-
-
-
-
-There are many home automation solutions and Internet-of-Things (IoT) gadgets on the market, which are all useful on their own. They come with their own way on how to setup and configure devices and are perfect for their intended use cases.
-
-The problem with all of these systems and devices is that these use cases are defined by the manufacturer - but as a user, you will quickly come up with wishes that are not supported out of the box or which require interaction between the different systems. openHAB fills this gap: It puts the user in the focus and allows him to do what he wants to do. It thus serves as an integration point for all your home automation needs and lets systems talk to each other across any vendor or protocol boundaries.
-
-From our point of view, a commercial product can never stay up to date with all interesting things that can be integrated. So the only way to be sure that you do not bet on a dead horse is by using an open source solution that is maintained by a big community and which does not depend on the fate of a single company. openHAB is hence the best choice for a future-proof Smart Home setup.
-
-Considering the user perspective also means caring for data privacy. With openHAB, all data (like sensor data or actuator commands) belongs to the user and it is up to him to decide, what data should potentially leave his house and where it is sent. Furthermore, there is no remote access possible, if it is not desired - everything works nicely within the intranet and does not even require an Internet connection. We therefore also like to call it the "Intranet of Things".
-
-
-
-### Some Hacking Skills Required
-
-openHAB is highly flexible and customizable, but this comes at a cost. You have to invest some time for learning its concepts and to set up an individual system tailored to your needs. Many parts of the setup require textual configuration, potentially accessing log files for debugging, etc. Therefore setting up openHAB is mainly a job for tech-savvy people - it is not a commercial off-the-shelf product that you plug in and that is ready to go.
-
-Nonetheless, this only applies to the setup and configuration of the system, which is usually done by a single person in the household, while all other family members are merely using the system. And here is where openHAB shines: It is very stable, has apps for all different end devices, allows voice interaction, etc.
-
-
-
-### Architectural Principles
-
-openHAB does not try to replace existing solutions, but rather wants to enhance them - it can thus be considered as a system of systems. It therefore assumes that the sub-systems are setup and configured independently of openHAB as this is often a very specific and complex matter (including "pairing" processes, direct device links etc.). Instead, openHAB focuses on the "daily use" side of things and abstracts from the devices themselves.
-
-A core concept for openHAB is the notion of an "item". An item is a data-centric functional atomic building block - you can think of it as an "capability". openHAB does not care whether an item (e.g. a temperature value) is related to a physical device or some "virtual" source like a web service or an calculation result. All features offered by openHAB are using this "item" abstraction, which means that you will not find any reference to device specific things (like IP addresses, IDs etc.) in automation rules, UI definitions and so on. This makes it perfectly easy to replace one technology by another without doing any changes to rules and UIs.
-
-A very important aspect of openHAB's architecture is its modular design. It is very easy to add new features (like the integration with yet another system through a "binding") and you can add and remove such features at runtime. This modular approach has been a huge enabler for the active community around openHAB with many engaged contributors.
-
-
-
-### Further Reading
-
-Please see our [documentation](/docs/concepts/index.html) for further details about the concepts of openHAB, its features and possibilities.
-
-
-
-
-We want to keep the openHAB community awesome, growing and collaborative.
-We need your help to keep it that way.
-To help with this we've come up with some general guidelines for the community as a whole:
-
-* **Be nice:** Be courteous, respectful and polite to fellow community members: no
- regional, racial, gender, or other abuse will be tolerated. We like nice people
- way better than mean ones!
-
-* **Encourage diversity and participation:** Make everyone in our community
- feel welcome, regardless of their background and the extent of their
- contributions, and do everything possible to encourage participation in
- our community.
-
-* **Keep it legal:** Basically, don't get us in trouble. Share only content that
- you own, do not share private or sensitive information, and don't break the
- law.
-
-* **Stay on topic:** Make sure that you are posting to the correct channel
- and avoid off-topic discussions. Remember when you update an issue or
- respond to an email you are potentially sending to a large number of
- people. Please consider this before you update. Also remember that
- nobody likes spam.

-Commit activity on Eclipse SmartHome
-
-This activity resulted in [337 merged pull requests](https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/issues?q=milestone%3A0.8.0.b5) since the beta2 in January, which makes Eclipse SmartHome one of the most active projects in the [Eclipse IoT](http://iot.eclipse.org/) space.
-
-Besides many small improvements and evolution of the binding APIs, a lot of work went into the Paper UI through which it is now possible to configure bindings and services as an alternative to the textual configuration files.
-
-
-
-System configuration through the Paper UI
-
-Other features are a fully re-implemented [LIFX binding](http://docs.openhab.org/features/bindings/lifx/readme.html), which now requires less system resources, an update Philips hue binding, which now also supports alarm and color cycle options as well as a greatly enhanced [Sonos binding](http://docs.openhab.org/features/bindings/sonos/readme.html), which can now handle speaker groups, play notifications and many more things.
