Works with Openhab2

Works great with Openhab2. I use the unstable build along with some unofficial addons to get Zigbee and Zwave working with all my devices. I am currently using a Raspberry Pi 3 + Openhabian setup. Brief History I first tried openhab2 on a headless ubuntu server on a pi 3 and it worked to a point. From time to time when I do an update, Openhab crashes or starts glitching and I spend most of my time debugging and fixing crashes. I can't remember how many times I've started from scratch. I've found using Openhabian (his Raspbian lite + Openhab) to be more stable than installing Openhab manually. A few things you should know: -config is a graphical menu for configuring openhab, which makes things a lot easier for beginners. Openhabian Installation Documentation (Pi 3 + Openhabian) docs.openhab.org/installation/openhabian.html#raspberry-pi Most devices should be running a stable version of Openhab. Zwave device that worked for me: -- Leviton Decora Smart Socket -- ZOOZ Z-Wave Plus 4-in-1 ZSE40 sensor -- GoControl WNK01-21KIT (contact and motion sensors) -- Ecolink Z-Wave PIR -Motion Detector - - Kwikset 910 Z-Wave Deadbolt (You need secure activation, it works for me with an unstable build of openhab + custom zwave addon, link below) community.openhab.org/t/oh2-z- wave-refactoring-and-testing-and-safety/21653 Zigbee devices that worked for me: -- Sengled Element Classic LED Smart Bulbs -- Sengled Element Touch A19 Smart Bulb -- GE Link Smart LED Bulb -- SYLVANIA SMART+ A19 Full Color LED Bulb + Tunable White LED Bulb – – Osram Tunable A19 Smart Lamp Other: – TP-Link Smart Socket (HS100 – Requires special add-on.
