- Опубліковано 28 гру 2024
- In this video I will show you how to connect or setup Home Kit (Home App + Siri) with OpenHAB 2. I will be connecting my Home app on my iphone and ipad to OpenHAB 2 but the same process can be used for other ios devices. We will be able to control openhab 2 with siri and the Home App! Siri will also control my sprinkler system and lights! All of this is going to be possible because we will be using the homekit integration binding in openhab 2.

Hey Matt i want to ask you how too use openhabian with insteon devices
Great video, but why not setting up homkit without OpenHAB from the start? Does it have any advantages?
Thanks for the video! I'm so glad someone is finally making videos on openHAB2. Forums online are okay for troubleshooting but as someone who is new to home automation how to videos make it so much easier. Finally got HomeKit to cooperate thanks to this video!
A lot of things has been changed since 2017. Today all that I need to connect openhab system to Apple home app is Openhab server and apple device ? Am I correct ? Must I download some other software to connect to Openhab Server (for instance Homebridgre or something else) ?
Is there a way to make an alias of some sort to make HomeKit open and close the garage doors? Kind of like the dummy item you made but can translate 100% to be open and 0% to be closed.
Hi Matt, thanks a lot for your awesome video's! I followed every step you describe but when I trie to add OpenHab in the home app it's not visible at all. Any ideas what the problem might be?
+Rogier Mulder did u try restarting your pi?
Yeah I did. Still didn't work. So then I uninstalled the binding, restarted the pi, reinstalled the binding, uninstalled the home app, walked through every step again. Still no success :'(
It might be something with your items file
To keep it simple I only added the [ "Switchable" ] tag to one of the dummy switches in my items file. But OH is still not appearing. Maybe the add-on has some settings in other config files too. Or maybe it's in conflict with my Philips Hues. I'll try some other approaches, when I succeed I'll let you know. Thanks anyway!
did u try rebooting ur server? what server are u using?
Can you please make the video on how to make the power strips that turn off with OpenHab 2.
I have a Raspberi Pi B+, running openhabian, is it supposed to be SO slow to add?
Looks like I am about 5 years behind here and maybe things have changed. I'm new to openHAB and wondering if this can also be used in reverse to control HomeKit devices? i.e. use OpenHAB to control a device which works with HomeKit but does not have its own API or binding. Specific use case is Velux (300) Active window blinds. No binding or API for this. Works with HomeKit and also Google Home. Thanks!
Hi Matt, BEFORE adding [ "Switchable" ] to the item: (Switch DEMOSW "Demo Switch"), Basic UI and Classic UI will show friendly name with the on/off switch. AFTER adding [ 'Switchable" ] (Switch DEMOSW "Demo Switch" [ “Switchable” ]), all UI's will show the Variable DEMOSW with the on/off switch. Any idea why? Thanks in advance!
Is there any way of keeping physical switch also to control ? Because always using phone is not practical
What Mic do you use? it sounds good :)
Gora Lav Mic
thanks guy, is this system can work over 4g i mean the home app over 4g with out any apple tv
Good work mate, anything on XiaoMi product compatibility of the system yet?
in my case, the HomeKit doesn't see the Openhab after I enter the code..it just keeps searching forever. The pairing codes does match and all seem good...
Can I connect between my iphone and ipad and how ?
I am not able to pair more than one iOS device with openHab. Is this normal and is there any workaround?
Hi there, well done for this very good publishing and sharing.
I have few questions:
-. Did you manage to control volume and controls of Chromecast using Siri? If so, can you share the method or config?
-. Is it possible to pass variables to openhab using Siri, for example you ask her to set a motor speed to a certain speed like 10 or any other value or ask her to set the motor speed to fast, slow or normal strings?
Hi. for this to work. Must have a dedicated raspberry pi; a mac; a dedicated pc or apple tv? Thank you
Alexander Rincon yes it require dedicated device. Openhab is opensource replacement for google home and other devices like that but ofcourse you have to install it on some computer. I recommend rpi 3 since its cheap and low power consumption. Rpi3 has wifi and bluetooth you can get a used for very less.
Where are the relay systems connected to the pi??!!!!
So I got everything working but now after a few hours of not touching the home app all of the switches become unresponsive. Is there a fix for that?
Hi Matt thanks for all your videos!!! i have a problem. i just installed openhab2 onmy Rpi3 but home kit wont pair... i try unistall it, a clean installcion and nothing.. any advise??
+Gavilaso did you configure all the settings correctly, and did you follow all my guides including pi setup and homekit setup?
