Unique ID of Thing openHAB












0















I just started working in openHAB and was wondering if there was an API to get the MAC-address of an item or some other unique ID that will not change if I for example disconnect/delete the device and reconnect it.



I want the unique ID so that I can put the Thing in a database without it creating a duplicate in case it disconnects or I delete the device.
