Freebox Binding

Documentation of the Freebox Binding Bundle

Introduction

For installation of the binding, please see Wiki page Bindings. This binding is intended to users of the french DSL operator Free, using Freebox Revolution (v6).

Currently, it's able to report :

• System informations (Version number, uptime, different cpu temperature, fan speed)
• Connection Status informations (line status, public ip address, upload/download rate, up/downloaded volumes)
• Last call (number, duration, status) And act on :
• wifi network status
• Reboot

Authentication

You'll have to authorise openHAB to connect to your Freebox. Here is the process described :

Step 1 Put these lines in your openhab.cfg file

#################################### Freebox Binding ###########################################
# Freebox server IP address (optional, defaulted to mafreebox.freebox.fr)
#freebox:server=192.168.0.254
# Application token generated by the Freebox server. Empty at first launch, fill it with the provided token
#freebox:apptoken=
# Device Name
freebox:device=openhabsrv
# refresh interval in milliseconds (optional, defaults to 60000)
#freebox:refresh=
################################################################################################

Step 2 Start openhab in a console, you shall see something like this in the logs :

            ####################################################################
            # Please accept activation request directly on your freebox        #
            # Once done, record current Apptoken in your 'openhab.cfg'         #
            # bEK7a7O8GkxxxxxxxxxxXBsKu/xxxttttwj5bXSssd5gUvSXs4vrpuhZwelEo804 #
            ####################################################################

Step 3 Run near your Freebox and approve the pairing request for openHAB Freebox Binding that is displayed on the Freebox screen

Step 4 Copy the apptoken in openhab.cfg freebox:apptoken=bEK7a7O8GkxxxxxxxxxxXBsKu/xxxttttwj5bXSssd5gUvSXs4vrpuhZwelEo804

Step 5 Restart openhab, the authentification of the freebox shall go on automatically.

Optionally you can log in your freebox admin console to allocate needed rights to openhab
