python library for accessing the openHAB REST API

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 >= 3.5
• 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.

Installation

Install the latest version using pip:

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 swith on
item.on()

# send a state update (this only update the state)
item.state = 'OFF'

# send a command
item.command('ON')
