## Bindings
|
|
|
|
Bindings are used to connect and control hardware and online services.
|
|
This section provides both official bindings from the **openHAB Distribution**, which have been thoroughly reviewed by the maintainers of openHAB, as well as bindings independently released by the community on the **Community Marketplace**.
|
|
If you want to know more about the marketplace, please read the following [Marketplace announcement](https://community.openhab.org/t/announcing-the-community-marketplace/127188).
|
|
|
|
To learn more how to install add-ons read the [Add-ons tutorial]({{base}}/configuration/addons).
|
|
|
|
## Automation
|
|
|
|
Automation provides technologies that allow you to write rules and scripts.
|
|
|
|
- **Languages & Technologies**<br>
|
|
openHAB comes with two languages by default: Rules DSL and Blockly (which requires a JavaScript Scripting automation add-on to be installed) while this section allows to install more languages and technologies.
|
|
To know more about them click on the respective tile.
|
|
|
|
- **Rule templates** provide you with solutions already written for certain usecases.<br>
|
|
Rule templates can be used when you have a common use case for a rule and for instance need to bootstrap several of them, or share with others how to solve that use case in a configurable manner.
|
|
These will appear in Main UI when you create a new rule, and will present you with the configuration parameters - after the rule is created, the pre-configured rule modules (triggers, conditions, actions) will appear based on your choices.
|
|
|
|
- **Block Libraries**: Community extensions to the [Blockly]({{base}}/configuration/blockly/) toolbox.<br>
|
|
These libraries extend the core blockly library with many useful blocks that might else be a bit too specific for the core block library or just fills the gap where a core block is still missing.
|
|
When installed they appear in a separate section beneath the core blocks of the blockly editor.
|
|
|
|
## User Interfaces
|
|
|
|
Community widgets & alternative frontends
|
|
|
|
- **Widgets for Main UI**: Extend your pages with these community-designed widgets.<br>
|
|
After adding a widget it can be used when creating UI page.
|
|
You can the press the "+" on a cell and a popup appears with two section: _Standard Library_, which contains the standard openHAB widgets and Personal Widgets, which contain UI widgets installed from the marketplace.
|
|
They can also be found for further adapting (or analyzing) the widget under "Developer Tools -> Widgets".
|
|
- **Other UI Add-ons**: Alternative user interfaces and icon sets.
|
|
|
|
