TinkerForge is a system of open source hardware building blocks that allows you to combine sensor and actuator blocks by plug and play. You can create your individual hardware system by choosing the necessary building blocks for your project and combine it with other home automation products. There are many blocks available e.g for temperature, humidity or air pressure measurement as well as for I/O, LCDs and motor control. You will find a complete List of available blocks here.
This binding connects the TinkerForge devices to the openHAB event bus. Sensor values from devices are made available to openHAB and actions on devices can be triggered by openHAB.
The binding supports the connection to several brickd instances. The TinkerForge auto reconnect feature is supported. Furthermore even if the initial connect failed the binding will make retries to get connected to the brickd.
The TinkerForge binding bundle is available as a separate (optional) download. For installation of the binding, please see Wiki page Bindings.
In order to connect openHAB to TinkerForge devices you need to define all the brickd hosts and ports in the openhab.cfg file. The following properties must be configured to define a brickd connection:
tinkerforge:hosts=<IP address>[:port][:<secret>] ...
The properties indicated by '<...>' need to be replaced with an actual value. Properties surrounded by square brackets are optional. Several brickd configurations are delimited by a space.
port and secret are optional values. You must specify the port if your brickd doesn't use the default port 4223. secret must be specified if you use a brickd connection with authentication: (see also Tinkerforge Website)
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| IP address | IP address of the brickd |
| port | The listening port of of the brickd (optional, default 4223) |
| secret | password used for authentication |
Authenticate with password 1234 and default port
tinkerforge:hosts=127.0.0.1::1234
Authenticate with password 1234 and individual port 4224
tinkerforge:hosts=127.0.0.1:4224:1234
You may also configure several different hosts. For connecting several brickds, use multiple <IP address> statements delimited by a space.
tinkerforge:hosts=127.0.0.1:4224:1234 192.168.1.100::secret
In order to bind an item to a device, you need to provide configuration settings. The easiest way to do so is to add binding information in your item file (in the folder '${openhab_home}/configurations/items').
The configuration of the TinkerForge binding item looks like this:
tinkerforge="(uid=<your_id> [, subid=<your_subid>] | name=<your_name>)"
The configuration is quite simple. You either have to set a value for the uid and optionally for the subid of the device, or - if the device is configured in openhab.cfg - the "symbolic name" of the device.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| uid | TinkerForge uid of the device (Use the Brick Viewer to get this value) |
| subid | optional subid of the device |
| name | symbolic name of the device. The name is only available if there is some configuration for the device in openhab.cfg. |
For additional configuration options see the appropriate device section.
There are several configuration parameters to control the behavior of the devices. The available parameters depend on the device type.
For most of the devices no configuration is needed in openhab.cfg, they can be used with reasonable defaults.
If you want to get rid of uid and subid statements in the items or rule file, you can use openhab.cfg to get a symbolic name.
A configuration line for a TinkerForge Device looks like this in openhab.cfg:
tinkerforge:<symbolic name>.<property>=<value>
The symbolic name string can be used in the items configuration as an alternative for the uid and subid values.
The following table lists the general available properties.
| Property | Description | Device |
|---|---|---|
| uid | TinkerForge uid of the device (use the Brick Viewer to get this value) | mandatory for all devices |
| type | the device type | mandatory for all devices |
| subid | subid of the device, subid's are used if a brick/bricklet houses more then one device (e.g. the Dual Relay Bricklet) | mandatory for sub devices |
The following table shows the TinkerForge device, its device type, its subid and if callback is supported.

