Hi everyone,
I’m currently exploring the best way to integrate my OpenHAB setup with an Angular 4 application. My goal is to visualize and control my OpenHAB items seamlessly. I came across the idea of using MQTT as a central broker, where OpenHAB would publish item states to specific topics, and my Angular app would subscribe to these topics for both visualization and control.
While this approach seems feasible, I’m curious if there’s a simpler method to achieve the same functionality without the complexity of setting up an MQTT broker. I’ve heard that OpenHAB supports various integration methods, such as REST APIs and HTTP bindings, which might offer a more straightforward solution.
I’d love to hear your experiences and recommendations. Have you successfully integrated OpenHAB with external applications using MQTT, HTTP, or other methods? What were the pros and cons of your approach?
Looking forward to your insights!
Best regards,
Tobi