-
-Two bindings that have by far the largest user base have been ported to openHAB 2 and now fully support discovery of devices, which is very useful in both cases, which are Z-Wave ad Homematic. Z-Wave supports a huge list of devices already and Chris is doing a phantastic job to maintain them in a dedicated [device database](http://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list). For Homematic, this is not even necessary since the binding directly queries the Homematic CCU2 for the device meta-data and builds the openHAB-internal representation dynamically at runtime.
-
-Last but not least, I would like to mention the [digitalSTROM binding](http://docs.openhab.org/features/bindings/digitalstrom/readme.html) - this has been developed by the [FH Köln](http://www.software-quality.fh-koeln.de/iemwiki/index.php/Hauptseite) and is by far the largest contribution in terms of lines of code and complexity of the integrated system.
-
-
-
-digitalSTROM actuators
-
-My favorite new additions are no bindings though - they are the native [integration with HomeKit](http://docs.openhab.org/features/io/homekit/readme.html) as well as with [Amazon Echo by emulating a hue bridge](http://docs.openhab.org/features/io/hueemulation/readme.html). In the past people were using additional software like the ha-bridge or the openhab-homekit-bridge. Now this is fully integrated into openHAB and you can easily use Siri or Alexa for accessing anything that is connected to your openHAB installation.
-
-
-
-Amazon Echo now works with openHAB
-
-The last good news about the beta3 release is that it is included in the SD card image that I have prepared for the [PINE64](http://www.pine64.com/). The PINE64 IoT package will be sent out to the backers starting later this week and it will directly ship with openHAB 2.0 pre-installed. For all other PINE64 users, who just ordered the board (most have already received it), the image will also be made available for download, so that you can flash yourself an SD card - it has never been easier to start with openHAB!

-
-Since the inception of the idea to start a nonprofit organization around openHAB, some time has passed and we have been working intensively on making it happen!
-
-Today, I am very proud to be able to announce that the openHAB Foundation e.V. is up and running and has successfully taken over all sorts of supportive operation for the community.
-
-
-
-Here's a brief overview of what the foundation does for you:
-
-## From Source to Binary
-
-Ever had to build applications from source code yourself? We are making sure that binaries are built for the latest sources as well as for releases and that they are easily accessible for everyone.
-For this, we maintain and monitor the build infrastructure. And to give you an idea of how openHAB looks and feels like before you even get started, we are hosting a public demo instance.
-
- 
-
- The builds are executed on a Jenkins instance on Cloudbees. We have monitoring setup to be immediately informed about broken builds through a slack channel.
-
-
- We use the services of Bintray to host our binaries for download. This not only comprises the final distribution zips, but also the Debian packages and dependencies required during the build.
-
-
- This is a real openHAB instance with the demo package deployed on it. Great for testing the user interfaces and the REST API online, but obviously no real devices are connected to it.
-
-
- The forum is the central place to get support, help others, get in touch with the community, share ideas and be notified about relevant news around openHAB.
-
-
- myopenHAB is a publicly available instance of the new openHAB Cloud. It provides remote access, smartphone notifications, IFTTT integration and an Amazon Echo skill.
-
-Powerful hardware options for openHAB
-
-Constrained hardware resources are therefore merely still an issue for commercial platforms. Besides the free openHAB, there are other solutions being built on Eclipse SmartHome, like e.g. [QIVICON](https://www.qivicon.com/en/) of Deutsche Telekom. The shrinked core framework of Eclipse SmartHome proves its worth on such solutions. As a demonstrator, there is a [sample solution packaging](https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome-packaging-sample) available, which uses [Eclipse Concierge](https://www.eclipse.org/concierge/) as a low-footprint OSGi framework and only has an overall size of only 20MB and which requires less then 128MB Java heap.
-
-### Usability Improvements
-
-Usability has been addressed on many different levels and version 2.0 only marks the beginning of these efforts, upcoming versions 2.x will continue on this path.
-
-#### Setup Through a User Interface
-
-All newly introduced APIs and features are designed in a way that they enable setup and configuration through user interfaces.
-
- - After a first start, the user can choose an initial installation package to start with. These packages define common sets of functionality for different user types. Additional add-ons can be installed at any time through the UI by a single click.
- - A major feature of all newly introduced bindings is the device discovery, i.e. the bindings will scan themselves the network/system for supported devices and offer them to the user. This heavily simplifies the integration of devices in openHAB.
- - A new rule engine has been created, which allows building simple rules through a UI, similar to IFTTT, but with the big difference that no cloud connection is required as everything is executed locally.
- - A [new UI called HABPanel](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/uis/habpanel/readme.html) has been introduced, which provides flexible dashboards for tablets, which can be created and modified fully UI-driven. HABPanel is specifically well-suited for wall-mounted displays.
