openhab-http-persistence

Persistence engine using URL calls.

Introduction

While OpenHAB supports a wide range of external tools, it can never support them all. A lot of those tools however expose API's.

Installing

Add the org.openhab.persistence.http.jar to the addons folder of an openHAB runtime installation and restart.

Configuration

The following configuration items can be set in openhab.cfg:

httppersistence:pattern=<some pattern>

This pattern is used to construct an URL to call. It uses the java formatter syntax. The URL is constructed using three parameters:

1. Name (or alias) of the item

2. Its value

3. Date This item is required.

   httppersistence:forcenumeric=true Some tools do not support String and only accept numeric (decimal) values. When setting this to true all values will be changed into a number. If its unable to do that, the value is ignored. This item is optional and defaults to false.
