OpenHab and the Adam 60xx module

Now that I have built a pretty good camera security system using the Milestone XProtect software and various IP cameras, I want to take things to the next level.

I have now successfully integrated an Adam 6052 module (Adam 6050 would work as well) with both the XProtect system and a new OpenHab system using the Modbus plugin for the later.  I have looked over multiple smart house technologies and at the moment the OpenHab software seems to be the most flexible and open for integration with multiple vendors.

With this integration I am now able to track when and for how long my doors are opened for using standard cheap NC wired sensors connected to the Adam module.

This was back on openhab 1. I'm not sure how you would do it on current versions of openhab, I haven't had the time to keep up with it.

Look up instructions for how to use the modbus plugin. I don't remember them being all that difficult to figure out.
