# GREE Binding

This binding integrates Air Conditioners that use the GREE protocol (GREE, Sinclair and others).

Note: The Air Conditioner must already be set-up on the WiFi network and must have a fixed IP Address.

## Supported Things

This binding supports one Thing type `airconditioner`.

## Discovery

Once the Air Conditioner is on the network (WiFi active) it could be discovered automatically.
An IP broadcast message is sent and every responding unit gets added to the Inbox.

## Binding Configuration

No binding configuration is required.

## Thing Configuration

| Channel Name             | Type       | Description                                                                                   |
|--------------------------|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ipAddress                | IP Address | IP address of the unit.                                                                       |
| broadcastAddress         | IP Address | Broadcast address being used for discovery, usually derived from the IP interface address.    |
| refresh                  | Integer    | Refresh interval in seconds for polling the device status.                                    |
| currentTemperatureOffset | Decimal    | Offset in Celsius for the current temperature value received from the device.                 |

The Air Conditioner's IP address is mandatory, all other parameters are optional.
If the broadcast is not set (default) it will be derived from openHAB's network setting (Check Network Settings in the openHAB UI).
Only change this if you have a good reason to.

## Channels

The following channels are supported for fans:

## Example

This example shows how to make a GREE Air Conditioner controllable by Google HA (A/C mode + temperature)

### Items

```java
Group Gree_Modechannel              "Gree"                { ga="Thermostat" } // allows mapping for Google Home Assistent
Switch   GreeAirConditioner_Power   "Aircon"              {channel="gree:airconditioner:a1234561:power", ga="Switch"}
String   GreeAirConditioner_Mode    "Aircon Mode"         {channel="gree:airconditioner:a1234561:mode", ga="thermostatMode"}
Number   GreeAirConditioner_Temp    "Aircon Temperature"  {channel="gree:airconditioner:a1234561:temperature}
Switch   GreeAirConditioner_Light   "Light"               {channel="gree:airconditioner:a1234561:light"}
```

### Rules

```java
rule "Mode changed"
when
        Item GreeAirConditioner_Mode changed
then        
        if(GreeAirConditioner_Mode.state == "cool" ) {
            logInfo("A/C", "Cooling has be turned on")
        }
