The Raspberry was still showing me the low power symbol (lightening symbol on the upper right corner) SOLUTION: I had to plug in the power supply to the micro USB power input on the Raspberry itself. The display is now powered via the jumper cables. The standard display case is also allowing for both micro USB power inputs to be used.

## Optional: Generic setup of Samba server on Raspbian
To have access to the Raspberry file system using the PC file explorer you have to install a Samba server on Raspbian. With the server installed you can map the selected folders (share) on your Raspberry as a network drive.
**NOTE:** Skip this section *to the end of this chapter*, if you only want to use the Samba server for openHAB2 purpose. You will find an openHAB2 centric installation guide later in this document.

**REMARK:** Yes, I know there are plenty of online documentation sites available, but the problem for me was the “plenty” part of it since I always had to go through plenty different websites to finally get the syntax right and make the rule do, what I wanted it to do.

Since rules cant be configured using the PAPER UI (stable version) you now have to go to the text files for now. For this part we will now use the Eclipse Smart Home Designer since it creates at least some syntax highlighting.
**REMARK:** You might find already some functionality about configuration of rules in the PAPER UI snapshot versions so there will be some changes in the way of doing rules more easily in the future. Also HABmin is providing some kind of graphical rule engine.

The rule is designed to switch ON/OFF the Singleswitch_01_Switch based on the illumination measured by the MultisensG5_01_SensorLuminance
The trigger value is set to 10 LUX
To prevent von switching on/off if the illumination is around 10 lumen and e.g. just a cloud is casting a temporarily shadow, there is a counter included which is measuring multiple times the illumination and only allows to triggering the switch if there reading is consistently (10 times) above or below the trigger value.
**NOTE:** Make sure you have create the item Counter_Item since its used in the rule (see: part “Creating an item the see the value of a variable of a rule online” in this chapter).
**REMARK:** This was done as some kind of coding and configuring HABPANEL exercise. You might get the same result in just checking the reading in a less frequent period, forget about the counter and just trigger the switch when the illumination reading is above or below the trigger value.
You can also use this Counter_Item to display some tendency whether your light is about to switch ON/OFF depending on the value of the Counter_Item on your dashboard. So if you play a little with the “knob” widget in HABPANEL it might look like this:
