I recently transitioned from OpenHab 2.5 to OpenHab 4 and noticed some differences in how mappings work. In my previous setup, I used mappings like UP="▲", STOP="X", DOWN="▼", MOVE="V", 50="Z" for roller shutters, which worked seamlessly. However, in OpenHab 4, I’m encountering some challenges. I’ve seen posts suggesting similar configurations, but I’m unsure if they apply directly to OH4. Has anyone successfully implemented this in the latest version? I’d love to hear your experiences and tips!
Another topic I’m curious about is integrating motion sensors horizontally across doorways to prevent pets from tripping them. I’ve been researching focused motion sensors or garage door obstruction sensors that can be recessed into door frames for a sleek look. If anyone has recommendations or solutions, please share! I’d appreciate any insights or resources.
On a lighter note, I stumbled upon a discussion about creating a heating-only thermostat tile for regions without cooling systems. It would be fantastic to have a simplified dashboard tile for heating, especially for those in the UK and Ireland. If there are any developers or enthusiasts working on this, I’d be happy to contribute or provide feedback!
Lastly, I’m exploring ways to use printers or apps to schedule values at fixed dates and times. This could be incredibly useful for automating tasks like watering plants or adjusting thermostat settings. If anyone knows of existing apps or scripts that can achieve this, or if there’s interest in developing such a feature, please let me know!
Overall, I’m excited to dive deeper into OpenHab 4 and discover new possibilities for home automation. Let’s continue this conversation and share our findings!
