    Introduction

    OpenHAB and Home Assistant platforms are supported for text-based configuration.

    Please note that text-based configuration is an experimental feature. Syntax is subject to change without backward compatibility at this stage.

    Configuration

    Config file

    Home Assistant
    <hass>/www/projectrotini.json
    
    OpenHAB 1.x
    <openhab>/webapps/static/projectrotini.json
    
    OpenHAB 2.x
    <openhab>/conf/html/projectrotini.json
    

    Text-based configuration will be automatically loaded from a JSON configuration file after either a platform has been added to the app.

    Config file will be reloaded every 10 minutes or after the app is restarted.

    Dashboards

    Example config
    {
      "dashboards": {
        "home": {
          "columns": 8,
          "rows": 6,
          "pages": [
            {
              "label": "Home",
              "icon": "home",
              "widgets": [
                {
                  "type": "clock",
                  "position": {
                    "x": 0,
                    "y": 0,
                    "width": 2,
                    "height": 1
                  }
                }
              ]
            },
            {
              "label": "Living Room",
              "icon": "sofa",
              "widgets": []
            },
            {
              "label": "Bedroom",
              "icon": "bed",
              "widgets": []
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
    

    Configuration must contain a dashboards property with a set of dashboard configs. Each dashboard can have up to 10 pages with at most 10 rows and columns per page.

    Properties icon and label from the first page will be used as name of a dashboard in the app.

    Layout

    Example config
    {
      "type": "clock",
      "position": {
        "x": 0,
        "y": 0,
        "width": 2,
        "height": 1
      }
    }
    
    Shorthand notation
    {
      "type": "clock",
      "position": "0-0,2-1"
    }
    

    Each dashboard page is laid out in a grid. Widget configuration determines its position on a page.

    Position should be specified as position property in a widget config.

    Bindings

    Example config
    {
      "type": "switch",
      "position": "0-0,1-1",
      "properties": {
        "label": "Bedroom",
        "icon": "lamp",
        "state": {
          "binding": "Light_Bedroom"
        }
      }
    }
    

    Some widget properties can be bound to an item. Binding is created by placing binding config with an item name as a value of a property.

    In this example, switch state is bound to a Light_Bedroom item.
