HABitatX

HABitatX is a tool that supports batch management of multiple devices, which tends to be complicated in the openHAB smart home system. This system works as an interface to provide batch management operations for openHAB. It is required that openHAB is running. The system operates as a stand-alone application and runs on the same computer as openHAB. It can create, modify, and delete text files that configure openHAB devices at once.

Text files that configure openHAB devices are created from template codes and spreadsheets. Template code defines the structure of a text file that configures the openHAB device. Template code is an embedded type and creates a text file by embedding information obtained from external sources in specified locations. It uses ERB, a template engine, as the format. A spreadsheet is an interface that contains a list of information to be embedded in the template code. It uses Excel as the format.

HABitatX" is a term coined from "openHAB", "habitat", and "X" which represents a vision for the future.

Requirements

  • Ruby 3.3.3
  • Ruby on Rails 7.1.3.4
  • openHAB 3.4.3 ~
  • RDBMS (Relational Data Base Management System)

Setup

HABitatX

  1. Clone this repository 
    $ git clone https://github.com/SenoOh/HABitatX.git

Install RDBMS

This system uses ActiveRecord for DB connection, so it can use relational database management system (RDBMS). When you use Docker to launch HABitatX, you need not to install it. We explain the installation of SQLite3 as an example.

  1. Install SQlite3 
    $ sudo apt install sqlite3

Launch

Preliminary Preparations

  1. Copy .env.example file and create .env file.
  2. Replace OPENHAB_PATH，AUTH_SERVER_PATH and PUB_KEY in the .env file with your own information.
  3. Add any RDBMS gem to the Gemfile, and add or edit other RDBMS information as needed.

Linux

  1. bundle install 
    $ bundle install
  2. Generate DB 
    $ rails db:migrate
  3. Launch
$ bin/rails server

After launching, open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to open the HABitatX screen.

Docker

  1. Launch
$ ./start.sh

After launching, open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to open the HABitatX screen.

Usage

Overview

Demo movie

  1. Generate template code.

    Switch <%= code['itemID'] %> "<%= code['label'] %>" <<%= code['icon'] %>>

  2. Set title, code, openHAB ID prefix, and extension in the template operator.

    ・code is template code.

    ・Create a text file name by combining openHAB ID prefix and the ID of each device.

    ・For "extension", select the extension from the pull-down menu.

  3. Generate spreadsheet.
