Openhabian
OpenHABian is OpenHAB's linux based software. It is what will detect all the items and things, and when put in a side map will also display them. With OpenHABian, you can either program, or display in their different panels. For example paper UI is a programming/installation panel, whilst HABpanel is a display panel. Using this we will be able to make our rules, but also manual control our smart home
