LOL, I guess I was too impatient
Bernard, have you already done the firmware upgrade?

@Digit: you try first

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
Hopefully they did not follow this forum

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
Updated the firmware and software without any problems sofar.
I can still read and control my valvues with my own software, not used the weekprog yet.

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
yes, I have done the update without any big problem. The only issue was the java application did choose an other port. My homeseer script runs as before.

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
They probably made a mistake!
again an update to 1.3.1?

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
yeah, reading the ELV forum about this MAX! Funk-Heizungsregler-System shows a lot of problems still, including the time sync issue.
I'm currently using 1.3.1, but the only issue they solved in this version is "Haussteuerung war nicht aufrufbar", which was an issue in the java application 1.3.0.. ;-(.

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
Right, reading the ELV forum ain't good for your mood
And the comments of the ELV staff are really good; like "during our tests we have not had your problem" (so it doesn't exist?) and "we will notify the manufacturer" and non-answers like that - really helps a lot!
But that didn't keep me from ordering 2 new Radiator Thermostats

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
I have currently running 8 thermostats, I don't need more ( I think ). Until the type sync issue is solved I have set all thermostats on default 17 and I make the changes via Homeseer.

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
Hi all,
I have created a separate topic with the latest version of my Homeseer script to monitor & control the Max! Thermostats, see domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=66& ... amp;t=6850.

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
I created a webpage for the MAX! Radiator Thermostats so I can closely monitor their behavior. I've had "some" problems, of which the last one seems to be resolved earlier this evening (that's why the charts still look a bit weird, with temperature setpoints jumping up and down).
Control of the temperatures in the respective rooms/zones can be done from the touchscreen and I developed my own weekly program in my Domotica system, so I don't have to rely on the MAX! Cube for that.

Hi Digit,
One of the rooms is your Living. Does that mean you have a room thermostat (Proliphix NT20e in your case) and thermostatic valves in your living?

Re: Individual Room Control ELV the MAX!
The NT20e is still on the wall in the livingroom, but inactive since a year or so; it has been replaced by a Honeywell EvoHome Evotouch (I still have to update my website ). The livingroom is heated with floor heating.
But we kept 2 radiators there to be able to give the temperature in the living a 'boost' if needed, and those valves on the radiators in the livingroom are there to be able to control the radiators without the need to do that manually.
Once everything is in place (I'm not done yet) regarding controlling the temperature in all the rooms and the MAX! system has proven itself, these radiator thermostats will only be used as ON/OFF (for the boost).
