Hi everyone,

I’m using OpenHabian on a RPi, and still on OH2, and done my config a while back, and using config files. I was able to find out the file where I need to add the binding, but can’t figure out the name of the binding for this : [TP-Link Smart Home - Bindings | openHAB](https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/tplinksmarthome/#tp-link-smart-home-binding)

Also, from what I unserstand, I need to install the beta one since I’m still on 2.X (can’t figure out what version I’m on), could someone throw me the big lines? Is it just a different string for the name, or do I have to download something (and if yes where to drop that)?

Thanks everyone

The name of the binding is `tplinksmarthome`. It was part of 2.X and you should be able to install it as other bindings. (depending on what openHAB version you are you have different devices supported.) In case you miss something and are one 2.5.x you could try the jar file in: [TP-Link Smarthome binding (Beta) [2.5.0;3.6.0)](https://community.openhab.org/t/tp-link-smarthome-binding-beta-2-5-0-3-6-0/130407) Put it in the addons directory (likely found here: [openHAB on Linux | openHAB](https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/linux.html#file-locations))

Thanks. I tried using the binding mentionned above, but it didn’t seem to work. My guess is that my model (KS230) is not supported by this version.

I tried removing the above binding from my config file and putting the jar file in the addon directory and got this message in the log.

Am I doing something wrong? Never user jar files before
