# IoTaWatt Binding

This binding integrates IoTaWatt™ Open WiFi Electric Power Monitor (opens new window) into openHAB.

Limitations of this version:

  • No authentication support

# Supported Things

The IoTaWatt binding supports one Thing called iotawatt.

# Discovery

The binding does not auto-discover the IoTaWatt device.

# Thing Configuration

# IoTaWatt Thing Configuration

Name Type Description Default Required Advanced
hostname text Hostname or IP address of the device N/A yes no
refreshInterval integer Interval the device is polled in sec. 10 no no
requestTimeout long The request timeout to call the device in sec. 10 no no

# Channels

The binding detects configured inputs and outputs and creates channels for them.

Channel Type ID Read/Write Description
Amps Number:Power amps RO The current amps
Frequency Number:Frequency frequency RO The current AC frequency
Power Factor Number:Dimensionless power-factor RO The current power factor
Apparent Power Number:Power apparent-power RO The current apparent power
Reactive Power Number:Power reactive-power RO The current reactive power
Reactive Power hour Number:Power reactive-power-hour RO The current reactive power hour
Voltage Number:ElectricPotential voltage RO The current voltage
Power Consumption Number:Power watts RO The current power consumption
Phase Number:Dimensionless phase RO The current phase
