That's not exactly what I was looking for. I'd like to continue relying on the cube and being able to switch one/all thermostats to auto in one click. So, again, has the code to do that particular request to the cube been developed ? and if so, how can I trigger it ?

thanks

I'd like to be able to set a Thermostat to auto from domoticz. Is that possible ? If so, how ?

Thanks

Hi,

Instead of using netcat, you could use the MaxCmdSend function of the lua time script

You probably should add some print() inside the script to understand what is going on.
Apparently, the num_rooms variable set 3 lines earlier does not get a proper value.

If you rely on the temperature information that you can retrieve from the radiator thermostat, as I said, it is very unreliable and you could get the temperature from maybe 2 hours ago. If you use the wall thermostat then you can poll the temperature every time you want (I personnaly check every 5 ...

It is very reliable. If you buy only a cube a radiator thermostats, you will only be able to see the target temperature. The radiator thermostats provide the current temperature in a rather unreliable way (only when the valve % has been updated, so the information is not really fresh). This design ...

Have you figured a way to do it ?

So after connecting to the cube using the Max Windows client, it turned out that the Max had its configuration reset. I've re-added the devices/rooms and now it works again.

Hi, This morning I noticed (because my house was very cold) that the max cube is not getting any updates from the wall thermostats and rads. The lua scripts is able to poll data from the Max cube but these data do not correspond to the actual temperature, valve %, etc. Using the official Max app, I ...

Thanks for your feedback. I have started controlling my boiler 2 months ago with the code posted in previous posts of this thread. I can't say that I am saving on gas as it is very difficult to compare over such a short period of time. However, I have gained in comfort. Before, I had sensor that was ...

I would like to be able to change the target temperature (and also switch from/to manual/auto). Is there some lua code/library that already takes care of that so it could be easily integrated in domoticz ?

The wall thermostat is unchanged. It's only the valve's setpoint that is set -2 lower, and only when the room is up to temperature. When the room is heating, valve = setpoint. Like you, I noticed that the VALVE temperature has to be more than 2 degrees higher than its setpoint for the valve to be ...

Thanks for the reply. One more question: if I put an offset of e.g., -2 does that mean that the wall thermostat will show 19 when it is actually 21 (which I would not like) or does that mean that it will consider the target reached 2 degrees lower (i.e., when the current is 17, the rad will consider ...

So, I've managed to work around the issue with 2 rads in 1 room with some changes in the lua script. Everything is working fine. Though, I am (and had that issue even before getting started with domoticz) still observing that valves remain quite too open when the target temperature has been reached ...

OK, so I figured that the script must be named script_time_Valves.lua (instead of script_time-Valves.lua as mentioned on the wiki) to be launched. I am now having a problem for 1 particular room where I have 2 rads and 1 wall thermostat. As 2 rads can't have the same name, I was advised to name them ...

My understanding was that I need to run the script_time_max.lua (from domoticz) AND run the script that detects the devices using crontab. Is that right ? I just remove the script_time_max.lua script and let the other run from crontab... and that seems to be good enough. What I don't get now is how ...

Thanks. This isn't the first time you mention that I am using an old script but basically I just took what was available in the Wiki (here: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/EQ3_MAX!). That script has been there for probably a while as the last modification of the wiki is Nov 9. Is the "new" script to ...

Hi, Following your pieces of advice (thanks a lot BTW), I have finally managed to get the temperature working as expected. I'm only having this error message (even though everything seems to be working fine) each time the lua script runs: 2016-11-29 23:15:00.704 Error: EventSystem: in /home/pi ...

So, I have deleted everything and ran your script to create the devices and then hit the green arrow as you described. Just to be clear, I must have the script_time_max.lua script in domoticz/scripts/lua so it gets run every 5 minutes, right ? Also, I need to have the your sync script ran every 5 ...

Your sync lua script is working now. So now, from domoticz, I am getting the following error: 2016-11-26 22:02:00.927 Error: EventSystem: in /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_time_max.lua: /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_time_max.lua:136: attempt to concatenate field '?'