-
-
-
-Usability Improvements: Initial Setup - Discovery - Rule Editor - HABPanel
-
-These features together allow for the first time [a purely UI-driven setup of openHAB](https://youtu.be/T0kzK2voy94?list=PLGlxCdrGUagyDLSdoOUAmwsf4RD7URP4u) - but it must be said that this only covers a small fraction of the capabilities of openHAB. A core strength of openHAB is its flexibility and the possibility to cover all kinds of special - sometimes really weird - individual use cases. To do so, the textual configuration, as known from openHAB 1, is still required and recommended.
-
-#### 1.x Compatibility
-
-While these new features for beginners have been introduced, a focus has also been to have as little disruption for existing openHAB users as possible and to keep and even extend the textual configuration options. No one is forced to use UIs in future, they should be merely seen as an optional alternative. Most functionality of openHAB 1 has therefore be retained and only minor changes need to be done to the personal configurations and rules. Specifically, most openHAB 1.9 add-ons can be used as openHAB 2 as it has a built-in compatibility layer.
-
-#### Installation
-
-A major obstacle in the past for many users was also the required setup around openHAB, e.g. installing Linux on the Raspberry Pi, configuring users, shares, ssh, etc.
-This is all much simpler now through [openHABian](http://docs.openhab.org/installation/openhabian.html) - a self-configuring Raspberry Pi setup, which starts off from a minimal SD card image. It automatically installs Java, openHAB, Samba and more and optionally even KNXd, Homegear, Mosquitto and others. This is definitely the best choice for Raspberry Pi users!
-
-## Feature Overview
-
-So what is new in general in openHAB 2? Let me give you a rough overview:
-
-#### Bindings
-
-openHAB 2 comes with 130 bindings for different devices, technologies or protocols. 57 of them are using the new 2.0 APIs, so that they support discovery and graphical configuration. The rest are bindings from openHAB 1, which are included in the 2.0 distribution.
-
-Many of these bindings support technologies, which are not supported by openHAB 1. There are e.g. bindings for [AllPlay](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/allplay/readme.html), [Miele@home](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/miele/readme.html), [Minecraft](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/minecraft/readme.html), [Russound](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/russound/readme.html), [Z-Way](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/zway/readme.html) and even [Tesla](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/tesla/readme.html), just to name a few.
-
-
-
-Some sample products & technologies that are supported by openHAB 2
-
-Many other are currently under development or queued for review, so we can expect to reach 200 bindings by the end of this year.
-
-#### User Interfaces
-
- - The visually outdated [Classic UI](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/uis/classic/readme.html) (which is still available as an option) has been replaced by the much more modern [Basic UI](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/uis/basic/readme.html).
- - While being an external project for openHAB 1, [HABmin](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/uis/habmin/readme.html) has meanwhile become an official part of the project and is a very powerful administration tool, especially suited for Z-Wave users.
- - The new [Paper UI](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/uis/paper/readme.html) is the main interface for doing UI-driven setup and configuration.
- - [HABPanel](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/uis/habpanel/readme.html) is another new web UI, which specifically focuses on nifty dashboards on tablets.
- - Besides Android and iOS, there is now a [native client for Windows 10 (Mobile)](https://youtu.be/IrUPL33b_jc?list=PLGlxCdrGUagyDLSdoOUAmwsf4RD7URP4u) available in the [official Microsoft App Store](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/openhab/9nmq39ctwxgt).
-
-
-
-New UIs: Basic UI - HABPanel - HABmin - Windows 10 App
-
-### Further Integrations
-
-Besides the bindings, which integrate external system in openHAB, the opposite is possible as well: To include openHAB in an external system:
-
- - A very simple integration in Amazon Echo is possible through the [Hue emulation add-on](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/io/hueemulation/readme.html). This mimics a Philips Hue bridge and can also fool some other 3rd party apps that exist for Philips Hue.
- - The [HomeKit add-on](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/io/homekit/readme.html) makes openHAB appear in iOS as a not-certified device that, once added, allow the use of any hardware from within HomeKit/iOS.
- - IFTTT integration is now offered through the new [myopenHAB](http://www.myopenhab.org/) service that is operated by the [openHAB Foundation](http://www.openhabfoundation.org/).
- - [Text-to-Speech and other audio playback](http://docs.openhab.org/concepts/audio.html) can now be directed to remote devices (such as connected speakers). Already supported are e.g. Sonos speakers, Onkyo receivers, Chromecast and the Kodi media center.
-
-### Distribution Packages
-
-Besides the classic zip archives as well as the APT packages for Linux, there are by now many further alternatives how to get hold of openHAB. (Please note that only openHABian is available from today on, the other types of packaging of the final 2.0 version will follow in the next days):

-On May 20, 2017, the openHAB Foundation organised its first own event, the [Smart Home Day](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/smart-home-day-registrierung-33411227882) in Darmstadt at the local [University of Applied Sciences](https://www.h-da.com/), which was co-located with the first annual assembly of the openHAB Foundation members.
