Hello guys I will throw my few cents in here. This is a situation I am currently going through. I am new to OpenHab2 and from a new user stand point it is very difficult to sort out what will and wont work with OpenHab2
I ordered a WIFI Switch and it appears that this will not work with OpenHAB. I have also ordered a RGB wifi controller and I’m guessing this also might not work with openhab.
You have a huge user base why not pull from them to develop what is native (Plug & Play) and Modified (re-Programed / Requires additional hardware) And Heavy Modified (Hacked / Re-Flashed) I think that if you break the hardware down by Systems / Usability that would help to sort it down. You can also list the major Players and then refer to the bindings for additional info at the point like Nest, Zwave, Zigbee.
So here would be a example of the break downs:
Devices:
Audio:
Music Players
Speakers
Distribution
Amplification
Power/Lighting
Lighting Switches
Power Outlets
LED Controllers
RGB Lighting Controllers
DMX Controllers
HVAC Controlers
HVAC CONTROL
SECURITY
IP Security Cameras
Wireless Lock Systems
Motion Sensors
Contact Sensors
Video Control
TV Integration
Media Servers
Projectors Control
Screen Control
And so on! Then under these groups would list hardware that your users have gotten to work. Ideally a link to buy them would be great too. Share the knowledge of what others have struggled with to find hardware that works!.
