I troubleshot my "suspect" DOA....even power on without anything connected/installed to observe changes...My monitor "unknowing" to me being a DVI Spectre with a HDMI adapter is UNSUPPORTED CONFIGURATION....make that known!!!!! 72 frustrating hours of T-shooting...only to find out it was a "technician troubleshooting 101"error
Look at your router's DHCP leases to determine the IP address of the unit.
What I have read the openhab OS is not truly headless, as there is a console output to HDMI (no GUI).
and also the other threads I've read correlate with your findings of HDMI incompatibility being a significant issue (and this is the issue that I face)
