openHAB 5.1.0

This is the official release of openHAB 5.1.0.

The binaries are available on our download page and via "Stable" on our APT repository.

New and Noteworthy

The openHAB 5.1 release is a feature release that contains many new features, enhancements and bug fixes, both for the core runtime and for many add-ons. You can find the most relevant ones listed in detail below.

Please also note our release blog post, which describes the major new features in depth.

openHAB 5.1 is backward compatible to openHAB 5.0 setups, though there are a few exceptions where manual action is required to adapt an existing setup, so please carefully check the section on breaking changes. It is especially important to know that openHAB 5.x requires Java 21, so in case you are coming from a 4.x installation and haven't yet upgraded, this is mandatory.

Quick links:
