Bticino Binding

Documentation of the Bticino Binding Bundle

Introduction

The openHAB Bticino binding allows to connect to Bticino My Home Automation installations by OpenWebNet protocol. For example you can switching lights on and off, activating your roller shutters etc.

To access your Bticino My Home bus you either need an IP gateway (like e.g. the MH200N, F453, F454).

For installation of the binding, please see Wiki page Bindings.

Binding Configuration in openhab.cfg

# OpenWebNet gateway IP address / Hostname
bticino:webserver.host=

# OpenWebNet gateway Port (optional, defaults to 20000)
bticino:webserver.port=

# OpenWebNet bus status rescan interval (optional, defaults to 120 seconds)
bticino:webserver.rescan_secs=

A sample configuration could look like:

bticino:webserver.host=192.168.1.35
bticino:webserver.rescan_secs=3600

Bind Items to Bticino

Description

In order to bind an item to a Bticino device you need to provide configuration settings. The easiest way to do so is to add binding information in your 'item file' (in the folder configurations/items). The syntax for the Bticino binding configuration string is explained here:

bticino="if=webserver;who=<who>;what=<what>;where=<where>"
