OpenHAB CULfw for Somfy RTS Rollershutters

Add-ons Bindings

Hi Ben,

with a couple of new additions I have a solution running just with a OpenHAB 2.2 / 2.3 instance.
Therefore I adapted a couple of things in the github repo mentioned above, packaged the binding and put it into the Eclipse marketplace: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/somfy-rts-cul-binding

The installation worked for me as follows:

  1. Install the binding into your OpenHab installation (see Distributing bindings through the IoT Marketplace)
  2. Add the appropriate things to your config (*.things)
somfycul:culdevice:cul [ port="/dev/ttyACM0" ]
somfycul:somfydevice:esslinks (somfycul:culdevice:cul)
  1. Add a rollershutter as a switch to your sitemap for programming the switch (*.items and *.sitemap)
Switch       Shutter_Ess_Links         "Eßzimmer links"  (somfyFF) {channel="somfycul:somfydevice:esslinks:program"}
  1. Set the rollershutter to programming mode via your remote (should go up and down slightly)
  2. Press the switch in your sitemap (the rollershutter should go up and down slightly for confirmation)
  3. Change the rollershutter in your items and sitemap to a rollershutter :wink: 
Rollershutter       Shutter_Ess_Links         "Eßzimmer links"  (somfyFF) {channel="somfycul:somfydevice:esslinks:position"}

This is how I set up all my rollershutters in my house now via a CUL.

Cheers
Daniel
