Documentation of the HomeMatic binding bundle
HomeMatic Binding

Introduction

For installation of the binding, please see Wiki page Bindings.

Hardware

See Homematic-Controller for details about controller hardware like CCU.

HomeMatic Binding Configuration

openhab.cfg

The following config params are used for the HomeMatic binding.

  • homematic:host Hostname / IP address of the HomeMatic CCU
  • (optional) homematic:callback.host Hostname / IP address for the callback server. This is normally the IP / hostname of the local host (but not "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"). If not present, it is auto discovered. Will print out an warning / error if not successful.
  • (optional) homematic:callback.port Port number for the callback server. Defaults to 9123.

Example

######################## HomeMatic Binding ###########################

# Hostname / IP address of the HomeMatic CCU
homematic:host=homematic

# Hostname / IP address for the callback server (optional, default is auto-discovery)
# This is normally the IP / hostname of the local host 
# (but not "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"). 
homematic:callback.host=laptop-dell-linux

# Port number for the callback server. (optional, defaults to 9123)
homematic:callback.port=9123

Generic Item Binding Configuration

Items

General format (since 1.3):

homematic="{<device config>}"

The device config consists of several name/value pairs seperated by a equal sign ("="). The format is derived from the JSON format.

Normal parameters:

id=<physicalDeviceAddress / serial number>, channel=<channel in the devices>, parameter=<parameterKey>. 

Advanced parameters:

converter=<Class name of the converter to use>, admin: For admin commands.

Device Configuration Files

See Device Configuration Files for details about the device xml files.

About the Documentation

The information at each value in brakets is: (<item type>, <unit>, <min/max or possible values>)

For the German CCU users: Die Physical Device Address findet man in der CCU als Seriennummer. Zum Beispiel im Menü aus Einstellungen -> Geräte. Dann hat man eine gute Übersicht über alle Devices.

Supported Datapoints

The current binding does support the following datapoint: PRESS_LONG, PRESS_LONG_RELEASE, TEMPERATURE, PRESS_SHORT, HUMIDITY, LEVEL, STATE, BRIGHTNESS, MOTION, SETPOINT, VALVE_STATE, STOP, WORKING, INSTALL_TEST, PRESS_CONT, ERROR, UNREACH, LOWBAT, MODE_TEMPERATUR_VALVE

A documentation which device is proving which datapoint, please check the documentation from eQ3: http://www.eq-3.de/Downloads/PDFs/Dokumentation_und_Tutorials/HM_Script_Teil_4_Datenpunkte_1_503.pdf

Remote Controls

Supported Devices:

  • HM-RC-4
  • HM-PBI-4-FM
  • HM-RC-P1
  • HM-PB-2-WM
  • HM-PB-2-WM55
  • HM-SwI-3-FM
  • BidCoS-RF:1 - BidCoS-RF:50 (Virtual Keys of the CCU)
  • HM-PB-4DIS-WM

Valid parameter keys:

  • PRESS_SHORT: The button was pressed short (Switch, pressed=Update to ON)
  • PRESS_LONG: The button was pressed or released (Switch, pressed=Update to ON, released=Update to OFF).
  • PRESS_CONT: Every few ms this is updated to ON while the long press button is pressed. Useful e.g. for dimming. (Switch, button still pressed=Update to ON)

= Trouble Shoot =

If the button is not working and you do not see any PRESS_LONG / SHORT in your log file (when started in debug mode), it could be because of enabled security. Try to disable security of your buttons in the HomeMatic Web GUI and try again. If you can't disable security (e.g. HM-SwI-3-FM) try to use key INSTALL_TEST which gets updated to ON for each key press (Switch, pressed=Update to ON)

= Examples =

Switch LivingRoom_RC_One_Left    "Living Room Light Sofa INCREASE" <rollershutter> (LivingRoom, Light) {homematic="id=IEQ0035141, channel=1, parameter=PRESS_SHORT"}

= Examples =

Roller Shutter Actors

The roller shutter support is still not really usable. It mainly mapps to the wrong direction: 100% in homematic is 0% in openHAB which makes all widgets very unusable!

Supported Devices:

  • HM-LC-Bl1-FM
  • HM-LC-Bl1PBU-FM
  • HM-LC-Bl1-SM

Valid parameter keys:

  • LEVEL: The roller shutter level (Rollershutter, Unit=Percentage, 0%=OPEN, 100%=CLOSED, stop=STOP, move again=MOVE).

NOTE: It is a known bug that the direction is incorrect, i.e. if you move your shutter down, it goes up and vice versa. This is due to the fact that HomeMatic defines 100% as "up" while for openHAB 100% means "down". This will be dealt with in the next release.

= Examples =

Rollershutter LivingRoom_Rollershutter	    "Living Room Roller Shutter Level [%d %%]" <rollershutter> (LivingRoom, Rollershutter) {homematic="id=JEQ0299993, channel=1, parameter=LEVEL"}

Detect Low Battery

Sensors and actors usually provide a datapoint called LOWBAT which can be used if to bind an item.

= Examples =

Switch Lowbat_GF_Living_Terrace "Empty battery terrace door [%s]" 	<siren> {homematic="id=JEQ1234567, channel=0, parameter=LOWBAT"} 

Detect unreachable devices

The most sensors and actors are provide a datapoint which becomes true if the device is not reachable (because of a communication issue).

= Examples =

Switch Unreach_GF_Living_Terrace "Terrace door unreachable [%s]" <siren>  {homematic="id=JEQ1234567, channel=0, parameter=UNREACH"}  

Sabotage of security devices

Some security devices like motion sensors and contact sensors do provide a datapoint which can be used to detect sabotage of this device.

= Examples =

Switch Sabotage_GF_Living_Terrace "Sabotage Terrace [MAP(home.map):Sabotage_%s]" <siren> {homematic="id=JEQ1234567, channel=1, parameter=ERROR"}
