# PlugwiseHA Binding
The Plugwise Home Automation binding adds support to openHAB for the Plugwise Home Automation ecosystem (opens new window). This system is built around a gateway from Plugwise called the 'Adam' which incorporates a ZigBee controller to manage thermostatic radiator valves, room thermostats, floor heating pumps, et cetera.
Users can manage and control this system either via a web app or a mobile phone app developed by Plugwise. The (web) app allows users to define heating zone's (e.g. rooms) and add radiator valves to those rooms to manage and control their heating irrespective of other rooms.
Using the Plugwise Home Automation binding you can incorporate the management of these devices and heating zones into openHAB. The binding uses the same RESTfull API that both the mobile phone app and the web app use.
The binding requires users to have a working Plugwise Home Automation setup consisting of at least 1 gateway device (the 'Adam') and preferably 1 radiator valve as a bare minimum. The 'Adam' (from hereon called the gateway) needs to be accessible from the openHAB instance via a TCP/IP connection.
# Supported Things
| Device Type | Description | Thing Type |
|---|---|---|
| - | A Plugwise heating zone configured with at least 1 of the devices below | zone |
| Adam (opens new window) | The Plugwise Home Automation Bridge is needed to connect to the Adam boiler gateway | gateway |
| Tom (opens new window) | A Plugwise Home Automation radiator valve | appliance_valve |
| Floor (opens new window) | A Plugwise Home Automation radiator valve specifically used for floor heating | appliance_valve |
| Circle (opens new window) | A power outlet plug that provides energy measurement and switching control of appliances (e.g. floor heating pump) | appliance_pump |
| Lisa (opens new window) | A room thermostat (also supports the 'Anna' room thermostat) | appliance_thermostat |
| [Boiler] | A central boiler used for heating and/or domestic hot water | appliance_boiler |
# Discovery
After setting up the Plugwise Home Automation bridge you can start a manual scan to find all devices registered on the gateway. You can also manually add things by entering the corresponding device id as a configuration parameter. The device IDs can be found be enabling TRACE logging in the Karaf console.
# Thing Configuration
You must define a Plugwise Home Automation gateway (Bridge) before defining zones or appliances (Things) for this binding to work.
