# OpenGarage Binding

The OpenGarage binding allows you to control an OpenGarage controller (https://opensprinkler.com/product/opengarage/ (opens new window)) using openHAB

# Supported Things

Opengarage controllers from https://opensprinkler.com/product/opengarage/ (opens new window) are supported.

# Discovery

Auto-discover is not currently supported. You need to manually add a new item using its IP address.

# Thing Configuration

As a minimum, the IP address is needed:

  • hostname - The hostname of the OpenGarage controller. Typically you'd use an IP address such as 192.168.0.5 for this field.
  • port - the port the OpenGarage is listening on. Defaults to port 80
  • refresh - The frequency with which to refresh information from the OpenGarage controller specified in seconds. Defaults to 10 seconds.
  • password - The password to send commands to the OpenGarage. Defaults to "opendoor"

# Channels
