OpenHAB - SmartHome

In this video, we delve into the heart of openHAB's operational control.

While the Main UI is convenient for everyday use, the Karaf console is where the real power for administration and debugging lies. Together, we'll explore Runtime Commands to interact directly with the core components of your home automation system.

What we'll cover in this video:

• Item Management: how to query the real-time status with smarthome:status, the crucial differences between send (to activate hardware) and update (for internal logical updates), and how to filter hundreds of objects with items list.
• Thing Control: monitoring the status of bridges and physical devices using the things list command.
• Link Control and Maintenance: a look at how to manage connections between channels and items and how to clean up orphaned links from the system.

Warning: Some of these commands act directly on the internal database (JsonDB) and could compromise the installation if used incorrectly.
