# MELCloud Binding
This is an openHAB binding for Mitsubishi MELCloud (https://www.melcloud.com/ (opens new window)). Installing this binding you can control your Mitsubishi devices from openHAB without accessing the MELCloud App and benefiting from all openHAB automations.
# Supported Things
Supported thing types
- melcloudaccount (bridge)
- acdevice
- heatpumpdevice
A bridge is required to connect to your MELCloud account.
# Discovery
Discovery is used after a bridge has been created and configured with your login information.
- Add the binding
- Add a new thing of type melcloudaccount and configure with username and password
- Go to Inbox and start discovery devices using MELCloud Binding
- Supported devices (A.C. Device, Heatpump Device) should appear in your inbox
Binding support also manual thing configuration by thing files.
# Thing Configuration
In order to manually create a thing file and not use the discovery routine you will need to know device MELCloud device ID. This is a bit difficult to get. The easiest way of getting this is enable debug level logging of the binding or discovery devices by the binding (discovered device can be removed afterwards).
