# EcoTouch Binding

The openHAB EcoTouch binding allows interaction with a Waterkotte (opens new window) heat pump.

# Supported Things

Thing type Description
geo Waterkotte EcoTouch Geo + EcoVent
air Waterkotte EcoTouch Air + EcoVent

This binding was tested with a Waterkotte DS 5027 Ai DS 5010.5Ai geothermal heat pump.

# Discovery

Discovery is not supported. You need to provide the IP address of the display unit of the heatpump.

# Thing Configuration

Things can be fully configured via the UI. The following information is useful when configuring things via thing configuration files.

Property Type Default Required Description
ip String yes IP address or hostname of the display unit of the heat pump
username String yes since software version 1.6.xx of the display unit: "waterkotte"; previously "admin".
password String yes since software version 1.6.xx of the display unit: "waterkotte"; previously "wtkadmin".
refresh Integer 60 no time in s after which all channels will be requested again from the heat pump
