“Introduction
The open Home Automation Bus (openHAB) project aims at providing a universal integration platform for all things around home automation.
It is designed to be absolutely vendor-neutral as well as hardware/protocol-agnostic. openHAB brings together different bus systems, hardware devices and interface protocols by dedicated bindings. These bindings send and receive commands and status updates on the openHAB event bus.
