Velbus Binding
The Velbus binding integrates with a Velbus system through a Velbus configuration module (VMBRSUSB, VMB1USB or VMB1RS) or a network connection (TCP/IP).
For optimal stability, the preferred configuration module is the VMBRSUSB module. Consider deploying a TCP bridge – the officially developed python-velbustcp or one of the third party projects – in between the configuration module and openHAB. Doing so allows concurrent access to your Velbus system by both openHAB and the official configuration software.
The binding exposes basic actions from the Velbus System that can be triggered from the smartphone/tablet interface, as defined by the Velbus Protocol info sheets.
Supported item types are switches, dimmers and rollershutters. Pushbutton, temperature sensors and input module states are retrieved and made available in the binding.

In addition to the bridge modules mentioned in the section above, the supported Velbus modules are:

Discovery
The Velbus bridge cannot be discovered automatically.
Configure it manually by defining the serial port of the Velbus Configuration module for the Velbus Serial Bridge or by defining the IP address and port for the Velbus Network Bridge, as described in the Thing Configuration
section.
Once the bridge has been configured with openHAB, a manual scan can be initiated to discover Velbus modules with an assigned address. Addresses can be assigned via the official configuration software, and is a required step before a Velbus installation can work correctly.
The discovery scan can take a few minutes to complete. Modules discovered during this scan will appear in the inbox. This procedure will also retrieve the channel names of the Velbus devices.
Thing Configuration
The Velbus bridge needs to be added first.
Velbus Serial Bridge
For the Velbus Serial Bridge it is necessary to specify the serial port device used for communication.
On Linux and other UNIX systems, it is recommended to use a more stable symbolic device path such as /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Velleman_Projects_VMB1USB_Velbus_USB_interface-if00
, as it will always refer at to a Velbus configuration module, and not an arbitrary serial device.
If this is not a concern or an option, it is valid to refer to the serial device directly with a path such as /dev/ttyS0
, /dev/ttyUSB0
or /dev/ttyACM0
(or a number other than 0
if multiple serial devices are connected.)
On Windows port
will refer to one of the COM devices such as COM1
, COM2
, etc.
The Device Manager system utility can be used to determine the exact COM port number to use.
In a .things
file, a USB connection to a Velbus configuration module might be configured like so:
Bridge velbus:bridge:1 [ port="/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Velleman_Projects_VMB1USB_Velbus_USB_interface-if00" ]
// or
Bridge velbus:bridge:1 [ port="COM1" ]
Velbus Network Bridge
For the Velbus Network Bridge it is necessary to specify the address (either an IP address or a hostname) and the port of a Velbus network server.
In a .things
file, a network bridge running on the same machine at port 6000 would be configured like so:
Bridge velbus:networkbridge:1 "Velbus Network Bridge - Loopback" @ "Control" [ address="localhost", port=6000 ]
Realtime Clock Synchronization
Optionally, the openHAB Velbus binding can synchronize the realtime clock, date and daylight savings status of the Velbus modules. This is achieved by setting the Time Update Interval (in minutes) on the bridge thing. For example:
Bridge velbus:bridge:1 [ port="COM1", timeUpdateInterval="360" ]
If timeUpdateInterval
is not specified, the time will be updated every 360 minutes by default.
In order to disable this behaviour, set the interval to 0 or an empty string.
Reconnection
In case of a connection error, a Velbus bridge will attempt to reconnect every 15 seconds by default.
You can modify the bridge reconnection interval by specifying the reconnectionInterval
parameter (in seconds):
Bridge velbus:bridge:1 [ port="COM1", reconnectionInterval="15" ]
Velbus modules
Adding Velbus modules to your openHAB configuration follows the conventions of your preferred configuration method.
-
UI-based configuration: Invoke a manual scan from the Things menu in order to start the discovery process. Discovered modules can be found in the inbox.
-
Textual
.thing
configuration can declare Velbus modules either in a standalone fashion (a bridge is still required):Thing velbus:<thingType>:<bridgeId>:<thingId> "Label" @ "Location" [ CH1="Kitchen Light", CH2="Living Light" ]
Or, more concisely, by nesting modules within the
Bridge
they’re connected to:Bridge velbus:bridge:1 [ port="COM1" ] { <thingType> <thingId> "Label" @ "Location" [ CH1="Kitchen Light", CH2="Living Light" ] }
Here:
<thingType>
is the type of the Velbus module. Refer to the Supported Things table for valid<thingType>
values;<thingId>
is the hexadecimal address of the Velbus module;"Label"
is an optional label for the thing;@ "Location"
is an optional specification of the location of the thing;- The
CHx="..."
properties are optional and can be used to specify names of the module channels.
Individual module Thing
’s channels can be linked to openHAB items via channel names like velbus:vmb4ryld:1:0A:CH1
. Here, from left to right, the channel name consistes of the binding name, module type (<thingType> = vmb4ryld
), bridge id (1
), module’s hexadecimal address (<thingId> = 0A
) and channel within the module (CH1
).
Additional properties
Some module types have additional functionality not represented well by the trigger channels. A prime example of this is a temperature sensor, measurements of which must be polled.
The following table lists these additional properties and the modules that support the corresponding property:

Refresh interval for sensors or counters (in seconds), default 300. If set to 0 or left empty, no refresh will be scheduled. |
The vmbdali
and vmbdali-20
things have 16 virtual light channels.
A virtual light combines 3 or 4 VMBDALI module channels into an openHAB channel to control RGB or RGBW lights.
This is because an RGBW DALI light is configured on the VMBDALI module with 4 channels (Red channel, Green channel, Blue channel, White channel).
The channels of the virtual light can be identified by a module channel CH1
... CH64
or a DALI address A0
... A63
.
The configuration is set like this:
Thing velbus:vmbdali:<bridgeId>:<thingId> [VL1="R,G,B,W"]
The white channel is optional.
e.g.:
Thing velbus:vmbdali:1:01 [VL1="CH1,CH2,CH3,CH4", VL2="A4,A5,A6"]
