# Video Disk Recorder (VDR) Binding
The Video Disk Recorder (VDR) binding allows openHAB to control your own digital satellite receiver and [Video Disk Recorder](http://www.tvdr.de).
If you have any suggestions or questions don't hesitate to contact me ([iwow](http://groups.google.com/groups/profile?enc_user=2fum3R0AAACkAo_xkzjYxXMLRwdKLvZ72A6NcFQ3yZH-XCKBlyRD_Q)).
## Binding Configuration
This binding can be configured in the file `services/vdr.cfg`.
| Property | Default | Required | Description |
|----------|---------|:--------:|-------------|
| TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD |
## Item Configuration
The syntax for the VDR binding configuration string is explained here:
```
vdr="<VDR-ID>:<command>[,<VDR-ID>:<command>][,..]"
```
The parts in brackets `[]` signify an optional information.
Command must be one of the following:
- `message`: show message on OSD; must be bound to a String item
- `powerOff`: switch VDR off (same as hit power on remote control); must be bound to a Switch item
- `recording`: recording state; must be bound to a Switch item
- `channel`: channel up / down; can be bound to a Switch item(ON=increase, OFF=decrease) or a number item
- `volume`: volume up / down; can be bound to a Switch item (ON=increase, OFF=decrease) or a number item (value between 0 and 255)
The VDR-Id corresponds to the configuration in openhab.cfg where one has to configure the VDRs. Which looks like this
```
vdr:<id>.host=[host]
vdr:<id>.port=[port]
```
## Examples
### Basic Examples
Here are some examples for valid binding configuration strings:
For Switch items:
```
vdr="LivingRoom:powerOff"
vdr="LivingRoom:recording"
```
For String items:
```
vdr="LivingRoom:message"
```
As a result, your lines in the items file might look like the following:
```
Switch VDR_LivingroomPower "VDR (livingroom) Power" (VDR) {vdr="LivingRoom:powerOff",wol="192.168.1.2#F4:6D:15:32:F3:F7" }
String VDR_LivingroomOSDMessage "VDR (livingroom) OSD message" {vdr="LivingRoom:message"}
Switch VDR_LivingroomChannelUpDown "VDR Livingroom Channel Up/Down" (VDR) {vdr="LivingRoom:channel"}
Number VDR_LivingroomChannel "VDR Livingroom Channel" (VDR) {vdr="LivingRoom:channel"}
Switch VDR_LivingroomVolumeUpDown "VDR Livingroom Volume Up/Down" (VDR) {vdr="LivingRoom:volume"}
Number VDR_LivingroomVolume "VDR Livingroom Volume" (VDR) {vdr="LivingRoom:volume"}
Switch VDR_LivingroomRecording "VDR (livingroom) Recording" (VDR) {vdr="LivingRoom:recording"}
```
### Switch VDR PC on if TV switch on:
This example requires TV with LAN connection.
First you need two items with NetworkHealthBinding
```
Switch TV_PowerState "TV Power State" (VDR) {nh="192.168.1.2" }
Switch VDR_LIVINGROOM_POWER_STATUS "VDR Power Status" (VDR) {nh="192.168.1.3" }
```
A rule for the openHAB rule engine can look like this:
```
rule CheckTVStateOn
when
Item TV_PowerState changed to ON
then
if(VDR_LIVINGROOM_POWER_STATUS?.state==OFF) {
sendCommand(VDR_LivingroomPower, ON);
}
end
```
### Switch VDR PC off if TV switch off
Same requirements and prerequisites as VDR PC on use-case above.
A rule for the openHAB rule engine (not drools) can look like this:
```
rule CheckTVStateOff
when
Item TV_PowerState changed to OFF
then
if(VDR_LIVINGROOM_POWER_STATUS?.state==ON) {
if (VDR_LivingroomRecording?.state==OFF) {
sendCommand(VDR_LivingroomPower, OFF);
}
}
end
```
