# openHAB Cloud Connector
|
||||
|
||||
The openHAB Cloud Connector allows connecting the local openHAB runtime to a remote [openHAB Cloud](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-cloud/blob/master/README.md) instance, such as [myopenHAB.org](https://www.myopenHAB.org), which is an instance of the
|
||||
openHAB Cloud service hosted by the [openHAB Foundation](https://www.openhabfoundation.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
The openHAB Cloud service (and thus the connector to it) is useful for different use cases:
|
||||
|
||||
* It allows remote access to local openHAB instances without having to expose ports to the Internet or to require a complex VPN setup.
|
||||
* It serves as a connector to Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) and Apple Push Notifications (APN) for pushing notifications to mobile phone apps.
|
||||
* It brings integration possibilities with services that require an OAuth2 authentication against a web server, such as IFTTT or Amazon Alexa Skills.
|
||||
|
||||
## UUID and Secret
|
||||
|
||||
To authenticate with the openHAB Cloud service the add-on generates two values when the add-on is installed.
|
||||
These values need to be entered in your account settings of the openHAB Cloud service.
|
||||
The first one is a unique identifier, which allows to identify your runtime.
|
||||
One can think of it as something similar like a username for the cloud authentication.
|
||||
The second one is a random secret key which serves as a password.
|
||||
Both values are written to the local file system.
|
||||
If you loose these files for some reason, openHAB will automatically generate new ones.
|
||||
You will then have to reconfigure UUID and secret in the openHAB Cloud service under the _My account_ section.
|
||||
|
||||
Location of UUID and Secret:
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Regular Installation | APT Installation |
|
||||
|--------|------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|
||||
| UUID | userdata/uuid | /var/lib/openhab2/uuid |
|
||||
| Secret | userdata/openhabcloud/secret | /var/lib/openhab2/openhabcloud/secret |
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
After installing this add-on, you will find configuration options in the Paper UI under _Configuration->Services->IO->openHAB Cloud_:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Please note, that you should not expose all your items in this settings dialog.
|
||||
Also note that at present this feature is currently turned off.
|
||||
You just need to expose those items, which you want to be accessible by IFTTT.
|
||||
This setting has no affect on Alexa or Google Assistant functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can configure the settings in the file `conf/services/openhabcloud.cfg`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
