***  Example OpenHAB configuration ***

 *  1. Create a "things" file for the MQTT broker as (OpenHAB configuration directory)/things/mymqtt.things:
 *     - https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/things.html
 
Bridge mqtt:broker:mymqtt "My MQTT" [host="MQTT broker IP address or hostname"]

 *  2. Create a "things" file for the security system as (OpenHAB configuration directory)/things/vista.things:
 
Thing mqtt:topic:mymqtt:vista "VISTA Security System" (mqtt:broker:mymqtt) @ "Home" {
    Channels:
        Type string : system_message "System" [stateTopic="vista/Get/SystemStatus"]
        Type switch : system_armed_away "System Armed Away" [stateTopic="vista/Get/SystemStatus", commandTopic="vista/Set/Cmd", on="A", off="D"]
        Type switch : system_armed_stay "System Armed Stay" [stateTopic="vista/Get/SystemStatus", commandTopic="vista/Set/Cmd", on="S", off="D"]
        Type switch : system_alarm "System Alarm" [stateTopic="vista/Get/SystemStatus", on="T", off="D"]
        Type switch : system_fire "System Fire" [stateTopic="vista/Get/Fire", on="1", off="0"]
        Type switch : panel_online "Panel Online" [stateTopic="vista/Get/Status", on="online", off="offline"]
        Type switch : panel_trouble "Panel Trouble" [stateTopic="vista/Get/Trouble", on="1", off="0"]
        Type contact : zone1 "Zone 1" [stateTopic="vista/Get/Zone/1", on="1", off="0"]
        Type contact : zone2 "Zone 2" [stateTopic="vista/Get/Zone/2", on="1", off="0"]
        Type contact : zone3 "Zone 3" [stateTopic="vista/Get/Zone/3", on="1", off="0"]
}

*   3. Create an "items" file for the security system as (OpenHAB configuration directory)/items/vista.items:
*      - https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/items.html
