# FENECON Binding

The FENECON Binding integrates the FENECON energy storage system (opens new window) device into the openHAB system via REST-API (opens new window).

With the binding, it is possible to request status information from FENECON Home to allow you home automation decisions based on the current energy management.

This makes it possible, for example, to switch on other consumers such as the dishwasher or washing machine in the case of power overproduction.

# Supported Things

Currently only one Thing is supported: The home-device connection to the FENECON energy storage system.

This Binding was tested with an FENECON HOME 10 (opens new window) device.

# Discovery

Auto-discovery is not supported.

# Thing Configuration

The FENECON Thing only needs to be configured with the hostname, all other parameters are optional and prefilled with the suitable default values:

Parameter	Description
hostname	Hostname or IP address of the FENECON device, e.g. 192.168.1.11
password	Password of the FENECON device. The password for guest access is set by default.
port	Port of the FENECON device. Default: 8084
refreshInterval	Interval the device is polled in sec. Default 30 seconds

# Channels

The FENECON binding currently only provides access to read out the values from the energy storage system.
