Hi,

I see that it is possible to send a item state via http command:

http://<openhab-host>:8080/CMD?<item>=<state>

Which module (bundle) execute this command?

Thx

The CMD servlet is part of the Classic UI (which was implemented before the REST API even existed). It is not meant to be used by anybody else, you should refer to the REST API instead.

Does it means that this option is depreciated or is it supported with the REST API (I didn't find in the REST API this option).

My question is because the amazon echo hab uses this capability ..,

That option is part of the Classic UI and so not really part of the core framework.
Have a look here: http://demo.openhab.org:9080/doc/index.html#!/items/postItemCommand

I would suggest using the REST API. For instance, an easy starting point would be using Postman and starting with a GET request pointing to http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/ (in case you have activated the according REST bundle and you use the standard configuration). Here you get an overview where you can easily navigate through the REST API up to a single item and its state while clicking the links. Hope that helps, Sascha. P.S.: Most likely you must activate CORS in your git\smarthome\distribution\smarthome\conf\smarthome.cfg file.
