# FreeboxOS Binding
Free is a French telecom operator providing advanced equipments to manage your broadband access.
This binding integrates the Freebox Revolution (opens new window) and Freebox Delta (opens new window) to your openHAB installation.
The server can be connected to Free infrastructures either by xDSL or fiber optic.
This binding provides metrics about your network bridge/router and attached devices (wifi repeaters, TV boxes ...). It also provides home automation capabilities when appropriate dongle has been inserted in the server.
IliadBox, italian version of the Freebox Pop are also compatible.
# Supported Things
This binding supports the following thing types:
| Thing | Thing Type | Description |

# Discovery
The API bridge is discovered automatically through mDNS in the local network. After the bridge is discovered and available to openHAB, the binding will automatically discover phone, network devices available on the local network. Note that the discovered thing will be setup to use only HTTP API (and not HTTPS) because only an IP can be automatically determined while a domain name is required to use HTTPS with a valid certificate.
# Binding configuration
FreeboxOS binding has the following configuration parameters:
| Name | Description | Mandatory |
|---|---|---|
| timeout | The timeout for reading from the device in seconds | yes |
# Thing Configuration
# API bridge
| Parameter Label | Parameter ID | Description | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freebox Server Address | apiDomain | The domain to use in place of hardcoded Freebox ip | No | mafreebox.freebox.fr (opens new window) |
| Application Token | appToken | Token generated by the Freebox Server. | Yes | |
| Network Device Discovery | discoverNetDevice | Enable the discovery of network device things. | No | false |

# Authentication
You will have to authorize openHAB to connect to your Freebox. Here is the process described:
Step 1 At binding startup, if no token is recorded in the Freebox Server (bridge) configuration, the binding will run a pairing request
Step 2 Run to your Freebox and approve the pairing request for openHAB FreeboxOS Binding that is displayed on the Freebox screen
Step 3 the application token is automatically recorded in the Freebox Server (bridge) configuration
Step 4 you can use the console command freeboxos apptoken to display the application token and use it later to set up your thing in a configuration file
Step 5 log in your Freebox admin console to allocate needed rights to FreeboxOS Binding
Once initialized, the thing will generate all available channels.
