Hi, I created a [pull request](https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/3213) for a Velbus binding for OpenHAB. It still has to be reviewed and merged, but you can already try it by putting the [compiled jar](https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/libs-pullrequest-local/org/openhab/binding/org.openhab.binding.velbus/2.3.0-SNAPSHOT/org.openhab.binding.velbus-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) in your OpenHAB addons folder. The readme file can be found [here](https://github.com/cedricboon/openhab2-addons/blob/master/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.velbus/README.md). I added all Velbus modules that I was currently able to test. Please tell me if you are interested in other modules, I can add them if you are able to test them. Regards, Cédric ---

Hi Ciceron, Can you try with this version: [https://we.tl/GGFZwEUrFx](https://we.tl/GGFZwEUrFx) It should already support the vmb4ry. Regards, Cédric ---

Yes, a log file would help. On Windows you can find it under …\openHAB2\userdata\logs\openhab.log On Linux the log file will probably be under /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log ---

Hi, The log doesn’t show any problems, so maybe the binding is sending a wrong command to the vmb1dm. You can send 2 different commands, an ON/OFF command with a switch, and a Percentage command with a slider. Are both commands not working, or only one of them? What could also help is if you go to the Logging-tab in VelbusLink, clear the log, perform the action directly on your vmb1dm through VelbusLink and save this log. That way I’ll be able to compare a correctly generated packet with the one that the OpenHAB binding is generating. Regards, Cédric ---

Hi Ciceron, Thanks for the log! I noticed a small difference in the packet, I will try to make a new build of the binding with a few changes tonight or tomorrow. I’m currently using OpenHab on a raspberry pi 3 and it works great. [openHABian](https://docs.openhab.org/installation/openhabian.html) makes the setup very easy! ---

Hi Ciceron, I made a modification for the vmb1dm, can you try this new version? [https://we.tl/QKQzfqmupU](https://we.tl/QKQzfqmupU) Note that you might have to upgrade OpenHAB to the latest snapshot, as it already contains some other changes. (If the OpenHAB log mentions something about “javax.measure” not being found, this means you will have to upgrade) Due to another change the channel names on your “Things” will probably also be gone. To fix this you can simply delete all things except the “Bridge”, and re-discover them again through the inbox. As you keep the “Bridge”-thing your items configuration will stay the same. Regards, Cédric Edit: made one more fix in the jar file ---
