Hyperion Binding

This binding integrates openHAB with the Hyperion ambient lighting software. Further details on the Hyperion project can be found here. (opens new window)

Supported Things

• Hyperion Server (may be referred to as V1)
• Hyperion.ng (opens new window) Server

Binding Configuration

The binding itself does not require any special configuration.

Discovery

Automatic background discovery only works for Hyperion.ng (opens new window) servers as they advertise using mDNS. You must manually configure a Hyperion Server V1 either through a UI / REST or .things file.

Thing Configuration

Hyperion Server (V1)

In order to use a Hyperion Server it must be properly configured. You can do this either through a UI / REST or through static .thing files.

Parameter	Data type	Required	Example
host	String	Y	"192.168.0.10"
port	Integer	Y	19444
priority	Integer	Y	50
poll_frequency	Integer	Y	15

To manually configure a Hyperion Server you must specify the following parameters: host, port, priority and polling frequency.

In the thing file, this looks for e.g. like

Thing hyperion:serverV1:myServer [ host="192.168.0.10", port=19444, priority=50, poll_frequency=15]

Hyperion.ng (opens new window) Server

In order to use a Hyperion.ng (opens new window) Server it must be properly configured. You can do this either through a UI / REST or through static .thing files.

Parameter	Data type	Required	Example
host	String	Y	"192.168.0.10"
port	Integer	Y	19444
priority	Integer	Y	50
poll_frequency	Integer	Y	15
origin	String	Y	"openHAB"

To manually configure a Hyperion.ng (opens new window) Server you must specify the following parameters: host, port, priority, polling frequency and origin.

In the .things file, this looks for e.g. like

Thing hyperion:serverNG:myServer [ host="192.168.0.10", port=19444, priority=50, poll_frequency=15, origin="openHAB"]
