OpenHAB integration of itunes-API

Requirements

• MacOS with iTunes
• itunes-api - https://github.com/eiGelbGeek/itunes-api
• openhab2
• -> Javascript Transformation
• -> HTTP Binding
• -> Expire Binding
• JQ - https://github.com/stedolan/jq
• -> sudo apt-get install jq

Installation

Copy all files to Openhab2 based on folder structure!

Create all necessary items, rules and the sitemap.

Fill in the IP address in the HTML file

Complete the configuration of the two bash scripts.

• -> sudo chown openhab:openhab /etc/openhab2/scripts/*.sh
• -> sudo chmod +u+x /etc/openhab2/scripts/*.sh
• -> sudo chown openhab:openhab /etc/openhab2/transform/*.js
• -> sudo chown openhab:openhab /etc/openhab2/html/*.html

Before you update the playlists, make a back-up!

I've tested the script several times, but I'm not responsible for data loss!
