Orange Pi 3 LTS with Openhab2

[vettel]

I want to buy an Orange Pi 3 LTS with wifi to use Openhab2, but I'm not sure if it will work, because the Openhab website does not list this model as supported. Tell me, has anyone tried using this Orange Pi 3 LTS and Openhab2 compatibility?

Those are instructions for running OpenHab2 on Armbian (any hardware. I run it on Nanopi K1+ for years)

https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/armbian.html
We even run automated tests to make sure it installs well.

A software developed in Java runs ... anywhere. Why would they need to "support" some particular board if their line of focus is elsewhere.

 

You only need to ask if this boards is suitable? Yes, its fine for the job. WiFi is a bit on the problematic side as it uses chip which driver is not in perfect condition (remember chip crisis era) and there is little that will be changed. Still, it will probably serve the purpose just fine (it works for me well, but some people report troubles with wifi) and in worse case scenario you can mitigate with some USB module. But I am almost sure you won't needed that. The rest is just fine.

Thank you very much for the quick and informative response! Yes, I heard about problems with Wifi, as a last resort I will connect by wire. It was important for me to hear that openhab will run on this model. Thank you, I will master armbian and Orange Pi 3 LTS.
