+# 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.
+
+## 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.
+
+
+## Thing Configuration
+
+The Air Conditioners IP address and refresh rate (in seconds) and network broadcast address are set at time of discovery.  However, in the event that any of this information changes, the Air Conditioners configuration must be updated.
+
+## Channels
+
+The following channels are supported for fans:
+
+| Channel Name            | Item Type    | Description                                           |
