The first part of this guide focuses specifically on how to get OpenHAB setup with a Raspberry Pi 2, but further on, the tutorials and advice can be applied to anywhere OpenHAB is installed.

This guide covers three introductory topics, and one slightly more advanced.

• Getting OpenHAB up and running on the Pi, and installing the demo house configuration to check core systems are working.

• How to add bindings, and profiles for devices. I’ll be working with Philips Hue.

• Enabling remote access, and connecting to IFTTT.

• Adding a DIY presence sensor using Bluetooth, and an introduction to the REST interface.

• Configuring the OpenHAB mobile app.
