# Pixometer Binding
This binding connects to the pixometer API, which can manage your meter readings through a native smartphone app.
# Supported Things
This binding supports the following thing types according to the capabilities of pixometer:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Account | Bridge | Representation of a pixometer account, which connects to the pixometer API. |
Energymeter | Thing | Provides access to the readings of configured energy meters. |
Gasmeter | Thing | Provides access to the readings of configured gas meters. |
Watermeter | Thing | Provides access to the readings of configured water meters. |
The different meter types are pretty similar in basic, but are implemented in parallel to provide Units of Measurement support.

# Full Example
pixometer.things:
Bridge pixometer:account:AccountName "MyAccountName" [ user="xxxxxxxx@xxxx.xx", password="xxxxxxxxxxxx", refresh= 60 ] {
Thing energymeter MeterName1 "MyMeterName1" [ resourceId = "xxxxxxxx" ]
Thing gasmeter MeterName2 "MyMeterName2" [ resourceId = "xxxxxxxx" ]
Thing watermeter MeterName3 "MyMeterName3" [ resourceId = "xxxxxxxx" ]
}
pixometer.items:
