Control Openhab from vera

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion
#1

I know there is a vera binding available for openhab to control vera devices from openhab.
However I want to do the opposite, namely is it possible to control openhab switches from within vera?
My domotica system (Nikobus) is only supported in openhab and works well from openhab, however I’ve made a homewave interface for my vera and I would like to control my lights from this nice Homewave interface.
I’d also like to integrate my lights in scenes.

Thanks in advance four any help!

You could do a Virtual Switch in Vera … control them from Homewave … use automation in OpenHab to sync the domotica switches to the Virtual Switch.

You can either do an HTTP GET to OpenHAB with a URL like http://ip.ad.dr.es:8080/CMD?ItemName=OFF or you can use the REST API ([url=https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/REST-API]https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/REST-API[/url]).

Thanks a lot guys.
I’ll first try the virtual switch path to clone the openhab switches.

I HAve now different vera virtual switches en defined them in openhab.
How do I link a openhab nikobus switch to the corresponding vera switch in openhab so that switching one changes also the status of the other linked switch item? In other words how do I link 1-to-1 both corresponding switches?
Thanks!