-
-The Smart Home Day was a great get-together of around 50 smart home enthusiasts. For many it was the first time to meet people in person after having known their Github identities for years already and to engage in interesting discussions around open source and smart homes.
-
-
-
-A special thanks to [Christoph Engelbert](https://twitter.com/noctarius) who led through the program as a moderator.
-
-
-
-Prof. Dr. Zahout-Heil and Prof. Dr. Jeromin of the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt
-
-The day started with a warm welcome by the prodekan [Prof. Dr. Carsten Zahout-Heil](https://eit.h-da.de/fachbereich/personen/lehrende/professoren/carsten-zahout-heil/), followed by an inspiring talk from Prof. Dr. Ingo Jeromin about the challenging future of energy supply.
-I followed up on this with my very personal experience about the smart meter rollout in Germany and showed the potentials of openHAB for energy-related use cases.
-
-The afternoon was all around the benefits of open source engagement. While I outlined the general opportunities for companies when investing in open source software, we had several member companies talking about their own motivation for supporting the foundation and contributing to openHAB.
-Even to me this was quite impressive to see how heterogeneous the projects and activities are and it gave valuable insights into the possibilities of openHAB.

-Similar to every year since 2006, [EclipseCon Europe 2017](https://www.eclipsecon.org/europe2017/) took place at the end of October in Ludwigsburg, Germany, and it was packed with great talks and content all around the Eclipse universe.
-
-For the first time, there was also a [Smart Home Day](https://www.eclipsecon.org/europe2017/smarthome) colocated on the Sunday before EclipseCon started.
-The Smart Home Day was hosted by the [openHAB Foundation](https://www.openhabfoundation.org/) with [QIVICON by Deutsche Telekom](https://www.qivicon.com/en/) as a sponsor.
-
-
-
-The day was all about [Eclipse SmartHome](https://www.eclipse.org/smarthome/), its solutions and especially its community.
-There were twelve great presentations over the day and a huge number of core community members attended the day.
-Additionally, live demos and posters about openHAB-related research projects at universities were shown.
-
-The agenda proved to be very attractive: More than a week before the date the event was already fully booked. With more than 90 attendees it was beyond any expectation and the venue had reached its maximum capacity.
-
-
-
-
-#### The Morning
-
-The day started with presentations around Open Source in general, a technical look into the QIVICON platform and the latest updates from the Eclipse SmartHome framework developments. All presentations were recorded (thanks to Markus Storm) and can be viewed by clicking the image (while the talk titles link to the slides):

-
-Half a year has passed since openHAB 2.1 and I am very happy that we still made it before Christmas, so that you have something nice to play with during the holiday season: [openHAB 2.2 is out](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/2.2.0)!
-
-The most obvious change that you will immediately notice is the rollout of our [new openHAB logo](https://community.openhab.org/t/new-logo-for-openhab/35140), which you will now find in all our apps, UIs and websites.
-
-But the functional evolution is of course of much more importance, and a lot has happened in the past months.
-
-While you can find all the details in the [official Release Notes](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/2.2.0), let me highlight a few of those features.
-
-
-
-### New Features for Setup & Configuration
-
-Huge effort went into the user experience when setting up and configuring openHAB:
-
-#### Language Server Protocol (LSP) Support and VS Code Extension
-
-One major step forward is the introduction of [Language Server Protocol (LSP)](https://langserver.org/) support in the core runtime. This allows text editors to remotely connect and do syntax validation and content assist on our configuration files, which is specifically useful when writing rules. Since these were the main features of the former Eclipse RCP-based "openHAB Designer", this tool has been discontinued and the [VS Code Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=openhab.openhab) becomes its official successor.
-
-
-
-Visual Studio Code Extension for openHAB
-
-Besides the "usual" features like code highlighting, syntax validation and content assist, the openHAB VS Code Extension uses the connection to the openHAB server to provide many more great features like browsing through the available items & things, showing live previews of sitemaps and many more - you should definitely check it out!
-
-#### Home Builder
-
-Another new tool for getting started is the [Home Builder](http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/homebuilder.html), which let's you easily define the whole structure of your home (floors, rooms, objects) and then creates the according item and sitemap files by the click of a button. No tedious typing or copying&pasting necessary anymore - and the risk of typos is gone! The Home Builder is automatically installed when the "Standard" installation package is chosen, all others can install it as an optional add-on.
-
-
-
-The new Home Builder generates configuration files to start from
-
-#### openHABian
-
-Talking about an easy start with openHAB, I clearly have to mention [openHABian](http://docs.openhab.org/installation/openhabian.html), which has just been released in parallel: [openHABian 1.4](https://community.openhab.org/t/openhabian-v1-4-released/37398) is available for all Raspberry Pi models from 0W to 3 as well as for the [PINE A64](https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=1194). Its setup is smoother than ever and it by now includes an abundance of options to install next to openHAB, like Node-RED, KNXd, Grafana and FIND, just to name a few. It now also includes those directly in the openHAB dashboard, so that all of them are easily accessible from a single place.
