Dont change anything, Totally best tutorial videos ever. I used the video in conjunction with the tutorial on your website, I have Openhab MQTT all set up and I had never touched a Pi or openHab Prior to this video. You Da Man!!!!!
I agree with Jacky. I have tired many times to install openhab2 and get my sensors integrated with zero luck. I have followed numerous other vids with no luck! Finally a great install vid that actually makes sense! Keep it up! I am interested to see if you use other z-wave devices and IP cam integration...
It has changed a little... The Mosquito is now hiding under the option 20 menu and all I could find was MQTT Action and not Binding so I hope that's the right one. This has been excellent / awesome help thus far along with your site! THANKS!!
OK between steps 3 & 4 you need to tell us to select the BINDINGS tab first and then SEARCH or it searched only the ACTIONS. At least that is the default tab that is active when we select Add-ons in current version. Thus I noticed the BINDINGS tab and found it there...
You should really use authentication of the MQTT server. Really, because that is easy to take control over. So the first command in the newly install system should be passwd and change password. And it isn't putty or sudo password. It is the account openhabian password. And please don't use same password on different accounts/services. Instead use a password manager.
When I type in "sudo nano /etc/openhab2/services/mqtt.cfg" nothing appears on the screen and in the upper right corner it sais "GNU nano 2.7.4"....i don't know what that means... Can anyone Help?

