currently my focus is the UI7 of the Vera. I have created a ‘house.items’ file and placed it in the /etc/openhab2/items folder but I don’t know where to turn next…
I am probably confusing here but how to I create an entity in ‘Bindings’ and ‘Things’ in the UI. If I am able to as I understand that OH1 was quite different from OH2.
For the IPX, my version is the IPX800v4. The docs are here:
but again how to integrate with OH2??
Virtually I would like to see my devices with control in the Dashboard.
No Things, no channels for legacy OH1 bindings.
It follows that you make the link between OH Items and the binding directly in the Item definitions in xx.items files, by editing text.
Items defined that way can be used in rules and sitemaps in the usual way.
Items defined that way are not editable by the PaperUI tool, but you can see them if you turn on Advanced Mode
The binding itself may need some configuring. In OH1 there was one big openhab.cfg file for that purpose, but instead in OH2 you have separate xxx.cfg files for each OH1 binding that needs one example ipx800.cfg
