Homeseer Script to monitor & Control ELV MAX! Thermostats

[Fischi]

Hi,

Does anybody have a solution to run more than 9 MAX! Thermostats , MAX! wall thermostats and MAX! door and window sensors ??
I' m very interested in these.

Regards, Fischi

HI All,

I have just released a new version, see start post:

20121004 version 02l new functionality:
adapted debug setup. debug levels 0 (no), 1 (all full decoded info), 2 (1 + all base64 decoded info)
improved C: response decoding, now response from other devices (wall switch, wall Thermostat) will be skipped properly
default port changed in config file to 62910 due to change since firmware version 0109
added comment in script file for solution for out of array error found by Fischi

Hoping it would solve my never working setup with the MAx cube, I have updated to the latest l version but still only one thermostat gets recognized and everything errors out.

Setup with 4 thermostats in 3 rooms and 2 wall thermostats. All updated to the latest versions and running fine with the MAX software.
Still gettings out of bounds, only one thermostat in the device list (with the cube)
Attached the log after running the event.

Any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks,

Hi all,

It seems the MAX! Radiator Thermostats are sending the actual temperature! I noticed in the MAX!buddy applications this is now implemented and found the protocol information in FHEM. I'm preparing a new version of the script, will take some time, but I wanted to inform you already about this good News.

[Bastiaan]

Bernard, good News! For sure the wall thermostats show the current temp, good to hear it can be pulled from the others as well. Now I just need to find a way to get the script working.
Don't understand why it is out of bounds for me....

I just found this topic, after finding the MAX devices on the internet. But i would like to know what thermostat i need to use.

I think this is the one http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/616100/

[Bastiaan]

http://www.elv.de/max-wandthermostat-wt.html seems a logical choice

[raymonvdm]

I mean which thermostat on the radiator.

When i look at http://www.elv.de/max-funk-heizungsregler-system.html there is one thermostat for on the radiator. But it seems to be the no wireless version when i look at the following links

From Conrad it's this serie: http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/overview/081 ... ermostaten.
I'm only using the Radiator Thermostats: http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/5608 ... 3&ref=list

(and one MAX!Cube: http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/5608 ... 3&ref=list)

HI All,

As announced in my last post, I have now released this new version, see start post.

The main new functionality is:
Display the actual room temperature via the radiator Thermostat
Possibility to manual override setpoint via listbox for each radiator Thermostat.

All new / modified functionality is mentioned in the start post and in the readme file in .zip file. The readme file contains also some upgrade instructions.

Independed temperature control, working Homeseer configuration and quite decently priced. ideal setup!

Hi All,

Thanks to this thread I now have my Max! system up and running with homeseer.

So far I have 4 homeseer devices per max! device (wall thermostats and radiator valves)

1) The mode (auto/boost etc)
2) Actual temperature (wall thermostats only)
3) Current temperature setpoint
4) status - mainly for monitoring batteries.

Have made a few events:

1) detects if the boost button has been pressed on any wall thermostats and starts the boiler for 1 hour
2) events to kick off boost mode in any room and groups of rooms (use with HS touch - have an LG Vu built into hall wall!)
3) Can monitor realtime temperature in each room.

I had to rewrite large parts of the script to get what I wanted and to get the wall thermostats working. I have 11 rooms, 23 devices.

for anyone having issues - I had to read in the stream twice - reply = hs.readstream and then reply=reply+hs.readstream then I got the full response!!

Next job is to get the eco switch working.

Also, does anyone know how to change the timezone as it assumes CET and I am in Ireland.

All in all a good result and I am very happy.

If anyone needs any info let me know.

W.

Could you please post your modified script?

I am still struggling to get more than one or two devices in. Will reset my whole system again but would like to try it with your changes.

Thanks,

Bastiaan

Hi,

Script attached. note I do not have any window sensors so not sure how it will react to them.

your ini file needs to have more "entries" than the number of devices you have.

Sorry, the script is a bit of a mess as it is still a work in progress. will tidy it up once I have decided exactly which values I need for later development.

Let me know if you have any issues,

Walter.

Hi,

Not sure if you got it yesterday or not - went to edit the post and it is now gone!!

Anyway I have tided it up a bit. Added a new device (99) for the status of the connection to the max! - found that it had crashed the other day. I use the status to switch off the power to the Max!, wait 30 seconds and switch it back on. thus rebooting it.

let me know how you get on and if you have any thoughts on how to improve it. Note I removed all the stuff around the timings as this did not interest me - I am not going to change my profile very often, can use the max software if I do - it is much easier to use than homeseer.
