# Herzborg Binding

This binding supports smart curtain motors by Herzborg (http://www.herzborg.com/pro_list.aspx?TypeID=1 (opens new window))

# Supported Things

  • herzborg A bridge thing that connects to a RS485 serial bus.
  • curtain A curtain motor thing that can be controlled via the herzborg bridge .

The binding was developed and tested using DT300TV-1.2/14 type motor; others are expected to be compatible

# Discovery

Due to nature of serial bus being used, no automatic discovery is possible.

# Thing Configuration

# Serial Bus Bridge (id "serial_bus")

Parameter Meaning
port Serial port name to use

Herzborg devices appear to use fixed 9600 8n1 communication parameters, so no other parameters are needed
