OpenHab 2 Homekit on iOS Device

[ewok21 (mike bender)]

Hi Community

I am new on openhab and setup a OH2 on a RP2 with openhabian.
I have add my hue lightingsystem to OH2 without any problems.
Next i have install the homekit binding and configure it.
This is my homekit.items

Switch	hue01_power	        "Hue Wand"                 ["Lighting"]	     { channel="hue:0210:00178828a92e:1:color" }
Dimmer  hue01_dimmer		"Hue Wand Dimmer"          ["Lighting"]      { channel="hue:0210:00178828a92e:1:color" }
Color 	hue01_farbe	        "Hue Wand Farbe"           ["Lighting"]      { channel="hue:0210:00178828a92e:1:color" } 
Dimmer 	hue01_farbtemp	        "Hue Wand FarbTemp"        ["Lighting"]      { channel="hue:0210:00178828a92e:1:color_temperature" }

After pairing my ios device with openhab i can see 4 items like hue01_power, hue01_dimmer, hue01_farbe, hue01_farbetemp.

Need i to group items before or what is the best way to have 1 item in ios to controll power, color and brightness?

Search for “HSBType” in this forum and you will find your answer.

Also this tutorial is very helpful:

Example: Convert Color Item Values To RGB (With Explanation)

Because there are regular questions on how to read the Color Items’ values as 24-bit RGB ranging from 0-255 I just wrote this little explanation how and why it works. (Or at least one of the many ways) Let’s say you have a Color item named aacc_color. With this rule you can read out the R, G and B values from it: rule "get RGB Colors from ColorItem" when Item aacc_color received command then val red = (receivedCommand as HSBType).red * 2.55 val green = (receivedCommand as HSBType).gr…

Good luck.

just define the color item with [“Lighting”]
