Finally I am forced to implement the Ebus binding as I am not at home for the next weeks and I forgot to switch off my heating. I bought the esera usb interface a long time ago and set it up.
Now I have installed openhab on ubuntu and the latest ebus 2 binding.
Vaillant BAI00 (08) and Vaillant VRC 430(f)/470(f) (15) appear among other generic ebus things in my inbox. I can see that both things offer a lot of channels. One channel is
Global system off unfold_less
heating.status_global_system_off
Activation of operation mode system off
ebus:vrc430:9eee5b58:15:vrc430_heating_status-global-system-off#status-global-system-off content_copy
String
Now I can link this channel to an item:
Linked items
A
Activation of operation mode system off (VaillantVRC430F470F15_Vrc430_heating_statusGlobalSystemOff_ActivationOfOperationModeSystemOff)
When I use Paper Control I end up with that:
My question is: How shall I switch off my heating system ? The channel is a string not a switch.
I have read some of the threads but they deal with the configuration on a very deep level.
I could not find any documentation that deals with this basic kind of question.
