ImperiHome Configuration

After OpenHAB configuration is complete, on your ImperiHome device add a new system. Type should be ImperiHome Standard System. Local API base url should be of the form http://(your openhab server ip address):(openhab port)/imperihab

OpenHAB Configuration

The binding provides the API for ImperiHome to load the devices from openHAB and to control it.

Items

Binding Format

{imperihab="room:[#room],label:[#label],type:[#type],watts:[#wattsitem],unit:[#unit],persist:[#persist],invert:[#invert]"}

#room	the room you want the item to appear under in ImperiHome
#label	Optional, the name of the item to appear in ImperiHome, if not specified the name will be the item name replacing _ with " ", so Outside_Porch_Light would become "Outside Porch Light" automatically
#type	Optional, only needed if the type of the device cannot be guessed from the item. It first tries to find the type based on the values it support OpenClose, OnOff, Percentage etc and there's some best guesses for the item names e.g. if item name contains "Humidity" it thinks its a humidity sensor). If none of these work, or if you want to override the type it guesses, you can specify it. Using the device types for imperihome: Device type string Description DevCamera MJPEG IP Camera DevCO2 CO2 sensor DevCO2Alert CO2 Alert sensor DevDimmer Dimmable light DevDoor Door / window security sensor DevElectricity Electricity consumption sensor DevFlood Flood security sensor DevGenericSensor Generic sensor (any value) DevHygrometry Hygro sensor DevLock Door lock DevLuminosity Luminance sensor DevMotion Motion security sensor DevMultiSwitch Multiple choice actuator DevNoise Noise sensor DevPressure Pressure sensor DevRain Rain sensor DevScene Scene (launchable) DevShutter Shutter actuator DevSmoke Smoke security sensor DevSwitch Standard on/off switch DevTemperature Temperature sensor DevThermostat Thermostat (extra parameters required) DevUV UV sensor DevWind Wind sensor
#wattsitem	Optional, this lets you specify another item to be the "energy" value for an item, e.g. for a z-wave power outlet Switch Item, you can link this to the Number item that has the power reading. Then in imperihome it will show the power usage for that switch.
#persist	Optional, this lets you specify another persist store to use instead of the default configured in openHAB.
#unit	Optional lets you specify the units for a numeric value, for Fahrenheit temperatures use "F", eg unit:F
#stopable	Optional, if present on a Shutter, this will show a "Stop" button for that shutter in imperiHome
#invert	Optional (true|false), this lets you invert an on/off, open/closed state of an item. This is helpful if ImperiHome is showing the wrong state for a door. E.g. a garage door appears open when closed etc.

Temperatures with Humidity

To combine a temperature with a humidity value (so they appear as a single item in imperiHome). You can specify a "hygroId" to the temperature binding. For example

Number	nOffice_Temperature { zwave="3:command=SENSOR_MULTILEVEL,sensor_type=1", imperihab="room:Office,label:Office Temperature,hygroId:nOffice_Humidity" }
Number	nOffice_Humidity { zwave="3:command=SENSOR_MULTILEVEL,sensor_type=5" }

In this case you do not specify a imperihab binding for the humidity just for the temperature.

Thermostats

DevThermostat should be attached to the item that defines the thermostat's set point. In addition, DevThermostat item needs several extra parameters to function. All of them are required.

Name	Type	Description
curmodeid	Item	Current thermostat mode
currentTempId	Item	Current temperature
minVal	Number	Minimum allowable value for thermostat set point
maxVal	Number	Maximum allowable value for thermostat set point
availableModes	String	dash separated modes. eg: Off-Auto-Cool-Heat

Complete DevThermostat example

Number LIVINGROOM_THERMOSTAT_MODE "Livingroom Thermostat Mode: [MAP(zwave_thermostat_mode.map):%s]"  {zwave="40:0:command=THERMOSTAT_MODE"}
Number LIVINGROOM_THERMOSTAT_TEMPERATURE "Livingroom Thermostat Temperature: [%.1f F]" <temperature> {zwave="40:0:command=SENSOR_MULTILEVEL,sensor_type=1"}
Number LIVINGROOM_THERMOSTAT_SETPOINT "Livingroom Thermostat Daytime (heat) Set Point [%.1f F]"  {zwave="40:0:command=THERMOSTAT_SETPOINT,setpoint_type=1,setpoint_scale=1", imperihab="room:Livingroom,label:Thermostat,unit:F,curmodeid:LIVINGROOM_THERMOSTAT_MODE,currentTempId:LIVINGROOM_THERMOSTAT_TEMPERATURE,minVal:60,maxVal:90,availableModes:Off-Auto-Cool-Heat"}

Examples

Number zWaveSensor23_1 "L1 [%.1f W]" <energy> (gZWaveNode23, gPower) {zwave="23:1:command=METER", imperihab="room:Keller,label:Verbrauch L1,type:DevElectricity,watts:zWaveSensor23_1"}
Dimmer zWaveLightOGBedroom "Licht [%d %%]" <light> (gZWaveNode20, gLights, gHomeOGBedroom) {zwave="20:0:command=SWITCH_MULTILEVEL", imperihab="room:Schlafzimmer,label:Licht,type:DevDimmer,watts:zWaveLightOGBedroom"}
Rollershutter zWaveShutterEGLivingroomLeft "Rollladen" <rollershutter> (gZWaveNode16, gHomeShuttersEG, gHomeEGLivingRoom) {zwave="16:0:command=SWITCH_MULTILEVEL", imperihab="room:Wohnraum,label:Rollladen,type:DevShutter,watts:zWaveShutterEGLivingroomLeft"}
Number zWaveSensor2Temperatur "Temperatur EG [%.1f °C]" <temperature> (gZWaveNode2, gTemperature, gHomeEGTV) {zwave="2:3:command=SENSOR_MULTILEVEL, sensor_type=1, sensor_scale=0", imperihab="room:TV,label:Temperatur,type:DevTemperature,watts:zWaveSensor2Temperatur"} 
Number	nOffice_Temperature { zwave="3:command=SENSOR_MULTILEVEL,sensor_type=1", imperihab="room:Office,label:Office Temperature,hygroId:nOffice_Humidity" }
Number	nOffice_Humidity { zwave="3:command=SENSOR_MULTILEVEL,sensor_type=5" }
