# Atlona Binding

This binding integrates Atlona (opens new window) AT-UHD-PRO3 or AT-PRO3HD66M HDBaseT matrix switches into your openHAB installation.

# Supported Things

This binding supports the following thing types:

Thing Thing Type Description
pro3-44m Thing The AT-UHD-PRO3-44M 4x4 HDBaseT matrix (opens new window)
pro3-66m Thing The AT-UHD-PRO3-66M 6x6 HDBaseT matrix (opens new window)
pro3-88m Thing The AT-UHD-PRO3-88M 8x8 HDBaseT matrix (opens new window)
pro3-1616m Thing The AT-UHD-PRO3-1616M 16x16 HDBaseT matrix (opens new window)
pro3-hd66m Thing The AT-PRO3HD66M 6x6 HDBaseT matrix (opens new window)

# Discovery

The Atlona AT-UHD-PRO3 switch can be discovered by starting a discovery scan in the UI and then logging into your switch and pressing the "SDDP" button on the "Network" tab. The "SDDP" (simple device discovery protocol) button will initiate the discovery process. If "Telnet Login" is enabled ("Network" tab from the switch configuration UI), you will need to set the username and password in the configuration of the newly discovered thing before a connection can be made.

# Thing Configuration

The thing has the following configuration parameters:

Name Type Description Default Required Advanced
ipAddress text Hostname or IP address of the matrix switch N/A yes no
userName text The username to login with (only if Telnet Login is enabled) N/A no yes
password text The password to login with (only if Telnet Login is enabled) N/A no yes
polling Integer The interval to poll for the current state of the switch in sec. 600 no yes
ping Integer The interval to ping the switch to keep the connection alive in sec. 30 no yes
retryPolling Integer The interval to retry a connection if the connection has failed in sec. 10 no yes

# username/password

The userName/password configuration options are optional and are only required if you have your switch set with "Telnet Login" enabled (on the "Network" tab from the switch configuration UI). The user must be a valid user listed on the "Users" tab of the switch configuration UI in this case.

# polling

Polling will automatically occur when (re)connecting to the switch to get the initial state of the switch. If you have anything outside of openHAB that can modify the switch state (front panel, IR, telnet session or another automation system), you will likely want to set this setting to a much lower value.

# ping

The Atlona switch will time out any IP connection after a specific time (specified by "IP Timeout" on the "Network" tab from the switch configuration UI - 120 by default). The ping setting MUST be lower than that value. If it is higher than the "IP Timeout" value, the switch will timeout our connection and the thing will go OFFLINE (until a reconnect attempt is made).

# presetcmd

The presetcmd channel will take the following commands:

Command Description
saveX Saves the current input/output to preset X
recallX Sets the input/output to preset X
clearX Clears the preset X

Note: if X doesn't exist - nothing will occur. The # of presets allowed depends on the firmware you are using (5 presets up to rev 13, 10 for rev 14 and above).

# matrixcmd

The matrixcmd channel will take the following commands:

Command Description
resetmatrix Resets the matrix back to its default values (USE WITH CARE!). Note: some firmware upgrades require a resetmatrix after installing.
resetports Resets the ports back to their default values (outputX=inputX)
allportsX Sets all the output ports to the input port X

Note: if X doesn't exist - nothing will occur. The # of presets allowed depends on the firmware you are using (5 presets up to rev 13, 10 for rev 14 and above).

# Changes/Warnings

Note: Firmware versions 16.1.x are now the latest available for the AT-UHD-PRO3 line. The following issues were noted back when this binding was originally developed using older firmware versions.

As of firmware 1.6.03 (rev 13), there were three issues with the Atlona firmware:

  • The clearX command does not work. The TCP/IP command "ClearX" as specified in Atlona's protocol will ALWAYS return a "Command Failed". Please avoid this channel until Atlona releases a new firmware.

  • There is no way to query for the current status of panellock and irenable. The thing will default panellock to OFF and irenable to ON at startup.

  • If you make a change in the switches UI that requires a reboot (mainly changing any of the settings on the "Network" tab in the switch configuration UI), this add-on's connection will be inconsistently closed at different times. The thing will go OFFLINE and then back ONLINE when the reconnect attempt is made - and then it starts all over again. Please make sure you reboot as soon as possible when the switch UI notifies you.

  • A bug in the firmware will sometimes cause memory presets to disappear after a reboot.

As of firmware 1.6.8 (rev 14),

  • The clearX command has been fixed and works now.

  • The number of presets has increased to 10.

  • If telnet mode is enabled, you must use the admin username/password to issue a resetmatrix command.

Here is an example with minimal configuration parameters (using default values with no telnet login):

atlona:pro3-88m:home [ ipAddress="192.168.1.30" ]

Here is another example with minimal configuration parameters (using default values with telnet login):

atlona:pro3-88m:home [ ipAddress="192.168.1.30", userName="me", password="12345" ]

Here is a full configuration example:

atlona:pro3-88m:home [ ipAddress="192.168.1.30", userName="me", password="12345", polling=600, ping=30, retryPolling=10 ]