The TinkerForge CallbackListeners - if available - are used to observe the sensor values of the devices. These listeners are configured to update sensor values at a given time period (callbackPeriod). The default configuration sets the callbackPeriod to 1 second. This value can be changed in openhab.cfg. The values must be given in milliseconds.
The callbackPeriod controls the amount of traffic from the TF hardware to the binding.
In addition to the Callback a threshold value can be configured. This threshold means that even if the listener reports a changed value, the value is only send to the openHAB eventbus if: the difference between the last value and the current value is bigger than the threshold value. You can think of it as a kind of hysteresis, it dampens the oscillation of openHAB item values.
The threshold controls the amount of traffic from the binding to the openHAB eventbus. Threshold values have the same unit as sensor values, no conversion is needed.
Devices which do not support callbacks will be polled with a configurable interval, the default is 60000 milliseconds. This value can be changed in openhab.cfg:
tinkerforge:refresh=<value in milliseconds>
Technical description see Tinkerforge Website
The device supports Dimmer, Rollershutter and Number items. Besides that the speed can be set using a percent value. The number items show the current velocity. The values are reported using the VelocityListener. "callbackPeriod" and "threshold" for the listener can be configured in openhab.cfg.
- callbackPeriod: milliseconds
- threshold: numeric value
The item configuration options are:
- speed: the target speed (Switch)
- max: the maximum speed (Dimmer, Rollershutter)
- min: the minimum speed (Dimmer, Rollershutter)
- step: the step value for increasing decreasing speed (Dimmer)
- leftspeed: the speed when the left rollershutter controller is pressed or command "DOWN" was send
- rightspeed: the speed when the right rollershutter controller is pressed or command "UP" was send
- acceleration: acceleration overrides value from openhab.cfg
- drivemode: drivemode overrides value from openhab.cfg
Values for acceleration and drivmode are default values and may be overridden by item definition.

The bricklet returns the acceleration in x, y and z direction. The values are given in g/1000 (1g = 9.80665m/s²).
Bricklet temperature can be measured in degrees Celsius, LED can be turned on to indicate a specific acceleration was reached.
Decreasing data rate or full scale range will also decrease the noise on the data.

Moving average is a calculation to analyze data points by creating series of averages of different subsets of the full data set. Property $movingAverage sets the length of a moving averaging for the measured voltage, default is 50, $movingAverage=1 turns averaging off. With less averaging, there is more noise on the data.

Subdevice property $barometer_temperature returns the temperature of the air pressure sensor which is internally used for temperature compensation of the air pressure measurement. The temperature sub device does not support callbackPeriod, it will be polled. The polling interval can be configured using tinkerforge:refresh property.

The Dual Button Bricklet has four sub devices: two leds and two buttons. The subids are:
- dualbutton_leftled
- dualbutton_rightled
- dualbutton_leftbutton
- dualbutton_rightbutton
There are two operating modes for the leds: with the autotoggle=True the leds are automatically toggled whenever the corresponding button is pressed. With the autotoggle=False mode the leds are fully controlled with openHAB UIs or rules. The default autotoggle mode is autotoggle=False. The autotoggle mode can be configured using openhab.cfg.
There are also two operating modes for the buttons. The buttons can behave like a switch or like a tactile switch.
- Switch mode The switch mode operates like this: pressing the button toggles the switch state, if state was ON it goes to OFF and vice versa. Releasing the button doesn't change anything, only the next button press will change the state.
- Tactile switch mode Pressing the button changes the switch state to ON and releasing the button changes the state back to OFF again.

There are three sub devices: joystick_xposition, joystick_yposition and joystick_button. Callback period for xy position defaults to 10 milli seconds. CallbackPeriod must be configured on bricklet_joystick device, because x and y position can not have different callback periods.
Two operating modes for the button. The button can behave like a switch or like a tactile switch.
- Switch mode The switch mode operates like this: pressing the button toggles the switch state, if state was ON it goes to OFF and vice versa. Releasing the button doesn't change anything, only the next button press will change the state.
- Tactile switch mode Pressing the button changes the switch state to ON and releasing the button changes the state back to OFF again.
Switch Mode is the default mode you can change the mode to tactile by adding a line like this to your openhab.cfg:
tinkerforge:joystickbutton.tactile=True
tinkerforge:joystick.uid=<your_uid>
tinkerforge:joystick.type=bricklet_joystick

