WEBHOOK: What They Are, How They Work, and When to Use Them in Home Automation - VIDEO
What are Webhooks? How do they work? And above all: how can you use them with Switchbot?
In this video I explain everything you need to know about Webhooks, starting from scratch!
Webhooks are a powerful tool for automating communications between services.
In the world of home automation, and in particular with Switchbot devices, they allow you to receive events in real time, such as the opening of a door or a change of state.

OPENHAB: I finally completed the configuration of the Switchbot Smart Lock ... and it works !!!! - VIDEO
I complete the configuration of my Switchbot Smartlock in Openhab via the MQTT protocol, using my Api2mqtt Bridge, which allows you to use the switchbot apis through MQTT communication.
In this video, in addition to creating objects to send controls, view the battery status and more, I create a sitemap to take a final test.
You can download and use the bridge for free from my Github repository https://github.com/domoticsduino

OPENHAB: Switchbot Smartlock, easy integration with the first draft of my bridge API MQTT written in python - VIDEO
Do you have a Switchbot Smart Lock and want to integrate it into Openhab?
This video shows you a software that could be for you!
I wrote a Python program that acts as a bridge between the API of Switchbot and the Mqtt protocol, making the integration of the intelligent lock an easy stuff.
Forget complex configurations: with this script you can check and automate your Smart Lock directly from Openhab, taking advantage of the simplicity of the Mqtt protocol.
In the video you will find all the details. You can download the software and use free of charge from my Github repository https://github.com/domoticsduino

OPENHAB in a NUTSHELL - 58. My complete BACKUP script for OPENHAB 4 and INFLUXDB 2 on DOCKER - VIDEO
New video of the OPENHAB in a NUTSHELL series.
Last video of the miniseries dedicated to the standard maintenance of OpenHAB.
I show you my full backup script for a standard installation of OpenHAB on OpenHABian and for InfluxDB v. 2 running on docker container.
This script is inspired by a script related to OpenHAB 3 that you can find at this link https://github.com/oliranks/openHAB3-full_backup_and_restore (thanks to the github user oliranks).
I made some adaptations for OpenHAB 4 and for InfluxDB v. 2, on Docker container.
