[Jesse Symons]

Hey guys my Current setup

Windows 10 - Open hab installed.
no raspberry pi.
Arduino nano - with serial gateway installed and connected to a com 4

node setup with relay actuator ID assign to 10

How do i get it connected to openhab? Any tutorials ? links etc?

i know i have to get it to configured to read the serial port i just want a simple on/ off relay.

Thanks in advance

however when i assign what states to do nothing happens

Switch Light_Outdoor_Garage "Garage" (Outdoor, Lights){ serial="COM4@115200" }

I'm not using windows10 however can you try Mysensors openHAB v1 binding or v2 whichever OH version you run. That way OH can understand serial api format, otherwise i think some rules should deployed to understand incoming serial messages.
Also it may be "user rights" thing. Does OH run as admin?