The laser will be enabled by default on system start. This can be changed by setting enableLaserOnStartup to false on the bricklet_laser_range_finder type in openhab.cfg. If the laser is already enabled it will never be disabled on openHAB startup.
Moving average is a calculation to analyze data points by creating series of averages of different subsets of the full data set.
tinkerforge:lrf.uid=<your_uid>
tinkerforge:lrf.type=bricklet_laser_range_finder
tinkerforge:lrf.enableLaserOnStartup=false
Properties $distanceAverageLength and $velocityAverageLength set the length of a moving averaging for the distance and velocity. Setting the property to 0 will turn the averaging completely off. With less averaging, there is more noise on the data. The range for the averaging is 0-30, default value is 10.
Property $mode sets the mode for measurements, five modes are available, one mode for distance measurements and four modes for velocity measurements with different ranges and resolutions.

The LCD20x4 is a bit special as it acts as actuator which can receive text messages. To achieve this, you have to configure the device as String item.
What’s the meaning of this magic string?
sendCommand(TF_LCD, String::format("TFNUM<213>%4s"Barometer.state.format("%d")
))
TFNUM is just a flag to signal the binding that some position information is passed. The first number is the line number, starting from 0. The second and third number are interpreted as the position in the line, starting from 0.
The above example would write the current value of the barometer bricklet to line 3 starting from position 14, with a fixed width of 4 (this is because of %4s).

Supported chip types are WS2801, WS2811 and WS2812 (also called "NeoPixel").
An entry in openhab.cfg is mandatory. $type, $frameduration, $chiptype, $clockfrequency and $colorMapping have to be set. The available configuration variables depend on the chip type of the LED strip.
All LEDs can be switched independently. A subdevice $ledgroup can be set to group LED's together.
The colormapping of the LED chip types are not standardized, therefore the sequence of the letters "rgb" can be changed individually to match the the color of your LED Stripswitch.

The Piezo Speaker Bricklet supports two modes:
- sending morse codes with configurable frequency
- sending tones with configurable duration and frequency
Configuration is done through item definition. In order to use different tone sequences you need to use one item per tone sequence.
Example:
Switch Beep "Beep" { autoupdate="false", tinkerforge="uid=<your_uid>, mode=beep, durations=500|100, frequencies=10|10000, repeat=2" }
Switch Morse "Morse" { autoupdate="false", tinkerforge="uid=<your_uid>, mode=morse, morsecodes=...---...|---, frequencies=10|10000, repeat=2" }
With the repeat statement the tone sequence is repeated with the given number.

There are two sub devices: encoder and button. Callback period for encoder defaults to 10 milli seconds. CallbackPeriod can be configured for the encoder sub device.
The openHAB action TinkerforgeAction comes up with the action tfRotaryEncoderClear. tfRotaryEncoderClear(String uid) clears the rotary encoder counter with the given uid.
Example:
rule "Clear"
when Item Clear changed
then
tfRotaryEncoderClear("<your_uid>")
end
Two operating modes for the button. The button can behave like a switch or like a tactile switch.
- Switch mode The switch mode operates like this: pressing the button toggles the switch state, if state was ON it goes to OFF and vice versa. Releasing the button doesn't change anything, only the next button press will change the state.
- Tactile switch mode Pressing the button changes the switch state to ON and releasing the button changes the state back to OFF again.
Switch Mode is the default mode you can change the mode to tactile by adding a line like this to your openhab.cfg:
tinkerforge:button.tactile=True
tinkerforge:encoder.uid=<your_uid>
tinkerforge:encoder.subid=encoder
tinkerforge:encoder.type=rotary_encoder

