@wimu: Habpanel is just an interface and it works lovely with the nikobus binding. i created a HABpanel for using on a wall mount low budget tablet. I can control my Nikobus, yamaha AV, Squeezebox players, Vera connected alarm system,… Works great. ony thing I’m missing in HABpanel is a florplan view/interaction possibility like habmin.
Keep in mindo for Nikobus binding to work best, you read the status from the channels of a schakelmodule, but you better give commands to a drukknop (configured on nikobus schakelmodule to control a light) instead of giving the command to a schakelmodule channel (gives a lot of difficult to troubleshoot issues in rules,…)
Example below in my items file:
// schakelmodule kanaal
Switch LPgarage “Licht Garage” (Schakelmodule) { nikobus=“ABCD:1” }
// drukknop die dit kanaal aan en uit doet
Switch BP_keuken_garage_aan “Schakelaar garageverlichting” (BP) { nikobus=“#NA9WXYZ[ABCD-1]” }
Switch BP_keuken_garage_uit “Schakelaar garageverlichting” (BP) { nikobus=“#NEWXYZ[ABCD-1]” }
In rules stuur ik OFF / ON commands enkel naar de BP-items en lees ik de status van de overeenkomstige LP-item (en dat werkt prima)
I do not use openHABian. I use MAX2play and install on that image mosquitto, java, and openhab2. In that way the RPI also serves as a multiroom music server/player (squeezebox/DLNA)
Installing Openhab2 natively is a piece of cake (A single distro from now on!) when using
sudo apt-get install openhab2 openhab2-addons openhab2-addons-legacy
