Anyone here using openHAB?
I only learned about openHAB last night. I'm not quite fully immersed into the home automation ecosystem, but I do run a bunch of small scripts from my dedicated RasPi that I have mounted to my electrical panel. It looks like openHAB could replace a good chunk of what I'm already doing and make it easier to add more.
All of my scripts are in my pi-scripts repo on GitHub. None of it's too fancy, but it gets the job done.
A few of my scripts / utils:
Heat Tweet: Send me a tweet every time the A/C or Furnace goes on/off
Nest ThingSpeak: Sends my Nest data to ThingSpeak for better graphs, since the graphs that Nest provides are pretty useless.
Mordoor: Monitors the 2 proximity sensors on my garage doors, combined with the home/away status of the nest thermostat to automatically close my garage doors. I implemented this after leaving one of the doors open overnight and raccoons wandered in and made a mess of my garbage and food waste bins.
Treelights: Toggles a WeMo switch to turn on/off the Christmas tree lights based on the home/away status of the Nest
Pretty much everything is done in bash, though I had a long term plan to learn Go and re-write them in Go, but maybe not after looking into openHAB.
