So, if you don’t want to wait for the updates to the app, you can do this using OH’s REST API from tasker. That is how I control my garage door opener. Here is an experimental task I shared awhile back showing how to do this.
The description tells you what variables you need to set up to use it.
NOTE: The URL will only work if opened from an Android device. If you want it to work when your phone is not on your LAN, use myopenhab.org for the URL.
There is more discussion and ideas in
- Tasker with myopenHAB.org (Screenshots for tasker)
- Triggering Items Using openHAB 2's REST API from Tasker
- sadly, I can’t find the thread where I first shared the link above and got some experimentation help from @vzorglub.
It will be a lot better to have real integration but we don’t have to wait. Just note that there can be a noticeable delay, particularly when going through myopenhab.org.
