MAX! Window Sensor #10

Open Tzaphkiel opened 3 years ago

Tzaphkiel commented 3 years ago

Hello,

stumbled upon your repository whilst searching how to dump and set full MAX Cube config. This cmd line interface is SOOO much better than their interface to setup a whole installation. Much faster. I'm using now HA to control the installation but once in a while it causes the Cube to loose or corrupt the complete config.

So to cut short, I have :

as well as what you cover already:

Like I said, I have to window sensors and wish to help. I'm a developer but I do not know PERL per say...

How can I help integrate these window sensors and resolve the Wall thermorstat ERRORstatus ?

pi@raspberrypi:~$ max status
* Salon-Sam(1)
    Thermostat mur Salon(123123) manual@5.0 (current 20.4) ERROR
    Radiateur CUISINE(123123)    manual@5.0 (valve at 0%)
    Radiateur SALON(123123)      manual@5.0 (valve at 0%)
    Radiateur SAM(123123)        manual@5.0 (valve at 0%)
* SDB(2)
    Radiateur SDB(123123)        auto@15.0 (valve at 0%)
* Chambre a coucher(3)
    Radiateur CHAMBRE(123123)    auto@5.0 (valve at 0%)

Side question: do you think it would be possible to dump and restore the config ? Looking at the status printout and the sequence of steps, appart from the 'discovery/pairing', it should be possible to send the sequence of operations to setup/restore a whole installation, no ?

Thanks for your message! Unfortunately I currently don't have the spoons to work on this project.

I'm using now HA to control the installation but once in a while it causes the Cube to loose or corrupt the complete config.

The cube does that all by itself. I've had it lose its config during a month where I didn't even use any software, and one time, it's lost the config a few seconds after succesfully spewing out its normal status.

The wall thermostat is in status ERROR for some reason.

That's a thing that happens. The error flag as reported by the cube sometimes just stays there forever until the cube reboots, or if you're unlucky, until you've removed and re-added the device.

Side question: do you think it would be possible to dump and restore the config ?

At least partly (names etc), that should be possible. However, I don't know of any non-interactive way to pair a device, so you'd still have to walk around and press those buttons
