I have got some vacation hacking time, so I have also added an other HomeItem on a user request. A number of users use OpenNetHome partly as a GUI front end for their own implemented hardware, which is exactly what one of the goals with the project is. In this case the user had connected a number of relays which are controlled via shell scripts, and wanted them to be presented as Lamps in the GUI.
I added the CustomLamp-Item, which behaves like a lamp, but you can configure the on- and off-actions in the Item. Those actions can be to call actions in other Items or as in this case to call external shell scripts.
The CustomLamp-Item is in the nightly build
