# SiemensHVAC Binding
This binding provides support for the Siemens HVAC controller ecosystem, and the Web Gateway interface OZW672. A typical system is composed of:
There are many different HVAC controllers depending on model, from many different PAC manufacturers. A Siemens RVS41.813/327 inside an Atlantic Hybrid Duo was used for development, and is fully supported and tested.
Siemens has a complete set of controller references under the name "Siemens Albatros". Here is a picture of such a device. You can also find this device in other types of heating systems, such as boiler- or solar-based systems.
You can find information about the OZW672.01 gateway on the Siemens website:
OZW 672 Page (opens new window)
With this binding, you will be able to:
- Consult the different parameters of your system, like temperature, current heating mode, water temperature, and many more.
- Modify the functioning mode of your device: temperature set point, heating mode, and others.
The OZW672 gateway supports many different languages (about 16). The binding should work with all language choices, but is currently tested more thoroughly with French and English as configured language. If you use another language, and find some issues, you can report them on the openHAB forum.
# Discovery
Discovery of the gateway can be done using UPnP. Switch the gateway off and on to make it announce itself on the network. The gateway should appear in the Inbox a few minutes after. Be aware that you'll need to modify the password in the gateway parameters right after discovery to make it work properly. Also note that the first initialization can take a little longer because the binding needs to read all metadata from the device.
Currently, testing was done with the OZW672.x series. No tests were conducted with the OZW772.x series; the code currently doesn't handle initialization of an OZW772 gateway. You can request support in the community forum if you have this gateway model and want it to be supported.
Discovery of the HVAC device inside your PAC (controller of type RVS...) has to be done through the Scan button inside the binding. Go to the Thing page, click on the "+" button, select the SiemensHVAC binding, and then click Scan. Your device should appear on the page after a few seconds. Only tests in real conditions with the RVS41.813/327 have been done, but it should work with other types as the API interface is standard.
# Bridge Configuration
| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| baseUrl | yes | The address of the OZW672 device | |
| userName | yes | Administrator | The user name to log into the OZW672 |
| userPassword | yes | The user password to log into the OZW672 |
# Channels
Channels are auto-discovered; you'll find them on the RVS things. They are organized the same way as on the LCD screen of your PAC device: by top-level menu and sub-functions. Each channel is strongly typed, so for example, for heating mode, openHAB will provide you with a list of choices supported by the device.
| Channel | Description | Type | Unit | Security Access Level | ReadOnly | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1724#1725-optgmode-hc1 | Set Operating mode heat circuit 1 (Automatic, Comfort, Reduced, Protection) | operating-mode-hc | R/W | true | ||
| 1724#1726-roomtemp-comfsetp-hc1 | Room temperature comfort setpoint HC1 | room-temp-comfort-setpoint-hc | R/W | true |
