OHR :: OpenHAB Reporter

This is the wiki of the OpenHAB Reporter (winnall/ohr), referred to in the following as "OHR".

OHR is intended to help document an OpenHAB installation, which it does in its initial incarnation by parsing OpenHAB's JSON database and generating a file tree suitable for use in a Dokuwiki. The file tree consists of two categories of files:

• "auto" files, containing information gleaned from from OpenHAB's JSON database; and
• various templates, which are intended to be edited by users with their own remarks and observations about their OpenHAB installation.

If you create a file tree with OHR, you can re-run OHR at a later date with the same file tree as a target, and OHR will only overwrite the "auto" files. All the other files, which you may well have edited with important information, are left unchanged. Of course, as you are doubtless well aware, the combination of computers, networks, software and humans is highly explosive, so you would be well advised to create a backup before re-running OHR in this way.

All "auto" files contain the word "auto" in their name, e.g. "auto.txt", "auto-svg.txt", etc.