MK-SmartHouse hi Matt thanks for you reply, yes I did! I forgot about it and started to learn new stuff... today I decided to give it another try and when I try to add device... I saw 2 openhab, ( openhab and openhab(2) ) so this time i selected the one without the (2) and it worked!!! I have another question... don't know if you can help me... I'm
Using openhabian 2.1 I'm trying to control the gpio but without any luck... any advice?? Been reading everywhere but know... I'm just learning about this... I got working my wemo switch and Siri but can get the gpio to turn on a single LED...
I think I might make a video about OpenHAB 2 and GPIO because everyone seems to have a problem with it. Personally I have not done it yet but I will try!
MK-SmartHouse ok! If you find a way and share it with us I will really appreciate it!!!! There is not information anywhere!!
hello Matt, every time I try to connect I get an error saying "home couldn't add openhab". I've been stuck on this error for over a year now.
is homekit hub mandatory ?
I’m new to OH2 and HomeKit for that matter. I have some z-wave switches that I’m able to get configured in Paper UI, but I can’t seem to get them to work with HK. I created a .items file and added the tags, but when I add openHAB to the iOS Home app, all it does is add the openHAB accessory and stop and I can’t do anything with it. It doesn’t take me through the other items. What am I missing? Should I not configure my z-wave items through Paper UI first and leave it all to manual entry? I can’t seem to figure it out. I’m running OH2 on Win10, btw.
+Jon Fuller for home kit to work you have to create the items in the items file and add tags, that is the only way ik
MK-SmartHouse Thx for the quick reply. I didn’t see bindings for some of your switch items in the .items file in your video. Do I not need to set bindings up for them to work with HomeKit?
+Jon Fuller those switch items are Belkin wemo devices that I configured those in the paper ui, so I am simply forwarding the commands.
MK-SmartHouse I removed all my items and things and went step by step through your setup videos and I got it working with HomeKit! Thank you so much for providing all this info! Don’t know how I would have figured it out without you!
hi there went I write sudo nano /etc/openhab2/items/home.items and press enter it asks me for a PW. I tried mi pi pw, openhab habopen openhabian and always the same "Error executing command: login failed"
Awww why does my stuff never work. When I got to the items folder I don't have any files. Just a readme file. Do I have to create the file? Also I'm using openhab2 and added everything by the GUI using paper ui.
+Luke Monahan I recommend you watch my openhab setup playlist on my channel it goes over everything
Thanks for the tutorial, but sorry for that dumb question, but how can I know what is my Openhab server IP ? I tried the IP of the Mac it is installed, but it doesn't work...
found it? openhab (web)server uses port 8080, so if you have OH2 running on a mac, and made sure no other webservers use 8080, just go to :8080 in a browser to get to the GUI.. otherwise open terminal on mac and find the config dir: 'cd $OPENHAB_CONF'
Hy Matt, When i try to add openhab to my home app on my iphone, it says that my accessories is not compatible yet with the home app ... I've tried several times with the same FU**** result lol Can you help me ? :)
+eXiLium Clem what version of openhab do u have? And what version iOS? Try restarting the pi. Clear the app and try again
I Have Openhab 2.0.0 on a windows server based machine with the firewall etc disable. and on the iPhone I'm currently running iOS 10.3.2. I also tried to remove my home and clear homekit pairings on openhab with the command "smarthome:homekit clearPairings" and start again but that didn't work, the home app still says that openhab is not supported yet by the home app :(
It might be something with your items file
the same problem I have, but also when I add the tag of the home kit, the switches in the openhab app, didn´t work
Luis Valencia
I Have found that if you are running openHAB on a Windows machine, You have to put all the items that you want to control through HomeKit in the beginning of your items file and you should be good to go :) it's looks like OpenHAB on windows is a little bit different than the raspberry version
Many thanks Matt for the great tutorials you've made! They are very useful and I have just achieved my first home automation project largely inspired by yours and used many of your Arduino sketches! Good stuff! I did obviously many mistakes but at same time it was a great learning process and nothing I couldn't eventually overcome. It feels so great when it works :) I'd have one question, I am running Openhab2 on a RPI 3 and noticed that Home Kit sometimes hangs. Looking at the log (var/log/openhab2) I saw that Home Kit is creating a Java exception and loses connection with Openhab. I was wondering if you were running into the same issue. I've looked at community forums and several people are having the same issue but couldn't find any solution. I've obviously checked that I am running Java 8 and not 9. Cheers
+Thierry Stucker Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment a lot! No I have not run into this issue.
Great video keep them coming!!
Nice! I was waiting for this video
It would be nice but it is not working on ios 11.4 :(
works for me ;)
I never managed to get my chamberlain garage to work with HomeKit, anyone else experience this.
