Item Binding Configuration

mystromecopower="<friendlyName>"

The friendlyName is given to your device on Mystrom site. If not sure about the friendlyNames of your devices, take a look in your openhab.log. The discovered devices are listed.

Examples, how to configure your items in your items file, you can configure as Switch, Number or String, String is usefull for scripting because you can receive the state on, off or offline:

Switch WallFanOffice_Switch     {mystromecopower="lightBathroom"}
Number WallFanOffice_Number     {mystromecopower="lightBathroom"}
String WallFanOffice_String     {mystromecopower="lightBathroom"}                   

Switch: used to get state on/off of the device, accepted commands are on,off. For master device supports restart command to restart the master. Number: used to receive consumption in Watt of the device, doesn't support command. *String: used to receive state on/off/offline.
