Ok so I think I got it working. Its almost perfect except the layout kinda sucks but here is what I have for anyone in the future:
-------------
rules file:
-------------
rule "Family Room"
when
Item Scene_FamilyRoom received command
then
var hsbOff = HSBType::fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
switch(receivedCommand){
case 1 : FamilyRoom_Switch.sendCommand(ON)
case 2 : FamilyRoom_Switch.sendCommand(OFF)
case 3 : FamilyRoom_Switch_Scene_A.sendCommand(ON)
case 4 : FamilyRoom_Switch_Scene_B.sendCommand(ON)
case 5 : FamilyRoom_Switch_Scene_C.sendCommand(ON)
case 6 : FamilyRoom_Switch_Scene_D.sendCommand(ON)
}
end
------------
sitemap
--------------
Frame label="Family Room1"{
Switch item=Scene_FamilyRoom label="FAMILY ROOM" mappings=[1="ON", 2="OFF", 3="A",4="B",5="C",6="D"]
}
-----------
items
-----------

I just got OpenHAB 2.1 up and running with my OPII. Not too bad, but it's a little cryptic to figure out how to add in the module and then connect to your panel. A quick how-to would go a long way to get others into this. With a proper Omni specific how-to, you could be up and running in 10 minutes.
After initial setup, I can easily control my lights & buttons through the web config interface, but what I really need is a good mobile interface. It looks like that is still a pretty manual process of setting up your "Items" file and then the "Sitemaps" file. Between buttons and units, I have over 100 items, so it's not a quick and easy thing to do.
OpenHAB really needs a quick way to do an initial "Items" and "Sitemap" setup and then allow you to modify it for groups/rooms, etc from there. That's really the only painful part of setting this up. Without the sitemap, the controls are boring and not grouped, but with a sitemap, the icons and groups will come into being a nicely organized (and very customizable) interface.
I've been running the old H@me app on my iPhones for years, but if I want to go to IOS 11+, I now need to give that app up. Looks like OpenHAB is going to be my replacement.
For those on the fence, download the OpenHAB mobile app (IOS or Android) and just run them in demo mode to see what is there. That's what got me looking at OpenHAB again. Installation on one of my servers was very easy. I really like how you just download the ZIP file and open to a directory of your choice. There is no real installation - you just use the self-contained directory structure that comes out of the ZIP file and fire it up. That makes it portable so that you can even move it between platforms on Windows, Linux or Mac with no installation (just move the folder structure).
edit: I think it would be appropriate to note that as people discuss OpenHAB, they should probably reference whether they are on version 1.x or 2.x. There seems to be many differences between the two and mostly from my learning is that much more can be done in 2.x without having to manually edit files to get there. That's probably a big benefit for new people to get up and running quickly.

Just lost a long post I was typing up. Summarizing is this:
OpenHAB isn't Haiku or even H@ME.
I have hours of configuration and only have three rooms and 20 buttons working.
Basic UI is very rudimentary and Paper UI doesn't work at all. With multiple more hours Im sure it could be better.
I am running 2.x btw but everything I do is file based.
I will have to invest probably another 4 weeks at 40 hours a week minimum to get it to be fair at best unfortunately but I am hopeful since my alternatives are limited.
Im starting to wonder if UPB can be sustained. If no one has noticed all of these LED lights with the built in drivers are a BIG problem for line noise. There isn't much that can be done about it either and I think few people notice or even care unless you are like us using some power line protocol.

Here are screenshots of my mobile app. The first two are the home screen, the third is a drill down of the grouped lights after clicking the "Lights" category, and the forth is the screen shot after clicking on the Family Room group under lights.

The organization (groups) and the icons for the lights are set up on the items file. Icons can also be set at the sitemap level as well. Here is my items file for my lighting. The top level of the item file is the "group" roll up. You'll see the group name listed by each item (by room name). The top group nests the lower groups.

Keep in mind the scene switches are not the way I want them. The example on the second screen shot will be what those will look like in the near future.
With the above item file I have the following sitemap. Again, the lights are just a group name, nothing complicated.
sitemap standard label="Miller Home (OH2)"{

This binding is extremely new so I have been working to figure out some of the things myself (like the scene switches).
Here are screenshots of my mobile app. The first two are the home screen, the third is a drill down of the grouped lights after clicking the "Lights" category, and the forth is the screen shot after clicking on the Family Room group under lights.

Keep in mind the scene switches are not the way I want them. The example on the second screen shot will be what those will look like in the near future.
With the above item file I have the following sitemap. Again, the lights are just a group name, nothing complicated.

This binding is extremely new so I have been working to figure out some of the things myself (like the scene switches).
My stuff doesn't render like that at all. As a matter of fact all my lights i got working on the basic ui don't work on the iphone. I hope this gets easier. Just figuring out the syntax is crazy! I guess its power makes it difficult because of all the options. I like your layout and might just steal it although I want to make it easier I think... Maybe I will find a developer on elance who has Openhab experience

Thank you - that helped with what I was trying to accomplish, but it had some side effects that were unwanted. When just declaring the group directive in the sitemap file, the order of the switches and scene entries were randomly displayed. They were not in the order that I listed them in the items file. I've decided on a hybrid approach where I'm doing the room groupings to get the "OR" status, but I'm still individually listing the items in the sitemap file. Seems like this gives a bit more control.
Here's the random layout:
And here's what it should be (rotated landscape to show full item text).
If yours isn't rendering properly, chances are either your items or sitemap file has errors and isn't being used. It took me a while to figure this out.heffneil said:My stuff doesn't render like that at all. As a matter of fact all my lights i got working on the basic ui don't work on the iphone.

My suggestion is to shutdown OpenHAB (logout), then delete or rename /userdata/logs/openhab.log, then do a restart on OpenHAB. After it is running, go look in the openhab.log file and see what error entries are there. You likely have something giving an error and it's then just ignoring your files.
Also, do you have your default sitemap entered under Paper-UI > Configuration > Services > Basic UI > Configure > Default Site Map ?
