Making Changes to the 'myhome1' configurations for OpenHAB.
It is suggested that any changes be made to a new configuration under a new name (eg:'myhome2').
That way you can always run 'myhome1' to test that everything is still working.
WebePage for 'myhome2' under OpenHAB
.
The image on the left is the display after modified as below.
cd /opt/openhab
cd configurations
cd items
... Copy the myhome1 Items file to a new file myhome2.
sudo cp myhome1.items myhome2.items
cd ..
cd sitemaps
... Copy the myhome1 sitemap file to a new file myhome2.
--- Use your Raspberry Pi IP address if not '192.168.1.20'
.
. Now we have to create or edit the configuration files for 'myhome2' OpenHAB (sitemap and items).
. The examples below add one extra Outdoor 'Frame' which provides Temperature, Humidity and PIR Motion Detector.
See the "ESP8266 MQTT Sender" page for the new Printed Circuit Board and Arduino Software

.
Now we have to create or edit the configuration files for 'myhome9' OpenHAB (sitemap and items).
The examples below adds several extra sub-pages that provide a graphical display
of the persistent temperature and PIR reading. Each graph can be changed to
display one hour, four hours, 12 hours, one day or week.
