Experimental Next-Gen Rule Engine

Eclipse SmartHome now comes with an initial version of a next-generation rule engine - this is available within openHAB 2 only as an experimental feature.

Note: If you use it, this is at your own risk. Especially, you should not expect any documentation besides what is available on the Eclipse SmartHome website.

Installation

Install the rule engine from Add-ons → Misc → Rule Engine (Experimental).
