manually configured items definitions work as shown in my documentation https://github.com/grro/openhab-addons/tree/main/bundles/org.openhab.binding.webthing
Feedback is very welcome

Hi, Thanks for testing. Which version of Openhab did you use? I have tested the impl with OpenHAB 3 /Milestone1

I have installed build #1993 in my env and it works. I suspect that this has to do with the webthing configuration (webThingURI)

The issue not displaying the channels auto-created by the binding within the UI is fixed meanwhile. This was a bug in the WebThing binding.
Please find the updated version here: https://github.com/grro/openhab-addons/raw/main/bundles/org.openhab.binding.webthing/prebuild/org.openhab.binding.webthing-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
