Hi there,

just being new to the oh2 world - i can’t get homematic binding (version 2.0.0) rund.

In the log everything seems fine:

Just installed habmin2. Cool piece of Software. But also in habmin2 i can Not find any homematic datapoint.

Cous anyone give me advice/a Short tutorial?

Hi Dominic,

for the Homematic item definition you need to three information:

The address of the device. You can find it in the Homematic Administration. Its identical to the serial
number of the devices.
The channel: most device provide different information and can execute different actions. Therefore you will also need the “channel”.
Parameter: this is the value that you want to query or set.

This is an example of the item definitions some devices that I am using to control my heating:

Number lrTemp "Current Temp [%.1f °C]" <temperature>  {homematic="address=MEQxxxxx, channel=4, parameter=ACTUAL_TEMPERATURE"} 
Number lrVentil "Ventilstand [%2d %%]" <slider> {homematic="address=MEQxxxxx, channel=4, parameter=VALVE_STATE"}
Number lrSollTemp "Solltemperatur [%.1f °C]" <test> {homematic="address=MEQ1xxxxxxx, channel=4, parameter=SET_TEMPERATURE"}
Contact lrWindow "Bath_Window [MAP(window.map):%s]"      <contact>   {homematic="address=MEQxxxxxx, channel=1, parameter=STATE"}

This manual contains a documentation of all devices http://www.eq-3.de/downloads.html?kat=download&id=90

Another way to get information about the installed devices chanels and parmeters is to install the XML-API extension on the CCU-2. Via the XML-API you can get a list of all devices together with the necessary information.

Is the terminology for the items derinition the same in openHAB2?

I can control my item via the Control-tab of the Paper UI. Using the item-definition of openHAB 1.7 and seting it up on the sidemap gives me a switch on the Basic UI but no reaction on the item.

Here the Log:

My Item:
Dimmer Light_Esstisch "Esstisch [%d %%]" <slider> {homematic="address=LEQ1234567, channel=1, parameter=LEVEL"}

…and my sitemap:
Slider item=Light_Esstisch

Any idea where the missing link is?

Ion3 · June 20, 2016, 9:35pm

Okay, got it solved. This is the item name. Now just the question: How to give it a speaking name?

The defined name of the item in Paper UI > Configuration > Things is not submitted.

The address address=LEQ1234567 in the item definition seems not to be enough to define the item.

MHerbst · June 21, 2016, 5:56pm

The binding seems to have some problems to get the correct names from the CCU and sometimes it gets the correct names but then forgets them.
That’s why I have created a .items file by hand with all my Homemtatic components. Unfortunately you will have to use the full name for the channel reference (like this one Number tempBalkon "Temperatur [%.1f °C]" <temperature> {channel="homematic:HM-WDS10-TH-O:40efc356:MEQ0202430:1#TEMPERATURE"}).
