@kjoglums is your source code somewhere on github? I checked https://github.com/kjoglum/openhab2-addons but I do not find free@home.
I want to check if I’m able to add news features
Yes, my source code is on github:
Hey everybody!
Firstly, a big shoutout to all the geniuses that created this wonderful and helpful binding!! Thanks a lot!!
I’m all new to openhab, as I was - like many others - looking for a way to control my free@home components in Apple Homekit.
I finally had time today and got most things working, but I have a problem with the windowcoverings / shutters (Raffstores/Jalousien). I can control them on the control screen in PaperUI and they are also shown in Apple Homekit by using the tag “WindowCovering” with the HomeKit Addon.
-
While the other items seem to connect correctly, the windowcoverings seem to have no connection. Only when I change the value on the control screen in PaperUI, the connection is established and I can alter the value in Homekit.
-
When I alter the values, I can see the change in the control screen in PaperUI, but the change is not communicated onto the hardware device.
Has anyone seen a similar behavior? I though of altering the item properties, because when I define the shutters as dimmers, it seems to work.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Hello,
today I tried to install the freeathome binding but I can’t get a connection to my SysAp.
I tried the version 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 from here.
The installed version:
- openhab 2.5.1.2
- SysAp 2.4.0
Can you help me?
I am running zip screens against centralized blinds actuator without problems. Unfamiliar with shutters, and how they are connected in your home…?
Have you followed steps described?
From openhab/karaf console, also try bundle:restart org.openhab.binding.freeathome
Also, for troubleshooting, would recommend to enable debugging log:set debug org.openhab.binding.freeathome and provide some logs here.
Guten Morgen!
Hab es nochmals probiert, aber ohne Erfolg.
ich bekomme folgende Log-Einträge:

From your logs, “Problems getting JID”, you are either not using an account known to F@H, or you do not have the correct gson version installed.
For the last case, from openhab/karaf console, run bundle:install http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/google/code/gson/gson/2.8.5/gson-2.8.5.jar
@kjoglums
Could you please recommend how to add Things from free@home manually?
I got Openhabian 1.5 / your Binding jar from latest message and SysAP 2.4.0.
Actually I’ve tried Windows OH 2.5.0 - result is same.
I got no separate switches/actuators discovered, Blinds and Lights (central function) general group. Groups of blinds are actually working (reacting to the pressing of buttons), but I need switch actuators (light) separately.
How can I add Light witches manually? Entering S/N also doesn’t create operable Thing (Tried Switch, Dimmer).
I guess there is some problem with binding of Free@Home and Openhab.
Thanks!
UPD:
When I select Dummy Thing option in Bridge configuration, - all available items are added as Dummy (all!). What is wrong, unsupported devices?

As you are getting dummy things in inbox just mean your devices are recognized by the binding, but apparently your device IDs are not following the regular F@H IDs which the binding use to define the devices as different OH type things.
Could you provide some details from your inbox to show the different dummy things showing up? And explain what each recognized thing represents? Getting the correct number codes associated with device type, I can easily (hopefully) add them to the binding to recognize correct type (e.g swtich, dimmer, motion detector etc).

I couldn’t attach my full list of units in free@home with Type of device, as I’m a new user, so I provide the link to XLS file:
https://fex.net/ru/s/sd6mpex
I got detected automatically only “Sensor/switch actuator” that comes with _chXXXX, the rest are Dummies, and in the bottom of the list, there are Sensors that were not detected even as Dummy.
Thank you in advance for helping out with the solution!
I would need the input as seen from PaperUI inbox, as the device serials are not used to define device type, rather the device type code. As seen from the example below, I have a Persienneaktuator which is automatically discovered by the binding. Here it is the type code “B001” which the binding use to define the device as “Raffstore switch”.
Similar, for a regular switch, the binding currently discovers switch types which have type codes “100C” and “900C”.
So I would need the different type codes from PaperUI inbox, and also what type of device the different type code equals to, in order to update the binding discovery service.
@kjoglums
I updated the table with type codes.
Please see here:
https://fex.net/ru/s/ymmfzce
Thank you in advance!
Although uncertain of what channels your devices actually operate under, I have tried to implement your device types into existing device types / discovery service (i.e. using channels as used by existing/known device types).
Feel free to test the new version:
Free@Home 2.5.2
Note:
If you are not able to operate your devices as expected, the binding would need to be updated based on actual channels in use for your devices. This would require using Postman to “get all” from your SysAp environment, i.e. as described for the ABB Developer Program.
@kjoglums
Thank you so much!
All things added successfully.
I don’t understand why state of switches (ON/OFF) is not saved.
I used Home Assistant as alternative, it was able to track the state of switches (though I did not manage to make binary sensors to work either…)
State for OH items are also saved if you are using a persistence service as mapdb
You´ll find mapdb for installation in PaperUI (addons).
Binary sensors are currently not implemented in the binding. Would require some input for used channels (idp/odp).
You mean physically? I’m not 100% sure, but each one is connected with three lines, one for up, one for down and one neutral.
No, I mean which type of actuator that is controlling your shutters (e.g centralized blinds actuator, switch actuator etc). Basically the device type / device type id as swowing up in PaperUI.
It could be your device/type is not supported by the binding.
I actually have
- 9x single raffstore switch actuators
- 3x centralized blinds actuators (each controlling up to 4 devices)
I actually just looked into PaperUI under Configuration - Things and saw, that all these have the status “Offline - Bridge_offline”. Does that help?
Here’s a screenshot:
Apparently both your things and bridge are OFFLINE, so then obviously you are not able to operate your shutters.
Do you have a different bridge as thing in PaperUI which is ONLINE? Then you need to point your OFFLINE things to the ONLINE bridge.
Or, if you do not have any ONLINE bridges, you would need to delete existing bridge, create a new bridge, and point your things to the new bridge.
