# MEATER Binding

This is an openHAB binding for the MEATER probe, MEATER® is a trademark of Apption Labs™ Limited. A Traeger Company.

This binding uses the MEATER Cloud REST API.

Meater+ Probe

# Supported Things

This binding supports the following thing types:

  • meaterapi: Bridge - Communicates with the MEATER Cloud REST API.

  • meaterprobe: The MEATER probe - Only support for cloud connected MEATER probes (MEATER Block and MEATER Plus)

# Discovery

The binding supports auto-discovery of all MEATER probes belonging to the configured cloud API account.

NOTE: For The Original MEATER and MEATER Plus you need to have your MEATER app running and the MEATER probe(s) must connected to the cloud (out of the charger box) before you start the discovery.

After the configuration of the Bridge, you need to perform a manual scan and then your MEATER probe(s) will be automatically discovered and placed as a thing(s) in the inbox.

# Thing Configuration

When manually configuring the probes, the console command openhab:meater showIds can be used to identify the IDs of all connected probes. Since the probes are unnamed, they can be hard to identify. For this reason, the ambient temperature is included in the list. This might help isolating an individual probe.

# Supported Things and Channels
