How to Install OpenHAB2
1.Update your Raspberry Pi first
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get upgrade
2.Install MQTT ( mosquitto ) on Raspberry Pi
First get
the repository package signing key, import it into apt, and remove the key file
after adding,
sudo wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
sudo rm mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
Then make
the mosquitto repository available to apt:
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-jessie.list
sudo apt-get update
Now we can
install the core packages (server &
clients):
sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients
3.Package Repository Installation
Now is Beta Release
Add the openHAB 2 Beta repository to your systems
apt sources list (will overwrite
your existing openhab2.list):
echo
'deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list
Additionally, you need to add the openHAB 2 Bintray
repository key to your package manager:
wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
4.Install add-ons
The offline distribution is full blown and comes with all add-ons
sudo apt-get
install openhab2-offline
158 MB. take a time. Relax !
It take 1h 5min 2s ( Thailand only )
5.Start System Service
Start openHAB and register it to be automatically executed at system startup.
sudo systemctl start
openhab2.service
sudo systemctl status
openhab2.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable
openhab2.service
Open Web browser goto http://your raspberry pi ip address:8080
Now Install already.
Then your must config some file for set your smart home automation system.
