# AVM FRITZ! Binding

The binding integrates AVM FRITZ!Boxes with a special focus on the AHA (AVM Home Automation (opens new window)) features.

FRITZ!DECT 200 301 500

# Supported Things

# FRITZ!Box

FRITZ!Boxes (thing type fritzbox) are supported as bridges and they offer channels for call monitoring. To activate the call monitor interface on a FRITZ!Box, you need to dial once #96*5* on a connected telephone. You should hear a short audio signal as confirmation. This procedure opens TCP/IP port 1012 on your FRITZ!Box. (It can be deactivated again by dialing #96*4*.) You can test if everything is working with the Telnet program from your openHAB server:

telnet fritz.box 1012

If you see an output like this:

Trying 192.168.178.1...
Connected to fritz.box.
Escape character is '^]'.

then it successfully connected to the call monitor. If not, please make sure that the target openHAB system does not block the port on its firewall.

Additionally, they serve as a bridge for accessing other AHA devices. For AHA functionality, the router has to run at least on firmware FRITZ!OS 6.00 and it has to support the "Smart Home" service.

# FRITZ!DECT 200 / FRITZ!DECT 210

This switchable outlets FRITZ!DECT 210 (opens new window) and FRITZ!DECT 200 (opens new window) have to be connected to a FRITZ!Box by DECT protocol. They support switching the outlet and reading the current power, current voltage, accumulated energy consumption and temperature. NOTE: The voltage channel will be added to the thing during runtime - if the interface supports it (FRITZ!OS 7 or higher).

# FRITZ!DECT Repeater 100

This DECT repeater (opens new window) has to be connected to a FRITZ!Box by DECT protocol. It only supports temperature readings.

# FRITZ!Powerline 546E

This powerline adapter (opens new window) can be used via the bridge or in stand-alone mode. It supports switching the outlet and reading the current power, current voltage and accumulated energy consumption. This device does not contain a temperature sensor. NOTE: The voltage channel will be added to the thing during runtime - if the interface supports it (FRITZ!OS 7 or higher).

# FRITZ!DECT 301 / FRITZ!DECT 300 / Comet DECT

These devices FRITZ!DECT 301 (opens new window), FRITZ!DECT 300 and Comet DECT (opens new window) (EUROtronic Technology GmbH (opens new window)) are used to regulate radiators via DECT-ULE protocol. The FRITZ!Box can handle up to twelve heating thermostats. The binding provides channels for reading and setting the temperature. Additionally you can check the eco temperature, the comfort temperature and the battery level of the device. The FRITZ!Box has to run at least on firmware FRITZ!OS 6.35. NOTE: The battery_level channel will be added to the thing during runtime - if the interface supports it (FRITZ!OS 7 or higher).

# FRITZ!DECT 400 / FRITZ!DECT 440

The FRITZ!DECT 400 (opens new window) and FRITZ!DECT 440 (opens new window) are buttons for convenient operation of FRITZ! Smart Home devices (FRITZ!OS 7.08 or higher for FRITZ!DECT 400, 7.20 or higher for FRITZ!DECT 440). The FRITZ!DECT 400 supports a configurable button to trigger short or long press events. Beside four customizable buttons the FRITZ!DECT 440 supports temperature readings. ** NOTE: ** FRITZ!DECT 440 now uses Channel Groups to group its Channels like device#battery_level, device#battery_low for device information, sensors#temperature for sensor data and top-left, bottom-left, top-right and bottom-right combined with press and last_change (see Full Example)

# Supported Channel Groups

Channel Group ID	Description	Available on thing
`device`	Device information.	FRITZ!DECT 440
`sensors`	Sensor data.	FRITZ!DECT 440
`top-left`, `bottom-left`, `top-right`, `bottom-right`	Button and trigger.	FRITZ!DECT 440

# DECT-ULE / HAN-FUN Devices

The following sensors have been successfully tested using FRITZ!OS 7 for FRITZ!Box 7490 / 7590:

SmartHome Tür-/Fensterkontakt (optisch) (opens new window) - an optical door/window contact (thing type HAN_FUN_CONTACT)
SmartHome Tür-/Fensterkontakt (magnetisch) (opens new window) - a magnetic door/window contact (thing type HAN_FUN_CONTACT)
SmartHome Bewegungsmelder (opens new window) - a motion sensor (thing type HAN_FUN_CONTACT)
SmartHome Rauchmelder (opens new window) - a smoke detector (thing type HAN_FUN_CONTACT)
SmartHome Wandtaster (opens new window) - a switch with two buttons (thing type HAN_FUN_SWITCH)

The use of other Sensors should be possible, if these are compatible with DECT-ULE / HAN-FUN standards.

The FRITZ!Box has to run at least on firmware FRITZ!OS 7.

# FRITZ! Groups

The FRITZ!OS supports two different types of groups. On the one hand there are groups for heating thermostats on the other hand there are groups for switchable outlets and power meters. The first one provides the same channels and actions like the FRITZ!DECT 301 / FRITZ!DECT 300 / Comet DECT (opens new window) devices. The latter provides the same channels like the FRITZ!DECT 200 / FRITZ!DECT 210 (opens new window) / FRITZ!Powerline 546E (opens new window) devices. The FRITZ!Box has to run at least on firmware FRITZ!OS 6.69.

# Discovery

The FRITZ!Box and the powerline adapter are discovered through UPnP in the local network. When added as things, a username/password has eventually to be set depending on your Box/Powerline security configuration. The credentials given in the settings must have HomeAuto permissions. This implies to enable "login to the home network with user name and password" setting in the FRITZ!Box. To do so

Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Click "FRITZ!Box Users" in the "System" menu.
Click on the "Login to the Home Network" tab.
Enable the option "Login with FRITZ!Box user name and password".
Click "Apply" to save the settings.

NOTE: Now you can only log in to the FRITZ!Box with a user account, i.e. after entering a user name and password.

Auto-discovery is enabled by default. To disable it, you can add the following line to <openHAB-conf>/services/runtime.cfg:

discovery.avmfritz:background=false

If correct credentials are set in the bridge configuration, connected AHA devices are discovered automatically (may last up to 3 minutes).

# Thing Configuration

# FRITZ! Smart Home Templates

With the new templates feature (opens new window) in FRITZ!OS 7, you can now save the settings of your Smart Home devices and groups as a template for certain occasions e.g. holidays or vacation. Unfortunately it is not that simple to find out the unique identifier (AIN) for a template needed for sending it as command to the apply_template channel. Here is a work-around: To retrieve the list of AINs assigned by FRITZ! for your templates, go to the FRITZ!Box' Support page at http://fritz.box/html/support.html (opens new window) within your local network and login. Then in the section "Support Data" ("Support-Daten") press the button "Create Support Data" ("Support-Daten erstellen") and save the generated text file. Open the file in a text editor and search for the term "avm_home_device_type_template". You will find entries like the attached one. The identifyer 'tmpFC0F2C-3960B7EE6' contains the templates AINs you need for using them in rules.

Name 'Demo Template', identifyer 'tmpFC0F2C-3960B7EE6', firmware version '0.1'

end

# Actions

For heating devices and heating groups there are two actions available to set Boost or Window Open mode for a given duration: setBoostMode(long) and setWindowOpenMode(long). The duration has to be given in seconds, min. 1, max. 86400, 0 for deactivation.

val actions = getActions("avmfritz","avmfritz:Comet_DECT:1:aaaaaabbbbbb")

// set Boost mode for 5 min
actions.setBoostMode(300)
