This library allows for easily accessing the openHAB REST API. A number of features are implemented but not all, this is work in progress.

Requirements

• python :: dateutil

• python :: requests

• python :: typing

Note on openHAB1:

The current version is focused on OpenHAB 2.x; OpenHAB 1.x might still work, though this is not tested. If you require older OpenHAB support, please use an older version of this library.

pip install python-openhab

Example

Example usage of the library:

from openhab import openHAB

base_url = 'http://localhost:8080/rest'
openhab = OpenHAB(base_url)

# fetch all items
items = openhab.fetch_all_items()

sunset = items.get('Sunset')
print(sunset.state)

# fetch a single item
item = openhab.get_item('light_switch')

# turn a switch on
