# GREE Binding
This binding integrates GREE Air Conditioners.
Note: The GREE Air Conditioner must already be setup on the WiFi network and must have a fixed IP Address.
## Supported Things
This binding supports one Thing type `airconditioner`.
## Discovery
Once the GREE is on the network (WiFi active) it could be discovery 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 (PaperUI:Configuration:System:Network Settings).
Only change this if you have a good reason to.
