# Freebox Binding
![](/logos/freebox.png)
This binding integrates the Freebox Revolution (opens new window) and Freebox Delta (opens new window) to your openHAB installation.
The 'server' Bridge can be connected to Free infrastructures either by xDSL or fiber optic.
# Supported Things
This binding supports the following thing types:
Thing | Thing Type | Description |
---|---|---|
server | Bridge | The Freebox Server. |
phone | Thing | The phone wired to the Freebox Server. |
net_device | Thing | A network device on the local network. |
net_interface | Thing | A network interface from a device on the local network. |
airplay | Thing | An AirPlay device in the local network. |
# Discovery
The Freebox Server is discovered automatically through mDNS in the local network. After a Freebox Server is discovered and available to openHAB, the binding will automatically discover phone, network devices / interfaces and AirPlay devices with video capability in the local network. Note that the discovered thing will be setup to use only HTTP API (and not HTTPS) because only an IP can be automatically determined while a domain name is required to use HTTPS with a valid certificate.
# Binding configuration
The binding has the following configuration options, which can be set for "binding:freebox":
Parameter | Name | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
callbackUrl | Callback URL | URL to use for playing notification sounds, e.g. http://192.168.0.2:8080 (opens new window) | no |
# Thing Configuration
# Server
The server bridge thing requires the following configuration parameters:
Parameter Label | Parameter ID | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
Freebox Network Address | fqdn | The IP address / FQDN of the Freebox Server (can include port number). | false | mafreebox.freebox.fr (opens new window) |
Application token | appToken | Token generated by the Freebox Server. | false | |
Refresh Interval | refreshInterval | The refresh interval in seconds which is used to poll given Freebox Server. | false | 30 |
Use only HTTP API | useOnlyHttp | Use HTTP API even if HTTPS is available. | false | false |
Enable Phone Discovery | discoverPhone | Enable the discovery of phone things. | false | true |
Enable Network Device Discovery | discoverNetDevice | Enable the discovery of network device things. | false | true |
Enable Network Interface Discovery | discoverNetInterface | Enable the discovery of network interface things. | false | true |
Enable AirPlay Receiver Discovery | discoverAirPlayReceiver | Enable the discovery of AirPlay receiver things. | false | true |
If the parameter fqdn is not set, the binding will use the default address used by Free to access your Freebox Server (mafreebox.freebox.fr (opens new window)). The bridge thing will initialize only if a valid application token (parameter appToken) is filled.
# Phone
The phone thing requires the following configuration parameters:
Parameter Label | Parameter ID | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
Phone State Refresh Interval | refreshPhoneInterval | The refresh interval in seconds which is used to poll given Freebox Server for phone state. | false | 2 |
Phone Calls Refresh Interval | refreshPhoneCallsInterval | The refresh interval in seconds which is used to poll given Freebox Server for phone calls. | false | 60 |
# Network device
The net_device thing requires the following configuration parameters:
Parameter Label | Parameter ID | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
MAC Address | macAddress | The MAC address of the network device. | true |
# Network interface
The net_interface thing requires the following configuration parameters:
Parameter Label | Parameter ID | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
IP Address | ipAddress | The IP address (v4 or v6) of the network interface. | true |
# AirPlay device
The airplay thing requires the following configuration parameters:
Parameter Label | Parameter ID | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
Name | name | Name of the AirPlay device | true |
Password | password | AirPlay password | false |
Accept all MP3 | acceptAllMp3 | Accept any bitrate for MP3 audio or only bitrates greater than 64 kbps | false |
# Authentication
You will have to authorize openHAB to connect to your Freebox. Here is the process described :
Step 1 At binding startup, if no token is recorded in the Freebox Server (bridge) configuration, the binding will run a pairing request
Step 2 Run to your Freebox and approve the pairing request for openHAB Freebox Binding that is displayed on the Freebox screen
Step 3 the application token is automatically recorded in the Freebox Server (bridge) configuration
Step 4 you can use the console command freebox <bridgeUID> apptoken
to display the application token and use it later to set up your thing in a configuration file
Optionally you can log in your Freebox admin console to allocate needed rights to openHAB
Once initialized, the thing will generate all available channels.

# Example
# Things
Here is an example with minimal configuration parameters (using default values). It will first connect to mafreebox.freebox.fr (opens new window) using HTTPS (and will failback to HTTP if HTTPS access is not available).
Bridge freebox:server:fb "Freebox Revolution" [ appToken="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ] {
Thing phone Phone "Phone"
Thing net_device tv1 "TV living room" [ macAddress="XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" ]
Thing net_interface tv2 "TV bedroom" [ ipAddress="192.168.0.100" ]
Thing airplay player "Freebox Player (AirPlay)" [ name="Freebox Player" ]
}
Here is another example overwritting default configuration parameters:
Bridge freebox:server:fb "Freebox Revolution" [ fqdn="abcdefgh.fbxos.fr", appToken="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", refreshInterval=20, useOnlyHttp=false, discoverPhone=false, discoverNetDevice=false, discoverNetInterface=false, discoverAirPlayReceiver=false ] {
Thing phone Phone "Phone" [ refreshPhoneInterval=10, refreshPhoneCallsInterval=120 ]
Thing net_device tv1 "TV living room" [ macAddress="XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" ]
Thing net_interface tv2 "TV bedroom" [ ipAddress="192.168.0.100" ]