-
-
-
-Populated dashboard in openHABian
-
-### New Device Integrations
-
-Of course there are again [news on the binding side](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/2.2.0#addons) as well. Some bindings like [DMX](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/dmx/readme.html), [Nest](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/nest/readme.html) and [Plugwise](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/plugwise/readme.html) existed before, but they are now fully rewritten and support openHAB 2 features like discovery and UI-driven configuration.
-Other bindings are completely new like e.g. the (specifically in Austria) very popular [Loxone](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/loxone/readme.html) system or the [webOS-based LG TV](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/lgwebos/readme.html) support. All Apple users might find the new [iCloud binding](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/icloud/readme.html) very useful as it provides a very simple way to do location tracking of people (or rather their devices) and through which you can also trigger "find my iPhone" in case you forgot where you have put your mobile.
-
-
-
-Location tracking through the iCloud Binding
-
-The release notes furthermore contain a [detailed list of all noteworthy enhancements and fixes](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/2.2.0#addons) that have been done on the existing add-ons.
-
-### ... and more
-
-Last but not least I should mention that we also have updates for the [iOS app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/openhab/id492054521?mt=8) and the [Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.openhab.habdroid) available in the app stores - especially the Android app has evolved a lot and it is awesome to see many new contributors being involved in it - check out all the new features and fixes in [its release notes](https://github.com/openhab/openhab.android/releases/tag/2.0.0).
-
-For the 2.2 release, we plan to come up with 2.2.x updates, which can potentially fix critical issues that are found, but which will more importantly add further bindings that are going to be merged during the next weeks. Our aim is to make the time that it takes for a new binding to become available to our release users much shorter than it is today. So stay tuned for further news on this!
-
-I hope that you like all those updates and I really think that openHAB becomes much better with every release. This wouldn't be possible without its great community. So let me end my annoucement by thanking all contributors that drive the project forward - be it through code contributions, work on the documentation or simply by reporting bugs and involving themselves in discussions. Merry christmas to all of you!

-Time flies! The last openHAB release is already more than 5 months old and much has happened since then. It is therefore clearly time to pack and ship all the nice new updates as a stable release: Here comes [openHAB 2.3](/download/)!
-
-
-
-All details about the included features and fixes are listed in the [official Release Notes](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/2.3.0), but please allow me to point you to some of my personal highlights:
-
-## Localisation
-
-A lot of effort went into translation work during the past months: Not only the openHAB dashboard, but also HABPanel and the Android app have been translated into many languages by community members all over the world. We are using the [Crowdin service](https://crowdin.com/projects?q=openhab) for this, which makes it really easy for people to contribute - it is a perfect start for actively participating in the community!
-
-
-
-Languages covered by HABPanel
-
-## Units of Measurement
-
-Another great feature that makes it much easier to use openHAB all over the world is the new support for units on numbers. This make it now possible to e.g. use imperial units even if your sensors deliver values in the metric system. You can thus have all your temperatures shown as `°F`, completely independently from the hardware you are using - the conversion is automatically done by the framework. This not only works for simple conversions like `°C` to `°F`, but also for `hPa` to `inHg` or similar things. Likewise, you can even decide to have different representations within your own measurement system. So while your sensor might deliver data in `m/s`, you can simply define that this is shown as `km/h` in your user interface.
-
-
-
-
-The real power of the unit support can be seen when being used within rules: Calculations can now be done unit-safe, thus [unit disasters](http://mentalfloss.com/article/25845/quick-6-six-unit-conversion-disasters) can be avoided. Even if you add `23|°F + 82|°F + 302|K` or `5|m + 30|cm + 0.01|mi` within a rule (note that the `|` is used as a delimiter between the value and its unit in rules), the result is always correctly calculated. You can find more technical background information about this feature in the [Eclipse SmartHome blog](https://www.eclipse.org/smarthome/blog/2018/02/22/units-of-measurement.html).
-
-## New Integrations
-
-We have a new record for the number of new add-ons for a release: openHAB 2.3 brings 25 new add-ons to the existing pool! This roughly makes one new add-on per week - despite this success, there are still plenty further add-ons in the review queue, so future releases are not likely to slow down much.
-
-Worth to mention are the integrations with two quite widely used systems (at least in Germany): [innogy](/addons/bindings/innogysmarthome/) with a broad portfolio and [tado°](/addons/bindings/tado/) with climate and heating devices. Unfortunately, both of them do not offer any local integration, so that offline situations can not be covered.
-
-A more geeky device that is great for notifications is [LaMetric Time](/addons/bindings/lametrictime/): With its huge dot matrix display, it is perfect as a feedback channel to the users.
