# Sinopé Binding

The integration happens through the Sinopé (GT150) bridge, which acts as an IP gateway to the Sinopé devices on the 916 Mhz ISM band.

This binding supports multiple gateways with multiple devices.

# Supported Things

The Sinopé bridge is required as a "bridge" for accessing any other Sinopé devices.

Right now, only the thermostat devices (3000W and 4000W) (TH1120RF) are supported.

# Discovery

The Sinopé Gateway (bridge) discovery is not supported for now. It will be added in future release. The Sinopé devices discovery is implemented.

# Prerequisites

# Bridge or the Sinopé Gateway

First, you will need to get your API key from your Sinopé gateway.

Grab the latest release of the sinope-core library (opens new window)

On Windows, you can run the SinopeProtocol.exe (in the zip release). The gateway parameter is written on the back of the SinopéGateway (example, 002f-c2c2-dd88-aaaa). The addr parameter is the IP given to your gateway.

SinopeProtocol.exe -addr [YOUR_GATEWAY_IP_OR_HOSTNAME]  -gateway [YOUR_GATEWAY_ID] -login
Getting API Key  - PRESS WEB Button
Your api Key is: 0x12 0x57 0x55 0xD5 0xCD 0x4A 0xD5 0x33

On other operating systems, using only a JVM, you can invoke directly the java command from the latest release of the sinope-core library (opens new window):

java -jar core-0.0.3-shaded.jar -addr [YOUR_GATEWAY_IP_OR_HOSTNAME]   -gateway [YOUR_GATEWAY_ID] -login
Getting API Key  - PRESS WEB Button
Your api Key is: 0x12 0x57 0x55 0xD5 0xCD 0x4A 0xD5 0x33

# Thing Discovery

You can use the same procedure to discover each device you want to use. You will need to provide the api key from the previous step. If you use spaces, please, use double quotes to pass the api key (i.e. "0x12 0x57 0x55 0xD5 0xCD 0x4A 0xD5 0x33")

Use the device procedure to discover it. For a thermostat, you need to push both buttons. The application will loop forever, press ctrl-c to exit.

SinopeProtocol.exe -addr [YOUR_GATEWAY_IP_OR_HOSTNAME]  -gateway [YOUR_GATEWAY_ID] -api "[YOUR_API_KEY]" -discover

It is now time to push both buttons on your device!
Press crtl-c to exit!
Your device id is: 0x00 0x00 0x35 0x86
It is now time to push both buttons on your device!
Press crtl-c to exit!

On other operating systems, using only a JVM, you can invoke directly the java command:

java -jar core-0.0.3-shaded.jar -addr [YOUR_GATEWAY_IP_OR_HOSTNAME]  -gateway [YOUR_GATEWAY_ID] -api "[YOUR_API_KEY]" -discover

It is now time to push both buttons on your device!
Press crtl-c to exit!
Your device id is: 0x00 0x00 0x35 0x86
It is now time to push both buttons on your device!
Press crtl-c to exit!

# Thing Configuration

The Sinopé bridge requires the address, the gateway id and the API key in order for the binding to know where and how to access it. In the thing file, this looks e.g. like

Bridge sinope:gateway:home [ hostname="[YOUR_GATEWAY_IP_OR_HOSTNAME]", gatewayId="[YOUR_GATEWAY_ID]", apiKey="0x1F 0x5D 0xC8 0xD5 0xCD 0x3A 0xD7 0x23"]

The devices are identified by the ids that a Sinopé device returns when you have discovered it.

thermostat room [ deviceId = "0x00 0x00 0x35 0x86" ]

# Channels

Thermostat devices support some of the following channels:

Channel Type ID Item Type Description
insideTemperature Number (R) Inside Temperature
outsideTemperature Number (R) Outside Temperature
setpointTemperature Number (RW) Set Point Temperature
setpointMode String (RW) Thermostat set point mode
heatingLevel Number (R) Heating Level

# Full Example

In this example setup the Sinopé Gateway is represented as a Bridge Home with thermostat Room

# demo.things:

Bridge sinope:gateway:home [ hostname="sinope", gatewayId="1234-4567-1234-1234", apiKey="0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78 0x9A 0xBC 0xDE 0xF0"] {
  thermostat room [ deviceId = "00003586" ]
}

# demo.items:

Number Room_In  "Room Temp. [%.2f °C]" <temperature> { channel="sinope:thermostat:home:room:insideTemperature" }
Number Room_Out "Outside Temp. [%.2f °C]" <temperature> { channel="sinope:thermostat:home:room:outsideTemperature" }
Number Room_SetPoint "Room Set Point [%.2f °C]" <temperature> { channel="sinope:thermostat:home:room:setpointTemperature" }
Number Room_SetPointMode "Room Set Point Mode" { channel="sinope:thermostat:home:room:setpointMode" }
Number Room_HeatLevel "Room Heating level [%d]" <heating> { channel="sinope:thermostat:home:room:heatingLevel" }
