# Caddx Binding
The Caddx binding is used for communicating with the Caddx alarm panels. Also known as Interlogix.
It provides connectivity to the NetworX alarm panels via a RS-232 serial connection to the NX-584E interface or directly to the NX-8E.
# Supported Things
This binding supports the following Thing types
Thing | Thing Type | Description |
---|---|---|
bridge | Bridge | The RS-232 interface. |
panel | Thing | The basic representation of the alarm System. |
partition | Thing | Represents a controllable area within the alarm system. |
zone | Thing | Represents a physical device such as a door, window, or motion sensor. |
keypad | Thing | Represents a keypad. |
# Discovery
First the bridge must be manually defined. The serial port, baud rate and protocol have to be set correctly to match the respective configuration of the panel (see below Prerequisites section). After the bridge is manually added and available to openHAB, the binding will automatically start to discover partitions and zones and add them to the discovery inbox.
Note: There is no support to discover the available keypads.
# Prerequisites
For the binding to work the panel has also to be programmed appropriately.

# Thing Configuration
The things can be configured either through the online configuration utility via discovery, or manually through the configuration file. The following table shows the available configuration parameters for each thing.
Thing | Configuration Parameters |
---|---|
bridge | serialPort - Serial port for the bridge - Required |
protocol - Protocol used for the communication (Binary, Ascii) - Required - Default = Binary | |
baud - Baud rate of the bridge - Required - Default = 9600 | |
