Dominoswiss Binding

This binding allows the control of rollershutters, using an eGate as gateway and Dominoswiss radio receivers. The eGate-gateway is connected via ethernet to openHAB and sends its commands via radio to all rollershutters. See https://www.brelag.com/ (opens new window) for more information.

Supported Things

eGate: Dominoswiss eGate Server. The eGate is the gateway which sends the commands to the connected rollershutters. The bridge-type ID is egate. Blind: represents one rollershutter, that can be controlled via eGate. The thing-type ID is blind.

Discovery

Unfortunately no automatic discovery is possible due to protocol restrictions. Every rollershutter must be known by eGate and can be called by it's number of storage-place on eGate gateway.

Thing Configuration

The bridge "eGate" has one channel "getconfig" which returns the config of this bridge. The eGate is configured with both an ipAddress and a port.

Property	Default	Required	Description
ipAddress	none	Yes	The IP or host name of the Dominoswiss EGate Serve
port	1318	Yes	Port interface of the Dominoswiss EGate Server

Bridge dominoswiss:egate:myeGate "My eGate Server" @ "Home" [ ipAddres="localhost", port=5700 ]

The thing blind represents one blind on the eGate. Each blind is represented by an id set on your eGate.

Thing blind officeBlind "Office" @ "1stFloor" [ id="1"]

The blind-Thing has the following channels:

Channel Type ID	Item Type	Description
pulseUp	Rollershutter	sends one pulse up to this blind.
pulseDown	Rollershutter	sends one pulse down to this blind
continuousUp	Rollershutter	sends a continuous up to this blind. The blind will automatically stop as it is fully up.
continuousDown	Rollershutter	send a continous down to this blind. The blind will automatically stop as it is fully down.
stop	Rollershutter	stop the action of the blind. The command will be imadiatly sent to the blind.
shutter	Rollershutter	this is used to bind the channel to the shutter item. There are no further rules needed this channel will handel the up/down/stop commands. See example for usage.
tilt	Rollershutter	same as shutter, this will handel all up/down/stop - tilt commands to be used with the shutter-item.
tiltUp	Rollershutter	sends 3 pulse-up commands to this blind to tilt the blind. If your blind needs more than 3 pulse-up, create a rule yourself with three pluse-up commands. Between each pulse-up you should wait 150ms to let the command be processed.
tiltDown	Rollershutter	sends 3 pulse-down commands to this blind to tilt the blind. If your blind needs more than 3 pulse-down, create a rule yourself with three pluse-down commands. Between each pulse-down you should wait 150ms to let the command be processed.

Sample rule file

This example moves the blind of the office up as the sun passed 110 azimuth (so the sun is no longer shining directly into the office).

rule "OneSide up"
when 
    Item Azimuth changed 
then 
    val azimuth = Math::round((Azimuth.state as DecimalType).intValue)
    if (azimuth == 110)
    {
        OfficeBlindShutter.sendCommand(UP)
    }
end
