Autodiscovery on openHAB 2.4+ about sonoff-basic-openhab HOT 6 CLOSED

i haven't worked with sonoff stuff and i have to admit, i have no idea what you're talking about :)
i vaguely understand that you adapted application for new their API version of the service, right?
if so, i think it's entirely appropriate for example to be converted to new API.

It is a bit more complicated.
Sonoff: the hardware, we discard everything else
openHAB: the Home Automation Bus. The brains.
Homie convention: a way to arrange MQTT topics in order for devices to be autodiscovered and handled with minimum coding.
(binding)API: both 1.x and 2.4+ can be used. The current example works on 1.x with no changes. It works also on 2.4+ with manual addition of the device (thing) and the communication flows (channels), and some changes to the items part of the example.
Some openHAB users still run the 1.x binding and don't care about auto-discovery, they will find the current example as just what they need. The modified version is useless for them.
Other users do enjoy autodiscovery and no manual configuration, they will find the modified version more fit and palatable. They can still use the current example though with some manual intervention and knowledge of the internals, and modifying the code as it is.
Hope the scenario is a bit clearer now, that is why I thought of something like a branch, or a new example linked to the current one.

ok, so sounds like 1.x api is not on its way out and you say that supporting both in the same app is tricky.
so, maybe create sonoff-basic-openhab2 for that? cross-reference the two from README and that's that. if you like, i can create sonoff-basic-openhab2 and give you admin rights so you can create and maintain it.

Oh, that would be great.

from sonoff-basic-openhab.

great. so i created https://github.com/mongoose-os-apps/sonoff-basic-openhab2 and added you as a maintainer. i also added you as a maintainer of this repo.
