I assume this will require a new openhab binding?
Yes.
The negative point is, that the protocol has been changed from AJAX to SLIP (RFC 1055). Therefore this will
lead to a changed binding.
The positive point is, that there are a lot of different methods which will extend the functions of the binding.

Looking forward to this new API
Hi
I’ve just dropped your V2.3 snapshot Binding into the Addons folder (alongside another binding), but nothing appears in PaperUI.
Do I need to do something more than just add the jar file?
Your GitHub page mentions a config file with parameters, but there isn’t an example file for me to start from.
Cheers,
Stuart
Update
I’ve just reread the whole thread and now have a better understanding of the changes.
I’m happy to wait as long as needed 
Good luck
This is probably the best thread to use:
As for you question. I have no idea… I just searched for my cfg file, but I cant find it… I wonder how the heck I manaed to get it to work. It´s still working though.

Ahh… I think you can add the KLF200 manually… If you got the binding installed, go to Things (In paperUI), and add it manually, by pressing the + and choose Velux… Add your KLF200 in there.
Hi
That’s the part that’s causing the issue.
I see all other bindings, but not the Velux one.
I’ve tried both V2.3 & V2.4
As well as a OpenHab2 restart
Hmm so you havn´t got the binding installed!
I remember having the same issue first time. I had to download it again (using another way of downloading), cause the jar file was somehow corrupt. After that, the binding installed just fine and have been working ever since. (I think I wrote a message about it in the other Velux binding thread).
I recall reading someone runing openhab ina docker having problems as well. I´m using an RPi running the apt-get openhabian (hasslefree). 2.3.0 stable.

Arrrr okay 
That’s easy to try 
FYI
Previously, I simply used the wget method direct to the GitHub file
Update
This seems to be the problem.
If I issue
wget https://github.com/gs4711/org.openhab.binding.velux/blob/master/org.openhab.binding.velux-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
I get a 34KB file.
If I follow that link in a browser, it downloads a jar file of 94KB.
So…
I issued
wget https://github.com/gs4711/org.openhab.binding.velux/blob/master/org.openhab.binding.velux-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar?raw=true
But I get a 94KB file, with this filename
org.openhab.binding.velux-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar?raw=true
I’ll rename it and see what happens…
That’s fixed it
Thanks for your help
Lesson learnt… Check the file size of downloaded files
Yeah I´d struggle with that as well… Dont know why it happened.
At least you got it working.

Hi Stuart,
I share you my configuration
I followed the quick start https://github.com/gs4711/org.openhab.binding.velux, and the velux binding is working great.

Copyed de binding with windows explorer: \openHAB-share\openhab2-addons\org.openhab.binding.velux-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Is it possible to detect the status of a windows? (open, closed, 50%,…)
Or can we track wat was the latest command, like open window 100%
Thanks
Hi klf200developer,
Those are quite awesome news !
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to playing with it 
From what I have read in the API, this will be real fun and expose a lot of things we have been looking for.
So my KLF200 is not useless anymore
Will you be exposing the config interface via ethernet in the future again ?
I just wanted to play with it but noticed that after I open the port once, the orange LED turns on and the port is closed and does not re-open again.
I nmap’ed the KLF200…
Rebooting the device gives an open port again; but then the same happens.
This is weird and I am wondering if this is a bug or intended @klf200developer ?
Thanks
Hi
We are now ready with our public API site for KLF200.
I hope you will find it usefull.

Hi sim0nx
- Right now and in the future I can see, we have configuration web page in KLF200 as http on WiFi. But all you can don on that web page you can also do with the API in wiren LAN.
- Can you come a little closer. You connect to port 51200 socket, and then do? The LED you mention, is that on LAN connector?
Hi klf200developer,
Ok that’s fine I guess.
I do a simple nmap port scan:
nmap -vvv -n -Pn 192.168.1.14 -p 51200
So I just test if that port is open.
If I now reboot my device, LED on top is green. I try that, port is open, all good.
Then the LED turng orange (on top of the device).
Now if I do the same test again, port is closed and stays closed until I reboot it again.
Either there is a problem with my device (latest firmware), or it does not like me opening the port without initiating a real session ?
I am happy to debug this if you tell me how (beta firmware is no problem either, just sayin…).
Thank you