-
-
-
-
-Another cool addition is the [Amazon Echo Control binding](/addons/bindings/amazonechocontrol/), which gives full control over Amazon Echo devices, so that you can control the media playback, use it as a text-to-speech service or trigger reports like the daily briefing or the weather forecast.
-
-Last but not least: The very first binding that was written in 2010 for openHAB has finally been migrated to a [fully 2.x compatible implementation: KNX](/addons/bindings/knx/)! This new implementation not only makes it possible to also configure the KNX integration through the Paper UI, it furthermore supports reading information from physical KNX addresses, such as manufacturer and firmware ids and it can also ping those addresses in order to determine whether the devices are still available on the bus.
-
-## Ecosystem News
-
-Besides the distribution of the runtime, you should also be aware of some news from other components within the openHAB ecosystem:
-
-### Google Assistant Integration
-
-openHAB has an officially certified [openHAB Google Assistant Smart Home Action](/docs/ecosystem/google-assistant/). The openHAB Action is one of the first open source smart home integrations in the Google Assistant ecosystem and allows users to connect their openHAB instances through the [myopenHAB service](https://www.myopenhab.org) to Google Assistant and easily manage and control their homes by voice. There is a step by step [guide](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-google-assistant/blob/master/USAGE.md) on how to use the openHAB Google Assistant Smart Home Action. The Action supports lights, plugs, switches and thermostats. It comes with multiple supported languages like English, German and French.
-
-Besides [Alexa](/docs/ecosystem/alexa/) and [MyCroft](/docs/ecosystem/mycroft/), this is the third voice assistant that can be used with openHAB.
-
-### openHAB Cloud runs from Docker to Kubernetes
-
-[openHAB Cloud](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-cloud/blob/master/README.md#openhab-cloud) now supports a cloud native architecture, powered by the open source [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) system to enable more scalable openHAB Cloud platform setups and deployments. openHAB Cloud comes with easy to use [deployment scripts](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-cloud/blob/master/deployment/kubernetes/kubernetes-deploy.sh) for Kubernetes and OpenShift. The Kubernetes feature relies on containers, distributed management and orchestration, and openHAB Cloud will soon completely shift into the use of microservices designed for cloud environments. More detailed information on how to deploy openHAB Cloud using Docker, Kubernetes or OpenShift can be found [here](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-cloud/tree/master/deployment).
-
-
-
-### openHAB Android App
-
-The [openHAB Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.openhab.habdroid) is very actively maintained and there were many bigger and smaller improvements over the last months, like the improved voice integration, the support for locations and maps, refresh on swipe, etc. Besides the version in the Play Store, there is also a Google-free, pure open-source version of the [app available on F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.openhab.habdroid/).
-
-### Project Website
-
-We have launched our completely re-designed website this weekend - besides being more modern and faster, it now seamlessly includes this blog, has a great [showcase section](/about/showcase.html) and an excellent [search for supported devices](/addons/) (including a [complete list of all Z-Wave devices](/addons/bindings/zwave/doc/things.html)).
-
-For those who are interested in "offline information", don't miss to check out the new list of [upcoming events](/about/events.html)!
-
-### Community
-
-As always, I would very much like to thank all our community members that contributed to all those efforts - such a progress is only possible through the immense dedication of many different people and it is a great honor to serve this community as a project lead - keep up the awesome work!

- How the openHAB website and its 450 pages of docs was rebuilt from the ground
- up in a month with VuePress and Netlify
----
-Let me start by saying a word about this new blog: this post is going to break away from announcements invariably made by Kai :smile: - in fact, it's not even about home automation at all... and that's fine! This space is also for you, the community, and is aimed at providing a new front-and-center communication tool besides community.openhab.org for anything openHAB-related which might be worthwhile or interesting to share. There is an easy-to-use editor to help guests write content even if they don't have a GitHub account or aren't familiar with Git; so if you want to contribute a post, just get in touch and we'll make it happen!
-
-I'm thrilled to kickstart this new influx of content by giving you an overview of this new website, how it's done (I'll try to keep it interesting if you're not into web development!) and how it came to be.
