After years of relying on OpenHAB 1.7/1.8 with Z-Wave devices, I decided it was time to explore OpenHAB 2. The transition has been enlightening, though not without its hurdles. I’ve noticed significant improvements in Z-Wave support and HABmin functionality, which are critical for my setup. However, the compatibility of addons like astro, weather, and samsung tv remains a concern. I’m curious to know if others have successfully integrated these addons with OH2 and if there are any tips to streamline the process.
One of the most exciting aspects of OH2 is its enhanced Z-Wave capabilities, which I hope will make adding new devices smoother. I’ve also been experimenting with creating multiple HABPanels for different devices, though I’m still figuring out the best approach. If anyone has documentation or advice on this, it would be incredibly helpful!
Overall, while OH2 feels more robust, I’m still navigating the addon compatibility landscape. I’m eager to hear from others who’ve made the switch—what challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them? Let’s share our experiences and tips to make the transition as seamless as possible for everyone!
