# TasmotaPlug Binding

This binding connects Tasmota flashed smart plugs with 1, 2, 3 or 4 relay channels to openHAB.
The plug must report the status of the relay via the url http://$PLUG_IP/cm?cmnd=Power in order for the binding to work.
The energy monitoring channels can be used if the plug reports energy status via the url http://$PLUG_IP/cm?cmnd=Status%2010.
See the Tasmota Supported Devices Repository (opens new window) for a list of supported plugs.

# Supported Things

There is exactly one supported thing type, which represents any supported Tasmota smart plug. It has the plug id. Multiple Things can be added if more than one plug is to be controlled.

# Discovery

Discovery is not supported. All things must be added manually.

# Thing Configuration

At minimum, the host name must be specified. The refresh interval and number of channels can be overridden from the default.

Parameter	Description
hostName	The host name or IP address of the plug. Mandatory.
refresh	Overrides the refresh interval of the plug status. Optional, the default is 30 seconds.
numChannels	Number of channels on the Tasmota Plug (1-4). Optional, the default is 1
username	Username for authentication with the Tasmota Plug. Default 'admin'
password	Password for authentication with the Tasmota Plug, if not supplied auth is disabled.

# Channels

The number of channels depends of on the numChannels configuration parameter. Channels above the number specified are automatically removed. Therefore numChannels cannot be changed upward after Thing creation. If the number of channels must be increased, delete the Thing and re-create it with the correct number.

Channel ID	Item Type	Description
power	Switch	Turns the smart plug relay #1 ON or OFF
power2	Switch	Turns the smart plug relay #2 ON or OFF
power3	Switch	Turns the smart plug relay #3 ON or OFF
power4	Switch	Turns the smart plug relay #4 ON or OFF
voltage	Number:ElectricPotential	Channel for output voltage measurement
current	Number:ElectricCurrent	Channel for output current measurement
watts	Number:Power	Channel for output power measurement
volt-ampere	Number:Power	Channel for output VA measurement
volt-ampere-reactive	Number:Power	Channel for output VAr measurement
power-factor	Number:Dimensionless	Channel for output power factor measurement
energy-today	Number:Energy	Channel for output energy today measurement
energy-yesterday	Number:Energy	Channel for output energy yesterday measurement
energy-total	Number:Energy	Channel for output energy total measurement
energy-total-start	DateTime	Channel for output energy total start date/time
