The open Home Automation Bus (openHAB) is an open source, technology agnostic home automation platform which runs as the center of your smart home. Besides 150 other add-ons for all kinds of technologies, openHAB provides an [MQTT add-on](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/mqtt1/readme.html) ("binding") to interface with systems like Sonoff-Tasmota. The "open Home Automation Bus" (openHAB) is an open source, technology agnostic home automation platform which runs as the center of your smart home. Besides 150 other add-ons for all kinds of technologies, openHAB provides an MQTT add-on ("binding") to interface with systems like Sonoff-Tasmota.
## openHAB Integration ## openHAB Integration
After activating the MQTT binding and MQTT action, simply set up items for all Sonoff-Tasmota MQTT topics you are interested in. Examples are given below. Some Sonoff-Tasmota topics are JSON encoded. The `JSONPATH` transformation can be used to extract this data. By following the guide below you'll be able to observe, control and manage your Sonoff modules from your openHAB system. If you are new to openHAB, please learn about the basic concepts and the initial setup. The below article will not cover any basics which are out of scope to the Sonoff-Tasmota integration.

*Preparation:* Install the MQTT Binding and MQTT Action, e.g. through openHAB Paper UI. ### Requirements
* Working openHAB installation (http://docs.openhab.org)
* Configured Sonoff-Tasmota module (i.e. Sonoff-Tasmota webpage accessible from your local network)
* MQTT broker available (e.g. Eclipse Mosquitto via [openHABian](http://docs.openhab.org/installation/openhabian.html)), a [basic understanding of MQTT](http://www.hivemq.com/blog/mqtt-essentials)
* Working and tested connection between openHAB and the MQTT broker
* (optional) Standalone [MQTT client](http://www.hivemq.com/blog/seven-best-mqtt-client-tools) (e.g. [mqtt-spy](https://kamilfb.github.io/mqtt-spy)) to observe and identify messages on the MQTT broker
Before continuing, please make sure you assigned unique MQTT topics in the configuration interface of each Sonoff module. The default MQTT topic is "sonoff", in the examples below we will use names like "sonoff-A00F9D". To better understand what's going on behind the scene and to be able to troubleshoot, use an [MQTT client](http://www.hivemq.com/blog/seven-best-mqtt-client-tools) in parallel. Before continuing, please make sure you assigned **unique MQTT "Topics"** in the Sonoff-Tasmota configuration interface of each Sonoff module. The default MQTT topic is "sonoff", in the examples below we will use names like "sonoff-A00F9D".
If not done yet, you first need to **install and activate** the [MQTT binding](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/mqtt1/readme.html), the [MQTT action](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/actions/mqtt/readme.html) and the [JsonPath transformation](http://docs.openhab.org/addons/transformations/jsonpath/readme.html), e.g. via the openHAB Paper UI Add-ons section.
### Integration
Simply **set up items** for all Sonoff-Tasmota [MQTT topics](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/MQTT-Features) you are interested in. Examples for most needed topics are given below. Some Sonoff-Tasmota topics are JSON encoded, the `JSONPATH` transformation can be used to extract this data.

These messages are transformed to a valid `ON`/`OFF` state by the MAP transformation.
