DanfossAirUnit Binding

This binding supports controlling and monitoring Danfoss air units via Ethernet connection.

Supported Things

This binding has been tested/reported to work with the Danfoss Air w2 / a2 / a3 devices.

Discovery

Air units in the LAN are automatically discovered via broadcast and added to the Inbox.

Thing Configuration

These are the available configuration parameters:

• host Hostname/IP of the air unit (automatically set by discovery service)
• refreshInterval Time (in seconds) between monitoring requests to the air unit. Smaller values mean more network load, typically set between a few seconds and a minute. Defaults to 10 seconds.
• updateUnchangedValuesEveryMillis Minimum time between state updates sent to the event bus for a particular channel when the state of the channel didn't change. This should avoid spamming the event bus with unnecessary updates. When set to 0, all channel state are updated every time the air unit requests are sent (see refresh interval). When set to a non zero value, unchanged values are only reported after the configured timespan has passed. Changed values are always sent to the event bus. Defaults to 60.000 (one minute), so updates are sent every minute or if the state of the channel changes.

Channels

channel	channel group	type	readable only (RO) or writable (RW)	description
current_time	main	DateTime	RO	Current time reported by the air unit.
mode	main	String	RW	Value to control the operation mode of the air unit. One of DEMAND, PROGRAM, MANUAL and OFF
manual_fan_step	main	Dimmer	RW	Value to control the fan step when in MANUAL mode (10 steps)
supply_fan_speed	main	Number	RO	Current rotation of the fan supplying air to the rooms (in rpm)
extract_fan_speed	main	Number	RO	Current rotation of the fan extracting air from the rooms (in rpm)
supply_fan_step	main	Dimmer	RO	Current step setting of the fan supplying air to the rooms
extract_fan_step	main	Dimmer	RO	Current step setting of the fan extracting air from the rooms

Full Example

Things

Suppose your autodiscovered air unit is identified by the id "danfossairunit:airunit:myairunit" (see section "Discovery"). The channel will then be identified by <air unit id>:<channel group>#<channel>

You can also manually configure your air unit in case you don't want to use autodiscovery (e. g. if you want to have a portable configuration): Create a new file, e. g. danfoss.things, in your things configuration folder:

Thing danfossairunit:airunit:myairunit [host="192.168.0.7",
refreshInterval=5,
updateUnchangedValuesEveryMillis=30000]
