OpenHAB Configuration

GitHub Project

⚠️ Legacy notice: Home Assistant MQTT Discovery (via mqtt-protocol = "homeassistant" on the controller) is now the primary integration path. openHAB remains fully supported via MQTT but requires manual configuration. See the compatibility matrix below.

Precondition

The Smart Swimming Pool project uses Homie 3.0 based MQTT messaging. Therfor you have to install an MQTT broker in your environment.

Raspberry Pi

I use an Raspberry Pi (Model 3) (Amazon). The latest version of openHAB has an embedded MQTT broker. In this example a seperate broker Mosquitto on same Raspberry Pi is configured.

Install Mosquitto

• Install Mosquitto on Raspberry Pi:

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade
  sudo apt-get install mosquitto
• In Paper UI install add-on ‘MQTT Binding’ from bindings.
• Check services/mqtt.cfg for your environment.
