I’ve been on a journey to integrate my Smartthings ecosystem with Openhab2, and I’m thrilled to share my success story! 
The Challenge: I started with a basic setup—Smartthings hub, a few smart bulbs, and some motion sensors. But I wanted more control and customization, which led me to explore Openhab2. The learning curve was steep, especially with rules and bindings, but the community here has been invaluable. I stumbled upon this thread discussing Openhab2 rules not working and realized I wasn’t alone in my struggles.
The Solution: After hours of tweaking and testing, I finally got my rules to work seamlessly. The key was understanding how to properly configure the Smartthings binding and ensuring my items were correctly defined. I also discovered the power of using timers and conditional statements in my rules, which added a whole new layer of automation to my setup.
The Outcome: Now, my system is fully integrated. Motion sensors trigger lights, and my smart bulbs change colors based on the time of day. It’s like having a personal assistant managing my home! I’m so grateful to this community for the support and resources that made this possible.
If you’re considering integrating Smartthings with Openhab2, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to share my config files and tips!
