Enigma2 Binding

The binding integrates Enigma2 devices.

Supported Things

Enigma2 devices

Enigma2 based set-top boxes with an installed OpenWebIf are supported.

Device Settings

The Device must be connected to the same network as openHAB.

Discovery

Devices are auto discovered through HTTP in the local network.

If automatic discovery is not possible you may still manually configure a device based on the hostname.

Thing Configuration

Enigma2 has the following configuration parameters:

Name	Description	Mandatory
host	Hostname or IP address of the Enigma2 device	yes
refreshInterval	The refresh interval in seconds	yes
timeout	The timeout for reading from the device in seconds	yes
user	Optional: The Username of the Enigma2 Web API	no
password	Optional: The Password of the Enigma2 Web API	no

Configuration in .things file

Set the parameters as in the following example:

Thing enigma2:device:192_168_0_3 [host="192.168.1.3", refreshInterval="5", timeout="5", user="usename" , password="***"]

Channels

Channel Type ID	Item Type	Description	Read/Write
power	Switch	Current power setting.	RW
mute	Switch	Current mute setting.	RW
volume	Dimmer	Current volume setting.	RW
channel	String	Current channel. Use only the channel text as command to update the channel.	RW
title	String	Current program title of the current channel.	R
description	String	Current program description of the current channel.	R
mediaPlayer	Player	Media control player.	RW
mediaStop	Switch	Media control stop.	RW
