GreeAir Binding

This binding allows you too add Gree Air Conditioners as things. Once added as a thing, the user can control the Air Conditioner, similarly to how the Air Conditioner is controlled using the remote control or smartphone app.

Note : The Gree Air Conditioner must already be setup on the wifi network and must have a fixed IP Address.

UPDATE : Added Fahrenheit Support

Supported Things

This binding supports one Thing type: greeair.

Discovery

Discovery is possible but as yet is not supported in this binding.

Binding Configuration

No binding configuration required.

Manual Thing Creation

Fans can be manually created in the PaperUI or HABmin, or by placing a .things file in the conf/things directory. See example below.
