Raspberry pi

[Muhammed_Cinar19 (Muhammed Cinar)]

Hi, do I need to use raspberry pi or can I also use something else?

And does the PI version matter (I have a Raspberry pi 2)?

Have a look at the documentation: https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/rasppi.html

do I need to use raspberry pi

Check the entry page of the openHAB project:

Runs Everywhere

Run your server on Linux, macOS, Windows, Raspberry Pi, PINE64, Docker, Synology… Access it with apps for the web, iOS, Android and others.

Yes… and the reccomended platform is… whatever you are most comfortable with
give it a try with whatever you have lying around

whatever you have lying around

That’s my favourite advice to anyone.
