Working on a User Interface idea that involves OpenHab, and wanted to poll other users to gauge what they use OH for. So basically:
What devices do you control/monitor/automate through OpenHab? (Doesn’t need to be exact makes or models, just lamp, thermostat etc is sufficient)
Roughly how many OpenHab items do you have in total? And are these in 1 .items file, or across several?

What about creating a poll?

1.)
lights
garage door openers
door sensors
hvac
presence through network and bluetooth
Smoke/CO Alarms
However almost none of it is controlled through a screen based UI. The lights come on or off based on rules and can be overridden through the physical switch. I use a zwave Minimote to control the garage door openers. The HVAC is based on who is home and inside/outside temps. I pretty much only use the screen based UI for debugging purposes.
2.) Around 100 split across eight .items files.
Lights (Hue Iris, Main lights)
Alarm system
Sockets (TV, Coffeee machines, Heated Blanket, Lamps)
Thermostats
Fire alarm
Sensors (Energy usage, Outside light, greenhouse temp, greenhouse reservoir level, alarm sensors - doors, pirs etc, house temp)
AV System
Plex
Door bell
I also have a few virtual items that are controlled by rules:
Find my iDevice
Bin times (pulled from council website)
Weather
Must be around 100, and across maybe 7 .items files.
