An installation guide for the openHAB API bindings is part of their general description.

Thing

UID:
  • tinkerforge:brickletindustrialanalogoutv2:[UID]
Required firmware version:
  • 2.0.0
Firmware update supported:
  • yes
Channels:
Actions:
Parameters:
  • Output Configuration – Type: Choice, Default: Voltage
  • Sets the output configuration. As the output voltage and current level depend on each other, only one can be controlled at the same time.
  • Options: Current, Voltage

  • Voltage Range – Type: Choice, Default: 0 To 10V
  • Configures the voltage range. The resolution will always be 12 bit. This means, that the precision is higher with a smaller range.
  • Options: 0 To 5V, 0 To 10V

  • Current Range – Type: Choice, Default: 4 To 20mA
  • Configures the current range. The resolution will always be 12 bit. This means, that the precision is higher with a smaller range.
  • Options: 4 To 20mA, 0 To 20mA, 0 To 24mA

  • Output LED – Type: Choice, Default: Show Out Status
  • You can turn the Out LED off, on or show a heartbeat. You can also set the LED to Out Status. In this mode the LED can either be turned on with a pre-defined threshold or the intensity of the LED can change with the output value (voltage or current).
  • Options: Off, On, Show Heartbeat, Show Out Status

  • Output LED Status Mode – Type: Choice, Default: Intensity
  • For each channel you can choose between threshold and intensity mode. In threshold mode you can define a positive or a negative threshold. For a positive threshold set the \"min\" parameter to the threshold value in mV or µA above which the LED should turn on and set the \"max\" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a positive threshold of 5V, the LED will turn on as soon as the output value exceeds 5V and turn off again if it goes below 5V. For a negative threshold set the \"max\" parameter to the threshold value in mV or µA below which the LED should turn on and set the \"min\" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a negative threshold of 5V, the LED will turn on as soon as the output value goes below 5V and the LED will turn off when the output value exceeds 5V. In intensity mode you can define a range mV or µA that is used to scale the brightness of the LED. Example with min=2V, max=8V: The LED is off at 2V and below, on at 8V and above and the brightness is linearly scaled between the values 2V and 8V. If the min value is greater than the max value, the LED brightness is scaled the other way around.
  • Options: Threshold, Intensity

  • Output LED Status Minumum – Type: decimal, Default: 0, Min: 0, Max: 10
  • See Output LED Status Mode for further explaination.

  • Output LED Status Maximum – Type: decimal, Default: 10, Min: 0, Max: 10
  • See Output LED Status Mode for further explaination.

  • Status LED Configuration – Type: Choice, Default: Show Status
  • The status LED configuration. By default the LED shows communication traffic between Brick and Bricklet, it flickers once for every 10 received data packets. You can also turn the LED permanently on/off or show a heartbeat. If the Bricklet is in bootloader mode, the LED is will show heartbeat by default.
  • Options: Off, On, Show Heartbeat, Show Status

Actions

Actions can be used in rules by creating an action object. All actions return a Map<String, Object>. Returned values can be accessed by name, sometimes the type deduction needs some hints, as shown below:

val actions = getActions("tinkerforge", "tinkerforge:brickletindustrialanalogoutv2:[UID]")
val hwVersion = actions.brickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2GetIdentity().get("hardwareVersion") as short[]
logInfo("Example", "Hardware version: " + hwVersion.get(0) + "." + hwVersion.get(1) + "." + hwVersion.get(2))