-
-
-
-## Choosing the right tool
-
-The discussion started in February among the openHAB Foundation members and was originally about a website redesign for the main home page, to give openHAB a fresh and modern appeal to newcomers. It quickly evolved into a debate about which kinds of web technologies to use - there are indeed many possible approaches these days:
-
-- Pages rendered by a server using technologies like PHP or servlets (openHAB's [Basic UI](/docs/configuration/ui/basic/) or traditional CMS like WordPress or Joomla are examples of this architecture). Having dynamic client-side features are possible with this approach but need to be added on top with another JavaScript framework and/or plugins;
-- A _Single Page Application_ or SPA where most or all of the rendering is done in the browser using a modern web application framework like Angular, React or Vue.js - for example, GMail, [Paper UI](/docs/configuration/paperui.html) and [HABPanel](/docs/configuration/habpanel.html) are SPAs. These feel usually very snappy and "app-like", not requiring page reloads, and allow more dynamic and interactive features... but they're not optimal for websites because they doesn't play well with search engines, since the initial page is an empty shell until the JavaScript app is fully loaded (Google and others can interpret JavaScript when indexing now, but it's still kind of hit-and-miss);
-- To solve the above problem, modern web frameworks now all offer _isomorphic_ or _server-side rendering_ (SSR), allowing the initial page load to be rendered on a backend Node.js server and also boot the JavaScript app (often a SPA) client-side, by the same framework, using the same shared code. The drawback is that it requires that backend server to keep running in order to serve the pages dynamically;
-- A static site generator like [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), [Hexo](https://hexo.io/) or [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/), the latter being used in GitHub Pages powering the venerable docs.openhab.org and the former website, prebuilds all pages from markup and templates; these are great for content-centric websites like documentation, load fast since nothing is dynamically-rendered, and don't require any kind of backend application server so they can be hosted on a content delivery network (CDN);
-- A relatively new trend is to combine both advantages of a server-less static site generators and isomorphic rendering by prerendering all pages as static files with the initial content at build time with the SSR capability of a web framework, and load the same web framework on the client to take over once the page is loaded to allow dynamic web app components and single-page navigation. This is implemented by [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/), [Nuxt.js](https://nuxtjs.org/) or [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/), among others.
-
-Then, about one month and a half ago, as we were discussing Nuxt, I learned about [VuePress](https://vuepress.vuejs.org/) and suggested considering it as well.
-
-
-
-VuePress was started just a few weeks before by Evan You, the Vue.js project founder, with the intent to create a simple new generator for their own subprojects' documentation. Despite being literally days old, it was already gaining traction and popularity very quickly, and rightly so: it has a great responsive default theme for technical documentation - you might recognize it here since only minor modifications were made - as well as a good feature set with convincing [advantages](https://vuepress.vuejs.org/guide/#why-not) over the abovementioned alternatives. Most interestingly, it seemed it could easily allow killing two birds with one stone: being able to give openHAB a modern new "marketing" front, and easily giving the documentation pages' a fresh look in the process too, improving the navigation and giving them the new coat of paint they needed - all with the same tool.
-
-I was immediately convinced and hacked together a proof-of-concept in a few hours to check whether it could handle the 400+ pages of the sizeable openHAB documentation... and it actually went very well. The go-ahead came shortly after: the new website was going to be built with VuePress.
-
-## Migrating (or not) the documentation
-
-The openHAB documentation has its own [repository](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-docs/), with a carefully crafted process to gather them from about half a dozen other repositories - Eclipse SmartHome, openHAB 1 & 2 addons, and repositories for specific add-ons or integrations like the Z-Wave binding or the Alexa skill - to be combined into a single site, which is far from trivial and no small feat. It was out of the question to disrupt this process (while it's not perfect, it works, and [will be made better](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-docs/issues/665)) to accomodate the new website. Instead, my approach was to take the content out of the openhab-docs repository as is, keeping the documentation workflow oblivious of the website, and manipulate it to include it in VuePress as a separate subsequent step - improvements and streamlining of this resulting 2-step process would be made afterwards.
-
-This is the purpose of the [prepare-docs](https://github.com/openhab/website/blob/master/prepare-docs.rb) script, run as part of every build before the actual compile phase generating the web app and static files: this script clones the docs repository in a temporary location, moves the content into the final structure, removes Jekyll-specific things, fixes some links & content, and takes care of incompatibilities between Jekyll's and VuePress' Markdown renderers; it also determines the original location of the documents (for valid _Edit on GitHub_ links to the source), and adds logos & deprecation warnings to pages, among other things. Finally, it enumerates the add-on pages by type, creating files included by the main config file in order to build the sidebar navigation.
-
-All this migrated and generated content is not checked in the website's repository (using directives in `.gitignore` files) to avoid duplicates and outdated content. This is why the documentation is not actually being migrated: it continues to be maintained separately in its own repository, keeping its own existing issues and pull requests trackers, and is simply prepared and included into the website during the build. Over time, some of the more specific find & replaces in the _prepare-docs_ script tackling a specific problem with some page will be eventually fixed at the source and removed.

-## Combining Markdown rendering & Vue.js components
-
-One of the great strengths of VuePress is that it allows leveraging Vue.js by either taking over the whole layout of a page, like the home page or the blog, or rather embedding components inside Markdown content, giving pages some dynamic features where needed, like on the [Download](/download/) and [Add-ons](/addons/) pages.
-
-Vue.js is certainly one of the most trending web app frameworks today, and like its competitors it includes a component system where pages are a composition of increasingly specialized, self-contained [components](https://github.com/openhab/website/blob/master/.vuepress/components/). For example, the source of the [home page](https://github.com/openhab/website/blob/master/.vuepress/components/HomePage.vue) is basically a stack of sub-components, one for each section - making it trivial to move them around or inserting a new one -, and those sections may also in turn include other components (like the animated icons in the "Why openHAB" section or the Twitter timeline).
