Virtual Inverse Switch and Persistence Viewer Integration

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on to streamline my smart home setup. I’ve been experimenting with creating a virtual inverse switch for my OpenHAB setup, which has been a fun challenge. The goal was to have a switch that displays ‘ON’ when the actual state is ‘OFF’ and vice versa. This was particularly useful for controlling certain apps where the default switch behavior was the opposite of what I needed. After some research and trial and error, I managed to create a driver that achieves this functionality. It’s been working smoothly so far, and I’m excited to see how it integrates with my other smart home devices.

Another project I’ve been tinkering with is a Persistence Viewer using HTML, jQuery, and AJAX. I built a simple tabular viewer to monitor data from my OpenHAB setup. While the initial version was functional, I wanted something more user-friendly and customizable. I’ve managed to condense the code and make it compatible with HABPanel, which has made it much easier to use. I’d love to hear if anyone else has tried something similar or has suggestions for improvement!

One thing I’ve noticed is that after enabling security settings in OpenHAB, my image refresh functionality stopped working. It’s a bit frustrating because it was working perfectly before. I’m curious if others have encountered similar issues and how they resolved them. Any tips or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Overall, I’m really enjoying the process of customizing my smart home setup. It’s been a great way to learn more about OpenHAB and push the boundaries of what’s possible with smart home automation. I’d love to hear your thoughts or any challenges you’ve overcome in your own setups!
