Homematic Datapoints

Add-ons Bindings

Hey guys,

I searched the web and the openhab forum about a list or a documentation file for the various Homematic device datapoint and channels. But I wasn’t able to find anything beside the very basic eq3 document about the datapoints (Link). Would be nice to have a description for the Homematic binding datapoints… and what they do or describe.

Thank you guys.

Kind Regards,
Max

???

In your Link are ALL Datapoints … what you need more ?

3

Unfortunately not. There are a lot more in the openhab Homematic binding :confused:

4

In my opinion, the datapoints are pretty self-explanatory.

What are your questions?

5

No, how could there be more in Openhab Binding than “phylical” in the device?

Give an example of what’s in the Openhab Binding, which you will not find in the documentation.

6

For example there is no Maintenance channel in the documentation.

7

What is the Maintance Channel? What you mean? A Channel for Device Properties?

8

You are talking about these? (I’m using homegear, so the maintenance channel may differ from the CCU2.)

  • Battery Type …:0#BATTERY_TYPE (String)
  • Central Address Spoofed …:0#CENTRAL_ADDRESS_SPOOFED (String)
  • Config Pending …:0#CONFIG_PENDING (Switch)
  • Delete Device …:0#DELETE_DEVICE (Switch)
  • Delete Device Mode …:0#DELETE_DEVICE_MODE (String)
  • Device In Bootloader …:0#DEVICE_IN_BOOTLOADER (Switch)
  • Firmware …:0#FIRMWARE (String)
  • Inhibit …:0#INHIBIT (Switch)
  • Niedriger Batteriestatus …:0#LOWBAT (Switch)
  • Rssi …:0#RSSI (Number)
  • Rssi Device …:0#RSSI_DEVICE (Number)
  • Rssi Peer …:0#RSSI_PEER (Number)
  • Signalstärke …:0#SIGNAL_STRENGTH (Number)
  • Sticky Unreach …:0#STICKY_UNREACH (Switch)
  • Unreach …:0#UNREACH (Switch)
  • Update Pending …:0#UPDATE_PENDING (Switch)

I’m using:

  • RSSI
  • LOWBAT
  • UNREACH

Most of them are simple except maybe:

  • Central Address Spoofed …:0#CENTRAL_ADDRESS_SPOOFED (String) => the spoofed central address
  • Delete Device …:0#DELETE_DEVICE (Switch) => delete the device?
  • Delete Device Mode …:0#DELETE_DEVICE_MODE (String) => device is getting deleted
  • Device In Bootloader …:0#DEVICE_IN_BOOTLOADER (Switch) => device is in bootloader mode
  • Inhibit …:0#INHIBIT (Switch) => no idea what is inhibited
  • Update Pending …:0#UPDATE_PENDING (Switch) => an update is pending, maybe a pre state of #UNREACH?

@Max_Bec, I don’t see much use of those with openHAB, but i’m interested what you would like to achieve with these datapoints.

For example I would like to know whats the difference betweens these 4 datapoints.
Its not like there is a specific plan on what to do with these items… but rather the desire after having a kind of complete documentation on the home gear (which I use as well) datapoints.

But as it seems there is nothing like that :wink:

Rssi: overall rssi
Rssi device: in direction from device
Rssi peer: in direction from peer (base) .
Signal strength: same as rssi, but in the range 0-4, matches the widely used “bar” unit for mobile devices :smiley:
