Part 3 - Configuration - Things, Items

The article will guide you through the basic setup of OpenHAB 3 on our model example of a smart house. We will explain what Things and Items mean - basic building units in OpenHAB. We will show some tips for bulk editing in Mian UI and how to "clicking" your house or apartment in this environment. An integral part is the setup of the link with MQTT commands, which is the basic communication protocol in our Pi-Home application project.

What we'll need

Raspberry Pi 4 B with case (optional DIN holder)

SSD disk (or better quality microSD card but this is not as reliable as SSD disc in production

Configuration

In the previous guide, we installed OpenHAB 3 and added some useful extensions for basic functionality. In this guide, we start with the home configuration. The basic model can be found under Settings-> Model. Use Add location to create the structure of your home. E.g. ground floor, first floor, garden. And add rooms to individual locations. Floor and rooms are Group types see example below:

We have also created three sections for individual rooms: General, Sensors and Heating. Their Name are always GBxxx, GSxxx and GHxxx, where xxx is the label of the respective room in the house (see Pi-Home - Model house). We insert the lights, sockets, sensors, roller shutters, PIR and everything else into the rooms. Individual elements are called Items and they can be created in bulk - see next steps.

MQTT and connections with "Items" (lights, sockets, blinds, sensors etc.)

We have to decide how to connect our items with MQTT commnads to communicat with Arduino. In order to set the reaction to MQTT messages, we have to link the Items element to some Thing type of MQTT Binding. In this case, to communicate with Arduino, we use the Generic MQTT Thing type. Easier than creating lots of Thing for each light is to create one Thing for, say, all the lights and then under this Thing create as many Channels as we have lights. In Channels we set the pattern of the MQTT message (topic) to which the Channel will be respond. Items can be created in bulk from Channels . Are you already lost in this? :D Don't worry, when you click it will be clearer to you. Let's do it!

Go to the Settings->Thing tab and add a new item using the blue + icon at the bottom right. Select
and fill values based on example picture below:

Click on the new added Lights Thing and switch to the Channels panel in the middle. Choose Add new Channel. Select On/Off Switch and set the MQTT topic to which the Channel will respond at the bottom.

You can create more Channels either by further clicking (boring), or faster, simply edit text, by copying and editing the new Channel in the Code tab which you will find on the far right. Note the coding of lights as Lxxx, where L=Light and xxx is the marking of the room in the house see. Pi-Home - Model House

Our Code for Thing lights looks like code below. Feel free to copy and edit it

Add all the lights and their specific MQTT. Finally, choose Add Equipment to Model, choose Expert mode below. You will see the text output to create Items. This import text can be slightly modified to tell you what icons you want to have on these elements, what groups they will be in, etc. For our model house, mass import of Items would look something like this:

This way you can create up to 50 lights at a time and save clicking with subsequent icon assignments, etc. Enter the modified code and confirm with the Add button on the top right. The corresponding number of lights in Items will be created. In addition, they will each be in the respective room, so you don't have to click them manually.

Add Thing for sockets, blinds, sensors, buttons, etc. in the exact same way. Be careful with blinds, there will be also a "STOP" option. With buttons, we will only react to "push" action. Add individual Channels and create Items from them collectively. In our model house, we have created more than 150 elements in this way.

Below you will find the bulk imports we have used. You can save hours of texting with copy our lists of objects and edit it for your own situation. Always create Thing and the appropriate Channels first. Then generate Items.
