ELV Max! Heating control system

[michass]

Hi,
I have MAX! system and Synology based Domoticz.
Please help me with configure this in Synology enviroment.
Thanks in advance

What am I doing wrong??
my script looks like this:

The whole domoticz system operates in container station on qnap.

Please help.

That the script gives an error the first time it is launched is normal, it needs to create the new (virtual) hardware on the first run. During the second run, it should automatically create the devices, but I have noticed it doesn't do this anymore. The JSON commands that the script uses for this are no longer functioning as they did before, many (beta) versions back. They still update existing devices, but they don't create new ones anymore if the given device doesn't exist yet. I have posted a question about this on the forum quite some time ago, but received no reaction from the Domoticz authors yet.
I am currently thinking about a solution for this. My ultimate wish is to make a Python plugin, but this requires me to learn Python and dive into the plugin architecture. That takes time that I currently don't have. Alternatively, you can follow the process as described on the Wiki (https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/EQ3_MAX!). This requires you to create the devices yourself, but once you have done that everything should work smoothly.

[sakekl]

Thank you for your answer. I created new devices manually and used the script_time_max.lua script described on the wiki. Only door sensors do not work for me. Is it possible for the door sensors to show their status?

Can you try the script below? I haven't tested it myself, but it should work in theory. It requires you to create virtual on/off switches with the same name as defined for the window/door switches in the e-Q3/ELV MAX configuration software.

I also came up with such a way to read window sensors, only that it works only with the head turned on, so it would have to work all year long.

Everything works now. I am very happy. I will try to add an additional switch - "auto manual eco boost".

Thank you very much for your help, which is invaluable.

I will add that running the script from the console causes an error, but everything works so it probably is not important.

You're welcome!

Please share how you add the auto/manual/eco/boost button, so others can be inspired by it.

By the way, it is perfectly normal that LUA scripts give errors when run from the command line, because they are not able to communicate with Domoticz using commands like 'otherdevices[..]', 'commandArray[..]' etc. in this situation.

[sakekl]

If only I can implement such a button, I will certainly share my knowledge. However, I do not have much experience with domotic, so I may not succeed.

Dear all,
After a few successful years my system (R Pi + eMAX! + Lua script) stopped to response. Lua script (with crontab) - fine, eMAX! devices are OK as well so... the only reason might be new router (!!)
Some minuter later it was obvious that new device is NOT able to set "static IP" and from time to time IP of eMAX! Cube was changing (why new devices are lacking such an important setting??)

As stated in Lua sript it should be possible to use IP or NAME of Cube device:
-- Enter your cube name or ip address and port here
--MaxIP='192.168.x.x'
MaxIP='LEQ1234567'
MaxPort=62910
/source - wiki - EQ3 MAX/

For some reason in my case IP is working fine while NAME is not working at all.
Script test results: Socket connect failed for 'LEQ1234567"

I would appreciate advice / help - checking each time for IP and paste it to max script is possible BUT very annoying - especially winter time while heating is ON.....

Strange, for me it works fine with the name instead of the ip address!
What you could try is the following code instead of MaxIP='LEQ1234567':

Code: Select all

 MaxIP = Socket.dns.toip('LEQ1234567')

If this also fails, you can type "arp" <enter> from the command line on your pi, to check under which exact name your Cube is known to the system.

P.S. I'm not exactly sure, but I believe you can configure the Cube (using the provided software) to get an automatic IP adress or not. If you enter the fixed address here that you have in your script, it will probably also work.

Hi Guys
I have the same problem as michass I would like to use Max Heating with Domoticz (but it is runing the Jahdal 6.2 on synology )
So no Lua available
Can you help

Hi Guys
I have the same problem as michass I would like to use Max Heating with Domoticz (but it is runing the Jahdal 6.2 on synology )
So no Lua available
Can you help

I have no experience with Domoticz on a Synology, is there no Lua package available for this system?
I assume it does run time- and event-based Lua scripts inside Domoticz? In that case, you can skip the test script part in the Wiki and set up the time-based Lua script as described there (after manually creating the devices). Use the version shown a few posts back if you also need support for door/window switches (I'll see if I can update the Wiki soon).

[nono212]

In fact I have a Domoticz on Pi ( an old one )
and I have my current Domoticz on Synology Is there a way to export the eq3 data to put it in the new Domoticz ?
Because I had a running eq-3 solution on the Pi but I migrate almost everything on the synology .
Can you help mvzut ?

Regards

and for info I type LUA on syno and nothing hapend:

-sh: lua: command not found

[sakekl]

I have domoticz installed on the qnap server and I also had a problem with the lua on the dedicated application. I solved this by installing the ubuntu xenial system in the docker.
Docker from ubuntu has its own IP address and logs in to it using the console. Then it's just like in a normal Linux.

Hi all,

Finally I had some time to dive into the new Python plugin system. It was a steep learning curve, since I had no prior Python experience, but I think I succeeded, mostly... So here is my ELV/eQ-3 MAX! Python plugin for Domoticz!

https://github.com/mvzut/maxcube-Domoticz-plugin

I made use of a very well written Cube API by "hackercowbow", so many of the credits go to him.
Please note that the plugin has only been tested on a Raspberry Pi with the latest Beta (although it will probably work on the latest stable as well). You can install it by typing in a terminal:

Code: Select all

cd ~/domoticz/plugins
git clone https://github.com/mvzut/maxcube-Domoticz-plugin MaxCube

Then restart Domoticz, and find the newly added plugin under Setup > Hardware.
Activate the plugin by selecting it from the "Type" drop-down menu, fill in the parameters (on-screen explanation is given) and click "Add".
If all goes as intended, it should automatically create all MAX devices for you (using the names it receives from the Cube), update all devices with the given interval, and change thermostat setpoints on your Cube if you change them in Domoticz. Note that you can safely rename devices to anything you want, unlike previous solutions this plugin doesn't need specific names to function.

Who is willing to test it? I'm sure there are still bugs in it that I didn't encounter yet. For testing purposes, you can safely run it next to your existing MAX integration method. If at least a couple of people get it to work without problems, I'll probably create a dedicated topic on this plugin.

Hoping for your feedback!

I can not make it today, but I will start testing tomorrow. Nice job and respect for you.