openHAB is preinstalled on the RED Brick image and can be configured with the TinkerForge BrickViewer.
The TinkerForge Action plugin provides direct interaction with some of the TinkerForge devices (since 1.7.0). The action depends on the TinkerForge binding. In order to use these actions you must install the TinkerForge Action bundle and the TinkerForge Binding and add at least a hosts configuration value for the binding in openhab.cfg. These action functions are available:
-
tfClearLCD(String uid)Clears the display of the LCD with the given uid.
Example:
rule "clear lcd" when Item ClearLCD received command ON then tfClearLCD("<your_uid>") end -
tfServoSetposition(String uid, String num, String position, String velocity, String acceleration)Sets the position of a TinkerForge servo with the uid $uid and servo number to the position $position using the speed $speed and acceleration $acceleration.
Example:
rule "move servo" when Item MoveServo received command ON then tfServoSetposition("<your_uid>", "servo0", "0", "65535", "65535") Thread::sleep(1000) tfServoSetposition("<your_uid>", "servo0", "-9000", "65535", "65535") Thread::sleep(1000) tfServoSetposition("<your_uid>", "servo0", "9000", "65535", "65535") end -
tfDCMotorSetspeed(String uid, String speed, String acceleration, String drivemode)Sets the speed of a TinkerForge DC motor with the given uid to $speed using the acceleration $acceleration and the drivemode $drivemode.
- speed: value between -32767 - 32767
- drivemode is either "break" or "coast"
Example:
rule "move motor" when Item DCMOVE received command ON then var String acceleration = "10000" var String speed = "15000" tfDCMotorSetspeed("<your_uid>", speed, acceleration, "break") Thread::sleep(1000) tfDCMotorSetspeed("<your_uid>", speed, acceleration, "break") Thread::sleep(1000) tfDCMotorSetspeed("<your_uid>", speed, acceleration, "break") Thread::sleep(1000) tfDCMotorSetspeed("<your_uid>", speed, acceleration, "break") end -
tfDCMotorSetspeed(String uid, Short speed, Integer acceleration, String drivemode)Sets the speed of a TinkerForge DC motor with the given uid to $speed using the acceleration $acceleration and the drivemode $drivemode.
- speed: value between -32767 - 32767
- drivemode is either "break" or "coast"
Example:
rule "move motor" when Item DCMOVE received command ON then var Integer acceleration = 10000 var Short speed = 15000 tfDCMotorSetspeed("<your_uid>", speed, acceleration, "break") Thread::sleep(1000) tfDCMotorSetspeed("<your_uid>", speed, acceleration, "break") Thread::sleep(1000) tfDCMotorSetspeed("<your_uid>", speed, acceleration, "break") Thread::sleep(1000) tfDCMotorSetspeed("<your_uid>", speed, acceleration, "break") end -
tfRotaryEncoderClear(String uid)Clears the rotary encoder counter with the given uid.
Example:
rule "Clear" when Item Clear changed then tfRotaryEncoderClear("kHv") end -
tfLoadCellTare(String uid)Sets tare on the load cell bricklet with the given uid.
Example:
rule "Tare" when Item Tare changed to ON then postUpdate(TareValue, Weight.state) tfLoadCellTare("<your_uid>") end
- LCDBacklight now is a sub device of LCD 20×4 Bricklet (items file has to be changed)
- LCD20×4Button now posts an update not a command anymore (rules has to be changed)
- IndustrialQuadRelay sub id numbering now starts from zero (items file has to be changed)
- Threshold values now have the same unit as the sensor value (incompatible change, you may have to update your openhab.cfg).
- Background: Some getters for sensor values of the TinkerForge API return higher precision values by using short values with fractions of the common units, e.g. the Temperature Bricklet returns hundredths of a celsius degree. The binding converts these values to common units using a BigDecimal. Until now the threshold values were applied to the sensor value before this conversion. Because of that the threshold values had to be given as the appropriate fraction. With the drawback that the openHAB users need some knowledge about the behavior of the TinkerForge API. Now the threshold is applied after converting the original values. Therefore the units used for the sensor values and the threshold values are equal.
- Humidity Bricklet
- calculate new threshold values from values of your current configuration: divide by 10
- unity: relative humidity in percent
- Distance IR Bricklet
- calculate new threshold values from values of your current configuration: nothing changed
- unity: millimeter
- Temperature Bricklet
- calculate new threshold values from values of your current configuration: divide by 100
- unity: degree Celsius
- Barometer Bricklet
- calculate new threshold values from values of your current configuration: divide by 1000
- unity: mbar
- Ambient Light Bricklet
- calculate new threshold values from values of your current configuration: divide 10
- unity: Lux
