# Jeelink Binding
This binding integrates JeeLink USB RF receivers and LaCrosseGateways.
# Introduction
Binding should be compatible with JeeLink USB receivers and LaCrosseGateways. It supports connected LaCrosse temperature sensors, EC3000 sensors, PCA301 power monitoring wireless sockets and TX22 temperature and humidity sensors (including connected TX23 wind and TX26 rain sensors).
# Supported Things
This binding supports:
- JeeLink (connected to USB)
- JeeLink (connected over TCP)
- LaCrosseGateway (connected to USB)
- LaCrosseGateway (connected over TCP)
- LaCrosse temperature sensors
- EC3000 power monitors
- Revolt power monitors
- PCA301 power monitoring wireless sockets
- TX22 temperature & humidity Sensors (including connected TX23 wind and TX26 rain sensors)
# Binding configuration
Configuration of the binding is not needed.
# Thing discovery
Only sensor discovery is supported, the thing for the USB receiver / LaCrosseGateway has to be created manually. Pay attention to use the correct serial port, as otherwise the binding may interfere with other bindings accessing serial ports.
Afterwards, discovery reads from the USB receiver / LaCrosseGateways to find out which sensors are currently connected. It then creates a thing for every unknown sensor and puts it in the Inbox.
Discovery only creates things for sensors that actually send a value during discovery. LaCrosse temperature sensors send values every few seconds, so that they are normally caught by the discovery. In rare cases, a second discovery run is needed.
PCA301 sockets are polled every 120 seconds by default. This results in sockets not being found by the discovery. In order to make sure the socket is discovered, press the button on the socket during discovery (and make sure you have paired the socket to the USB stick / LaCrosseGateway before by pressing the button for 3 seconds while the receiver is powered).
# Thing configuration
# JeeLink / LaCrosseGateway (connected to USB)
| Parameter | Item Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Serial Port | String | The serial port name for the USB receiver / LaCrosseGateway. Valid values are e.g. COM1 for Windows and /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyUSB0 for Linux |
| Baud Rate | Number | The baud rate of the USB Receiver. Valid values are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 (default), and 115200 |
| Init Commands | String | A semicolon separated list of init commands that will be send to the Jeelink / LaCrosseGateway, e.g. "0a" for disabling the LED |
The available init commands depend on the sketch that is running on the USB stick / LaCrosseGateway.
# JeeLink / LaCrosseGateway (connected over TCP)
| Parameter | Item Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IP Address | String | The IP address of the Server to which the USB Receiver is connected, or the IP address of the LaCrosseGateway |
| TCP Port | Number | The TCP port over which the serial port is made available, or the LaCrosseGateway port (which usually is 81) |
| Init Commands | String | A semicolon separated list of init commands that will be send to the Jeelink / LaCrosseGateway, e.g. "0a" for disabling the LED |
# LaCrosse temperature sensors
| Parameter | Item Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor ID | Number | The ID of the connected sensor |
| Sensor Timeout | Number | The amount of time in seconds that should result in OFFLINE status when no readings have been received from the sensor |
| Update Interval | Number | The update interval in seconds how often value updates are propagated. A value of 0 leads to propagation of every value |

| Lower Temperature Limit | Decimal | The lowest allowed valid temperature. Lower temperature readings will be ignored |
| Upper Temperature Limit | Decimal | The highest allowed valid temperature. Higher temperature readings will be ignored |
| Maximum allowed difference | Decimal | The maximum allowed difference from a value to the previous value (0 disables this check). If the difference is higher, the reading will be ignored. |