-
-I have only months of experience with Vue, but what I like the most about it is the ability to combine the markup template, styling and scripting of a component inside a single _.vue_ file, while keeping the three aspects separate - each _Component.vue_ file has a distinct `` section, a `

-The open Home Automation Bus (openHAB, pronounced ˈəʊpənˈhæb) is an open source, technology agnostic home automation platform which runs as the center of your smart home!
-
-openHAB **software** integrates different home automation systems, devices and technologies into a single solution.
-It provides uniform user interfaces, and a common approach to automation rules across the entire system, regardless of the number of manufacturers and sub-systems involved.
-
-You've reached the openHAB documentation, which contains extensive resources for all users:
-
-- If you are new to openHAB, we recommend to learn a bit about openHAB first before jumping in - please proceed directly to the [Getting Started](#getting-started) chapter below!
-- If you're an experienced user, the [Download](/download) page contains links and simplified installation instructions. The [Configuration Guide](./configuration/) and the _Interfaces and Ecosystem_ section below also contain useful information. If you're looking for the documentation of a specific add-on, go to the [Add-on Reference](/addons/). You can also use the search box above to find any page on this site.
-- If you're using openHAB 1.x and want to migrate your installation to openHAB 2, have a look at our [Migration Guide](./configuration/migration/).
-- If you would like to contribute to the development of openHAB, please refer to our [Developer Guide](./developer/).
-
-This documentation is always worked on, so expect regular changes. If you feel that something important is missing, please [help us improve the documentation](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-docs/blob/gh-pages/README.md#contributing-to-the-documentation)!
-
-::: warning The openHAB Documentation is evolving
-
-The structure of the new documentation site has been altered in certain places to improve your reading experience. The documentation for the previous releases can still be viewed at [docs.openhab.org](https://docs.openhab.org/) or with the "Other versions" dropdowns on most pages. During a transition period, you might encounter broken or invalid links - please bear with us and accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

-## Getting Started
-
-We highly recommend that you read the next chapter titled [Concepts](./concepts/index.html).
-It introduces a number of important ideas that will help you as you install and begin to configure openHAB for the first time.
-
-openHAB runs on many popular platforms including Linux, Windows and Mac OSx.
-You can find specific installation instructions for these and other platforms in the [Installation Guide](./installation/).
-Many people find that the simplest way to experiment with openHAB is to get a [Raspberry Pi](https://raspberrypi.org) and install [openHABian](./installation/openhabian.html) - the "hassle-free openHAB setup".
-While openHABian offers a streamlined and simplified way to get up and running quickly, it is a complete openHAB home automation system capable of automating your entire home.
-
-Once you have openHAB up and running, the [Configuration Guide](./configuration/) contains everything you need to know to get your openHAB installation talking to different devices around your home.
-For instance, you can use [Sitemaps](./configuration/sitemaps.html) to control how the status of these devices are displayed on different openHAB User Interfaces, and you can begin to experiment with [Rules](./configuration/rules-dsl.html) in order to get the most out of your installation. There are many other ways of interacting with your openHAB smart home: the most popular are presented in the _Interfaces and Ecosystem_ section below.
-
-Along the way, you may have some questions; the openHAB community is here to help.
-
-## The openHAB Community
-
-openHAB is not just software - it is also a **community** of users, contributors and maintainers, working together on an open-source, interoperable approach to home automation.
-The center of this community is the [openHAB community forum](https://community.openhab.org).
-You can search previous conversations and issues to see if your question has already been answered.
-You can post your own question as well (although it is generally considered to be good etiquette to check fairly thoroughly before posting).
-One of the great things about openHAB is that it has an active and responsive community of developers and maintainers who generally respond quite quickly to forum questions.
-We believe you will find that our community works diligently to make newcomers feel at home.

-## Architecture Overview
-
-openHAB 2 is developed in [Java](https:/www.java.com/) and mainly based on the [Eclipse SmartHome](https://eclipse.org/smarthome/) framework.
-It uses [Apache Karaf](http://karaf.apache.org/) together with [Eclipse Equinox](https://www.eclipse.org/equinox/) to create an Open Services Gateway initiative [(OSGi)](https://www.osgi.org/) runtime environment.
-[Jetty](https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/) is used as an HTTP server.
-
-openHAB is highly modular software that can be extended through "Add-ons".
-Add-ons give openHAB a wide array of capabilities, from User Interfaces, to the ability to interact with a large and growing number of physical Things.
-Add-ons may come from the openHAB 2 distribution, the Eclipse SmartHome project Extensions, or from the openHAB 1 distribution.
-
-The overall architecture of openHAB is shown in the figure below:

-
-
-Let's continue with the [Concepts](./concepts/index.html) section where we introduce many fundamental ideas that are used throughout openHAB.
