# LiquidCheck Binding
This binding is for the Liquid-Check device from SI-Elektronik GmbH which can be used to measure level and content of tanks.
# Supported Things
liquidCheckDevice:
The Liquid-Check device in Hardwareversion B and Firmwareversion 1.60 has been tested and is working. You can access the measured data, raw data, the settings as properties and command a measurement.
# Discovery
This binding discovers the devices via a ping and request method. It uses every Ethernet/WLAN interface that is connected to the openHAB server. Therefore the discovery has to be manually triggered.
# Thing Configuration
You only need to set the IP address of the device or use the discovery method. If the maximum content has not been set the fill-indicator channel will not contain valid values.
