The **Semantic Model** is a way for you to group and categorize your openHAB Items to provide additional real-world relationships and information about them.
|
|
openHAB can use this information to automatically generate the location, equipment, and properties tabs of the home page.
|
|
|
|
Learn more about the semantic model in [the tutorial]({{base}}/tutorial/model.html).
|
|
|
|
Every semantic model object (location, equipment, or point) is just a regular openHAB Item with semantic tags and arranged in semantic groups.
|
|
It is important to note that not all of your Items need to be included in the semantic model.
|
|
For most systems it only makes sense to include these Items that users will interact with.
|
|
|
|
On this page you can manage your system's semantic model:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Add new Locations**<br>
|
|
Add group Items with semantic group tags to represent physical locations in and around your home.
|
|
- **Add new Equipment**<br>
|
|
Add group Items with semantic equipment tags to represent devices of interest to users in specific locations.
|
|
- **Add new Points**<br>
|
|
Add Items with semantic class and property tags to represent the actual information and interactions that users will need.
|
|
- **Bulk creation of Points**<br>
|
|
Create equipment directly from your Things with the desired Items for rapid building of a semantic model.
