+# Remote openHAB Binding
+
+The Remote openHAB binding allows to communicate with remote openHAB servers.
+The communication is bidirectional.
+The binding on the local server listens to any item state updates on the remote server and updates accordingly the linked channel on the local server.
+It also transfers any item command from the local server to the remote server.
+
+One first usage is the distribution of your home automation system on a set of openHAB servers.
+
+A second usage is for users having old openHAB v1 bindings running that were not migrated to openHAB v2 or openHAB v3.
+They can keep an openHAB v2 server to run their old openHAB v1 bindings and setup a new openHAB v3 server for everything else.
+The Remote openHAB binding installed on the openHAB v3 server will then allow to use the openHAB v1 bindings through communication with the openHAB v2 server.
+
+A third usage is for users that would like to keep unchanged an existing openHAB v2 server but would like to use the new UI from openHAB v3; they can simply setup a new openHAB v3 server with the Remote openHAB binding linked to their openHAB v2 server.
+
+## Supported Things
+
+There is one unique supported thing : the `server` bridge thing 
+
+## Discovery
+
+All openHAB servers in the local network are automatically discovered (through mDNS) by the binding.
+You will find in the inbox one discovery thing per remote server interface.
+So if your remote server has one IPv4 address and one IPv6 address, you will discover two things in the inbox.
+Just choose one of the two things.
+
+## Binding Configuration
+
+The binding has no configuration options, all configuration is done at Thing level.
+
+## Thing Configuration
+
+The thing has the following configuration parameters:
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description                                                                                            |
+|-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| host      | yes      | The host name or IP address of the remote openHAB server.                                              |
+| port      | yes      | The HTTP port to be used to communicate with the remote openHAB server. Default is 8080.               |
+| restPath  | yes      | The subpath of the REST API on the remote openHAB server. Default is /rest                             |
+| token     | no       | The token to use when the remote openHAB server is setup to require authorization to run its REST API. |
+
+## Channels
+
+The channels are built dynamically and automatically by the binding.
+One channel is created for each item from the remote server.
+Only basic groups (with no state) are ignored.
+The channel id of the built channel corresponds to the name of the item on the remote server.
+
+## Limitations
+
+* The binding will not try to communicate with an openHAB v1 server.
+* The binding only uses the HTTP protocol for the communications with the remote server (not HTTPS).
+
+## Example
+
+### demo.things:
+
+```
+Bridge remoteopenhab:server:oh2 "OH2 server" [ host="192.168.0.100" ]
+```
+
+### demo.items:
+
+```
+DateTime MyDate "Date [%1$tA %1$td %1$tR]" <calendar> { channel="remoteopenhab:server:oh2:MyDate" }
+```
