Hi,

it depends on what kind of application you want build. An own Smart Home solution? open source or commercial?

The openHAB2 project is one example for an open source solution (https://github.com/openhab/openhab2). Some topics which are relevant for Smart Home solutions are not covered by Eclipse SmartHome - like Gateway management and backend communication. But the Eclipse IoT Project (http://iot.eclipse.org/) provides good examples how to combine different Frameworks to an IoT application.

Regards

Dennis

Thx for your reply

I am checking the option to use part of the SmrtHome framework for my project. Mainly I want the following (core) parts: Thihngs, automation, persistence.

I am not interested at this stage with cloud, restapi (etc) and the smarthome ui.

I also try to understand if it is possible to use the core features without bundles.

I know that i have "strange" requirements but I ma trying not to write my project from scratch and to gain some benfit from the open source.

Eclipse SmartHome is very modular. So you can use the core parts without the other bundles. The smallest subset, that should work independently are the following bundles (and its dependencies):

org.eclipse.smarthome.config.core
org.eclipse.smarthome.core
org.eclipse.smarthome.core.library
org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing

The current rule engine has dependencies to Xtext, which again has a lot of dependencies. But in the next months there will be a complete new rule engine with less dependencies.
