Purpose of this project

This project provides a bridge to connect a NSPanel with nspanel-lovelace-ui to openHAB. It bridges the nspanel-lovelace-ui MQTT commands and messages to the REST-API of openHAB

Note: As an alternative HMI you can also use also the HMI from this fork ioBroker.nspanel-lovelace-ui. The support is still experimental.

Highlight features:

Full control of openHAB Items over the nspanel-lovelace-ui in your NsPanel flashed with tasmota.
Dynamic configuration of nspanel-lovelace-ui pages over yaml files.
Support of multiple panels in different rooms with individual start pages and screensavers.
Control the content of your panel with openHAB rules (switch between cards, show warnings, lock the panel in your absense, set screen and screensaver brightness,...)
Show puplic transport departures for all stations in germany based on opendata-oepnv.de with the special card type: cardDepartures

Bonus features:

Translation of the UI elements in your prefered language with the translate.json file.
Control of the overall look and feel with skin.json file. For example: Used standard icons, weather to icon mapping etc.
