1.0.0

• Initial Creation

Configuration

The workflow initializes itself if no Workflow Environment Variables were set inside the workflow settings in Alfred before the first execution. (See Using Variables in Workflows for more details)

The following variables have to be set according to the Openhab installation:

• OH_HOST = IP Address of Openhab
• OH_PORT = Port on which Openhab is running
• OH_USER = User for Openhab (Empty if no Password)
• OH_PASSWORD = Password for Openhab (Empty if no Password)

Own Switches can also be added through the Alfred settings. The Name of the variable in the Alfred settings will be the Label which is later shown in the alfred dialog and the Value has to match to an itemname which has to be present in your Openhab sitemap.

If no items are configured, the default sitemap will be scanned for all available switch items which are then added automatically.

TODO's

• Load the Label of the items from the sitemap
• Support for other Items (e.g. Dimmer, ColorPicker, ...)
