I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation, and one area that’s been on my mind lately is heating control. For years, I’ve relied on KNX for managing my home’s heating system, which includes different temperature settings for various rooms at different times. It’s been a solid setup, but I’ve noticed some inconsistencies in the programming over time. This has led me to consider switching to OpenHAB, which I already use for lighting and other smart home features. The idea of having more control over the programming myself is appealing, especially since I’ve had some trust issues with my KNX programmer in the past.
The challenge here is understanding how KNX and OpenHAB can coexist. From what I gather, both systems might try to control the heating simultaneously, which could cause conflicts. I’m wondering if it’s possible to integrate them without interference. My initial thought is that I’d need to remove the KNX programming related to heating to prevent any conflicts. But I’m not entirely sure if that’s the only solution or if there’s a way to have both systems work together harmoniously.
Has anyone here successfully integrated KNX and OpenHAB for heating control? I’d love to hear about your experiences, successes, and any challenges you’ve overcome. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Let’s explore this together and see if we can find a seamless solution for managing heating in a smart home setup.
