# OpenHab

In order to connect an [IoT device](/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/hardware-setup/iot.md) to your setup, you will have to install additional software on your machine. If you decided to work with Conbee II Zigbee gateway to connect your [IoT ](/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/hardware-setup/iot.md)devices, below you will find a fast guide on how to connect it.

## **OpenHab**

OpenHab is a software for home automation, that lets you use IoT devices (Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiFi).

1. Install java (at least v11): <https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk#download-openjdk>
2. Check the version of java: "cmd"➝ "java -version"
3. Set up environmental variables:
   1. Open **Control Panel** and go to **System and Security** → **System**.
   2. Click **Advanced system settings**.

   4. In the **System Variables** area, select the `Path` environment variable and click **Edit**.
   5. In the dialog that opens, add the `bin` folder of your Azul Zulu installation (the directory where you unpacked the `.zip` file). Make sure the `bin` folder is placed at the top of the list
4. Go to <https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/> and download
5. Launch the runtime by executing the script `C:\openHAB\start.bat` and wait a while for it to start and complete.
6. Point your browser to [`http://localhost:8080`](http://localhost:8080). You should be looking at the openHAB page requesting you to set up an administrator username and password.
7. In order to run it on windows startup: follow instructions: <https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/windows.html>

## [dEConz app - make your Conbee II work](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/deconz/)

1. instal dEConz app and go online (<http://192.168.8.104>)
2. Creat account and logi to the app
3. In order to make it work with OpenHab:
   1. download DeConz app in OpenHab
   2. in DeConz online app go to: settings➝gateway➝authenticate app
   3. Click "authenticate app"
4. In order for automation to work dEConz app should be ON all the time.

## **Troubleshooting**

1. In case Conbee II cannot connect (contanair error): open openHAB in you browser➝ pause and play deCONZ (conbee II app)

{% hint style="warning" %}
In order to prepare and run the automation with IoT device go to our [Discord group](https://discord.gg/wK9Xj2CwqX) and ask on how to create a script, as this is very case-sensitive.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.virbe.ai/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/hardware-setup/operating-system/windows/openhab.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
