Seen a few IoT custom highly-techy geeks putting systems like this together, and was wondering if someone has done something similar with OpenHAB? I come to the front door, and house says “Good (morning/afternoon/evening) xyz… weather is forecast to be good for the rest of the day and I must advise…

as well it’s utopistics idea. everyone is different every house is different and even your needs differs time to time … so automate things in certain way may not be that great idea when you have different needs on same pattern. I think automation should help to do recurring things and/or helping…

All in one is down to plugins… the more plugins the more ‘all in one’… it already has that flexibility… its just missing that ‘logical’ user-friendly saving/loading templates UI feature… for now its copy-paste, go into files here and there and edit away… and even that has become less and less with …

OH bindings provides connection between different technologies across whole IOT industry What you mean if Iam getting it properly is to have plugins inside OH which will provide functionalities inside OH to do stuff which is meant to be done on the devices itself. But maybe I’m just misunderstandi…

[opera_YyMHQqtA2k] The clue is in the front page of the official website. :heart_eyes:

Correct OH provides the flexible, sometimes complex tools for YOU to do what you imagine without getting in your way. OH does not claim to be an all in one solution nor does it claim to be user friendly. It is up to you to be creative and determine whether your vision is worth the effort to impleme…

Would be quite nice to have my house to identify and speak to me as I approach the front door?
