# Foobot Binding
This binding fetches the Indoor Air Quality data of each of your Foobot devices from the Foobot cloud service.
To use this binding, you first need to [register and get your API key](https://api.foobot.io/apidoc/index.html).
The api is rate limited to 200 calls per day. If you need a higher rate limit please contact Foobot.
## Supported Things
The binding supports the following things:
| Thing type | Name
|-------------|------------------------------------------
| account | The bridge with connection configuration
| device | The sensor thing
## Discovery
The binding requires you to have a Foobot account and an API key.
The discovery process is able to automatically discover all devices associated with your Foobot account.
## Bridge Configuration
Bridge has the following configuration parameters:
| Parameter | Description | Required
|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|----------
| apikey | API Key from https://api.foobot.io/apidoc/index.html | Mandatory
| username | The e-mail address used to log into the Foobot App | Mandatory
| refreshInterval | Refresh interval in minutes, minimal 5 minutes | Optional, the default value is 8 minutes.
The minimal refresh rate is 5 minutes because the device only sends data every 5 minutes.
The default is 8 minutes. This will get you through the day with the default rate limit of 200 calls per day.
## Channels
The bridge has one channel:
| Channel ID | Item Type | Description
|----------------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------
| apiKeyLimitRemaining | Number | The remaining number of API requests for today
The AirQuality sensors information that is retrieved is available as these channels:
