# Qbus Binding
This binding for [Qbus](https://qbus.be) communicates with all controllers of the Qbus home automation system.
We also host a site which contains a [manual](https://iot.qbus.be/) where you can find lots of information to set up openHAB with Qbus client and server (for the moment only in Dutch).
The controllers can not communicate directly with openHAB, therefore we developed a client/server application which you must install prior to enable this binding.
More information can be found here:
[Qbus Client/Server](https://github.com/QbusKoen/QbusClientServer-Installer)
With this binding you can control and read almost every output from the Qbus system.
## Supported Things
The following things are supported by the Qbus binding:
- `dimmer`: Dimmer 1 button, 2 button and clc
- `onOff`: Bistabiel, Timer1-3, Interval
- `thermostats`: Thermostats - normal and PID
- `scene`: Scenes
- `co2`: CO2
- `rollershutter`: Rollershutter
- `rollershutter_slats`: Rollerhutter with slats
For now the following Qbus things are not yet supported but will come:
- DMX
- Timer 4 & 5
- HVAC
- Humidity
- Renson
- Duco
- Kinetura
- Energy monitor
- Weather station
## Discovery
The discovery service is not yet implemented but the System Manager III software of Qbus generates things and item files from the programming, which you can use directly in openHAB.
## Bridge configuration
```java
Bridge qbus:bridge:CTD001122 [ addr="localhost", sn="001122", port=8447, serverCheck=10 ] {
...
}
```
| Property | Default | Required | Description |
|---------------|-----------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `addr` | localhost | YES | The ip address of the machine where the Qbus Server runs |
| `sn` | | YES | The serial number of your controller |
| `port` | 8447 | YES | The communication port of the client/server |
| `serverCheck` | 10 | NO | Refresh time - After x minutes there will be a check if server is still running and if client is still connected. If not - reconnect |
## Things configuration
| Thing Type ID | Channel Name | Read only | description |
| --------------------- | ------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `onOff` | switch | No | This is the channel for Bistable, Timers and Intervals |
| `dimmer` | brightness | No | This is the channel for Dimmers 1&2 buttons and CLC |
| `scene` | Switch | No | This is the channel for scenes |
| `co2` | co2 | Yes | This is the channel for CO2 sensors |
| `rollershutter` | rollershutter | No | This is the channel for rollershutters |
| `rollershutter_slats` | rollershutter | No | This is the channel for rollershutters with slats |
| `thermostat` | setpoint | No | This is the channel for thermostats setpoint |
| `thermostat` | measured | Yes | This is the channel for thermostats currenttemp |
| `thermostat` | mode | No | This is the channel for thermostats mode |
