Overview

A thing builder allows you to dynamically create openHAB things at runtime. This can be useful either to create things as soon as the script loads, or even later based on a rule executing.

Examples:

Create a Thing from the Astro Binding

things.build do
  thing "astro:sun:home", "Astro Sun Data", config: { "geolocation" => "0,0" }
end

Create a Thing with Channels

thing_config = {
  availabilityTopic: "my-switch/status",
  payloadAvailable: "online",
  payloadNotAvailable: "offline"
}
things.build do
  thing("mqtt:topic:my-switch", "My Switch", bridge: "mqtt:broker:mosquitto", config: thing_config) do
    channel("switch1", "switch", config: {
      stateTopic: "stat/my-switch/switch1/state", commandTopic: "cmnd/my-switch/switch1/command"
    })
    channel("button1", "string", config: {
      stateTopic: "stat/my-switch/button1/state", commandTopic: "cmnd/my-switch/button1/command"
    })
  end
end

Create a Thing within a Bridge

things.build do
  bridge "mqtt:broker:mosquitto", config: { host: "127.0.0.1", enableDiscovery: false } do
    thing "mqtt:topic:window1", "My Window Sensor" do
      channel "contact1", "contact", config: {
        stateTopic: "zigbee2mqtt/window1/contact",
        on: "false",
        off: "true"
      }
    end
  end
end

items.build do
  contact_item Window1_Contact, channel: "mqtt:topic:window1:contact1"
end

Create a Thing separately from the Bridge

things.build do
  bridge = bridge "mqtt:broker:mosquitto", config: { host: "127.0.0.1", enableDiscovery: false }

  thing "mqtt:topic:window1", "My Window Sensor", bridge: bridge do
    channel "contact1", "contact", config: {
      stateTopic: "zigbee2mqtt/window1/contact",
      on: "false",
      off: "true"
    }
  end
end
