In this video we update a test version of OpenHAB 3, to the latest available version 4.0 M3; as in the previous video, but this time on Windows operating system; the update takes place using the "update.bat" command, native to OpenHAB.

Let's also briefly see where to download Java 17 from and how to use it to start OpenHAB 4.

I recommend that you perform a backup if you are updating a "production" system.

In this video let's update a test version of OpenHAB 3, to the latest available version 4.0 M2.

To do this you also need a Java update to version 17, running on an old but still valid Raspberry PI 3.

The update takes place directly, simply by changing the OpenHAB repositories from "stable" to "testing".

In this way it is possible to perform a direct update to the latest version of OpenHAB.

Obviously for those who update a "production" system, a preventive backup is a must.

In this video we migrate data from OpenHAB 3 to the new OpenHAB 4, using the docker container we created in the previous video to test OpenHAB 4.

We'll see how to export my current OpenHAB 3 data using the standard backup script; the generated files will be copied to OpenHAB 4.

This is a first way that I want to test to migrate from OpenHAB 3 to OpenHAB 4, although probably the most effective way will be to perform a direct upgrade. Which we will try in another video.

In this video, we take a peek at the new openhab version 4 released a few weeks ago and currently in the Milestone 1 version.

In this case we use Docker, with Portainer, which make it easy to try new versions, before final installation.

Let's think about planning an update...

In this video, let's see together what are the steps to perform an OPENHAB release update on Windows 10

In this video we talk about the possibility of managing the activation of a rule based on date and time through an item of type DateTime.

Up to version 3.2 of OpenHAB the rules that can be activated via date / time had wired the time conditions in the definition of the rule itself.

In version 3.3 the possibility has been added to set an item of type DateTime as a trigger for activating the rule: in this way it is possible to set the activation of the rule through the interface, without having to change the definition of the rule itself.