@@Hi5ist I have installed miflora-mqtt-daemon (22). Now, I can not even connect to MQTT.fx as I could before. Do you know, how to uninstall this component?
Now it's the version 1.2. All you have to do is to go to :"github.com/openhab/openhabian/releases" and download the first image for raspberry from 1.2 version, flash it on your sd card and wait for 40 minutes. It should work.
That's exactly what I started to do right know, but it there another way to fix this? I don't want to start fresh installations and configure openhab from scratch every time a new release happens. Did you happen to find some remedy to this?
Hello i have just a single Question what happens if you only have wireless internet how do you set it up to wireless. Because doesn't the initial setup requires a internet connection correct?
I'm stuck, I cannot figure out where the next video is in the series to be able to configure anything to talk to the mqtt server. I also cannot how to configure the MQTT server. have a sonoff light flashed with espeasy firmware. i can log into the webpage for the light. I can communicate with the openhab site. I have a sitemap and under the basic UI, I have a demo switch. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what to do next. can anyone please point me to the next relevant video that picks up where this one left off or any other relevant documentation.
fyi you may run into trouble just unplugging the pi. this is like doing the same to your computer which can corrupt the hard drive but with the pi the sd card is the hard drive so some sd cards and the older pis are notorious for corrupting the sd car making it unable to boot the proper way is to login via ssh and issue the shutdown command. or just reimage the sd card abd backup the sd card after you have done all your config.
Bitvise is much more useful and pleasant to use than putty. Also installing Byobu on the pi as a terminal manager makes using the pi and command line awesome. You can configure it by pushing F1 and even get it to tell you details such as CPU, RAM etc usage.
can anyone help me i forgot my password i tried alot of password combinations but i cant get in. is there anyway to change it without starting all over
Yeah I had the same issue. Maybe it has to do with the version of openhab and mqtt binding? I am on version OpenHab2 v2.4 using a mqtt binding 2.4.0. In this video Matt appears to be using OpenHab2 v2.0 and mqtt binding 1.9.0. For what it is worth...
Hello i got a new problem after installing the Openhab OS and i let it sit for an hour I logged in then it showed me a bunch of stuff i guess for log's then jams up. Not sure what to do. Can someone help me out on this problem?
I had several issues when doing my install but eventually got through it. Make sure that your Pi is connected to an Ethernet network when you boot for the first time. I believe It requires internet access to expand the OS.
No it was not a problem with the Installation or my Internet connection or even Power. The problem is it was a Bad micro SD card. It was brand new still in the package and it was bad, I Even tried to reformat it and windows said Nope couldn't. So new micro SD card and now up and running.
I am new in openhab i flowed your instruction and install openhabianpi-ua-netinst img but when i restart it it stuck in comment (1.608505 ---[end kernel panic - not syncing: Atemped to kill init! exitcod-0x0000000b) what it can be wrong
when i type in "sudo openhabian-config" i get asked for the password so i typed in "openhabian" but it says Error executing command: login failed ! i tried all the other passwords but nothing worked! please help!
I download the openhab file and loaded on the ad car. install the ad card on the pi. never load or expand files I double check if the image files were available on the ad card and everything is there why is not working after 45 min wait time
Nope, there is no new link everything is still the same. I would recommend following the guide exactly because it does work you might have just missed a step or something.
Hello everyone. I have decided to set up a basic automation system to my house after I watched MK-SmartHouse videos over UA-cam. I bought a rasberry pi3 and followed the guides. I could reached to the part that we do the configurations over openhab. But after the configurations. When I reboot my rasberry pi, or even I unplag it; I cannot connect to it again. I type my ip adress with :8080 at the end to my web browser and it gives me only ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT and when I try to connect with Putty it gives me this error "Network Error:Connection Timed Out". But before rebooting. I am able to connect over my browser and putty. connection is gone after I reboot my rasberry pi.
hello MK and thanks for the great video. i got to the point (I blieve the SSH) when it asks for the username and password (openhbaian/openhabian) it keeps telling me "Access Denied" after typing in the password!! did i miss anything?
Hi, I have a problem, please help me: I cannot connect to openhab2 on ip:8080 (mine is 192.168.0.2:8080). I try reinstall everthing, step by step. If I try check the openhab status (sudo systemctl status openhab) I got: openhab.service Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory), Active: inactive (dead)...
MK-SmartHouse ive also ordered zero w. how do you connect to your lan if you have wifi thing? i mean, raspberry pi automaticly connects to lan with utp cablee, but what if you have wifi?
The link to the exact power adapter is in the description. Also I have been running for a couple years now with power outages during storms but other than that it is 24/7
Hi This is by far the best OpenHAB2 installation video I have seen and thank you. I got to the last part PaperUI and I am not able to find the MQTT binding in it, any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Hello you forgot one Important step after installing the Openhab Os is to safely remove the SD card or sometimes it will get corrupted. Just wanted everyone to be safe while installing something like this.
Figured it out. I had downloaded the wrong image - Silly me haha Downloaded openhabianpine64-xenial-201706161506-git7ff273e-crcadda6dbb.img.xz instead of openhabianpi-raspbian-201706161358-git7ff273e-crc00389b9f.img.xz It worked right away after downloading the correct image. Thanks
Okay it looks like i have a small problem. when i try to install openhab for my dads place i get errors. I tried to reinstall it and i have got the same errors. Not sure what to do now. i have posted it on pastebin sie pastebin.com/mYKaLUV9
The problem was the internet connection crapped out and didn't correctly finish installing the files. When i rebooted it didn't want to fix the problem so i started over and completed now it is working.

Good tutorial.
Might have made a note that it is good to save the settings of the router each time you make a change.
You might want to check that putty have set to use UTF-8 character encoding.
You should really use authentication of the MQTT server. Really, because that is easy to take control over.
So the first command in the newly install system should be passwd and change password.
And it isn't putty or sudo password. It is the account openhabian password.
And please don't use same password on different accounts/services. Instead use a password manager.
No need to remove the comment when configuration MQTT.
And use Etcher software to write the SD memory card. It is much easier to use.

Thank you for sharing the video, but I have run the raspberry pi and I can see it on my router but can not access it what will I do?

When I type in "sudo nano /etc/openhab2/services/mqtt.cfg" nothing appears on the screen and in the upper right corner it sais "GNU nano 2.7.4"....i don't know what that means... Can anyone Help?
