ELV Max! Heating control system

l0gic · Post by **l0gic** » Friday 09 October 2015 22:22

Hi BD65,
this is my second heating season with the system.
So far, so good.
It works fine stand alone, but MaxBuddy adds the integration into Domoticz.
It's a shame that MaxBuddy has been abandoned but it does do a reasonable job.

For the price it fits the bill.

Hi there.

Since maxbuddy website is down i can't set it up on my raspberrypi. can anyone upload his running package with all files needed so i just have to create the autorun and maybe the chmods ??

would be very nice... thanks a lot

Once back to the Domoticz.js script for Max!Buddy software ...

i'm running all the things on my raspberry pi 2 and i got it working perfectly two days ago...
whatever happended i had to do a clean install with new sd-card image... set up domoticz, set up maxbuddy ... both working fine ...

but the Domoticz.js in maxbuddy doesn't anymore... it just print the following in maxbuddy log file:

two day ago it printed links with the code for domoticz... now there is nothing and no new devices in domoticz.
Yes the script is activated in maxbuddy... Yes the HID, IP and PORT in Domoticz.js are set correctly... and yes in domoticz new devices are accepted... domoticz is latest beta (with latest stable it does not start on port 80) and maxbuddy is 9.16.2 with 1.4.1 libraries...

can anyone help me with that issue?

Hi Skippiemanz,

yeah mine is running fine.

I have the core domoticz script to populate the domoticz items.
I also have a battery monitor that I run a couple of times a day to email me if an EQ-3 item has a failing battery.
Plus I also run a monitor to keep an eye on a dummy Domoticz switch for when my log burner is on. If it is I force all radiators to ON irrespective of the standard heating requirements.

All mine are running on Windows rather than a Pi.

All the best

Kevin

Hi guys,

I got my new equipment running. It appears that the manufacturers software will run either local or online... but not both. Is that correct or have I fluffed it at the 1st hurdle

I in the process of installing maxbuddy which has been a pain as I'm on a cubietruck so slightly different. I have apache 2.4 so different again

but getting there slowly.

I'm at the point of running maxbuddy headless but it doesn't create the hidden file .maxbuddy

so I'm stuck and don't know how to proceed from there

any ideas?

Sean

l0gic · Post by **l0gic** » Saturday 17 October 2015 23:03

Hi Sean,
not sure what you mean with local/online?
Are you talking about the Max! software?
This runs on a PC and throws up a web page to set up the cube. I guess there are other flavours too.
You should be able to set up an on line account and configure the cube locally.
Once you have set up the user/password on line and the cube has "rung home" you will be able to set the cube up either way.
On line changes take some time to propagate back to the cube I've noticed.

Once you have Max!Buddy installed you will need to shut down the Max! software (or vice versa) as only one connection is allowed to the cube at a time.

You're getting there

Kevin

blackdog65 · Post by **blackdog65** » Sunday 18 October 2015 11:37

Hi Kevin,

Yes I was referring to the Max! software, It seams that If I log into the web page on localhost I have issues with https://max.eq-3.de and vice versa... but

as only one connection is allowed to the cube at a time

makes perfect sense

should have seen it

Soooo... all instances of Max! software closed but the problem remains. If I run headless.sh no .maxbuddy is created. I'm rebooting my cubietruck and trying a few other options but no luck yet

Sean

blackdog65 · Post by **blackdog65** » Sunday 18 October 2015 12:30

AHHHHH!

found it!
.maxbuddy has been created in the "root" folder. This must be because I'm using a cubietrck and not a Pi.

So my options/questions are
a) Edit ext-libs where it is (as Root) and all will be well
b) Move .maxbuddy (and change ownership etc) to user home
c) Start again as root
D) Other

As you can see, I'm getting out of my depth rapidly now

blackdog65 · Post by **blackdog65** » Sunday 18 October 2015 13:22

Hmmmm... previous post somewhat moot as the ext-libs folder in root is empty.

Now I'm stuck

l0gic · Post by **l0gic** » Sunday 18 October 2015 22:30

Hi Sean,
Have you followed the instructions that come with the code?
It's a bit of a pain but it was I had to do to get it working.

If you don't have them I can post it up here.

Kevin

blackdog65 · Post by **blackdog65** » Sunday 18 October 2015 22:56

No mate,
I've been following Skippiemanz instructions in this thread.

I'd much appreciate it if you could post them.

Another thought is that I could go through the process on a spare raspi and have it as a slave to the cubietruck. Not the most elegant solution, but a solution... maybe

Skippiemanz · Post by **Skippiemanz** » Monday 19 October 2015 0:29

Going through the same struggle as you when trying to set it up on my synology nas. Unfortunately not an Linux expert

l0gic · Post by **l0gic** » Monday 19 October 2015 10:01

Sean,
just checked, my instructions are for Windows only.
I'll post them up as it may give you a lead.

Code: Select all


MAX! Buddy running with the new libraries yet, but the links have to download the latest libraries from the manufacturer eQ-3 and vonELV removed so that MAX! Buddy the required libraries currently can not download directly. Therefore, the error message

Errors on Startup: Failed to download required libraries.
However, it is possible to get MAX Buddy R9.16.2 and R9.17-beta2 to run:

1. Download the following files:

MaxEssentialsBackend-1.4.1.jar 
MaxLocalBackend-1.4.1.jar 
digest.txt

2. This must for Windows XP users to folder

C: \ Documents and Settings \ <username> \ Application Data \ MAXBuddy \ ext-libs \ u \ 57840205 \ Libs1-4-1 \
be copied.

For Windows 7 users please to folder:

C: \ Users \ <username> \ AppData \ Roaming \ MAXBuddy \ ext-libs \ u \ 57840205 \ Libs1-4-1 \
copy.

WIndows 8 users copy the files into the directory:

C: \ Users \ <username> \ AppData \ Roaming \ MAXBuddy \ ext-libs \ u \ 57840205 \ Libs1-4-1 \


3. The modified file left-916.xml

need for Windows XP users to folder

C: \ Documents and Settings \ <username> \ Application Data \ MAXBuddy \ ext-libs \

and for Windows 7 users to folder

C: \ Users \ <username> \ AppData \ Roaming \ MAXBuddy \ ext-libs \

All use the Windows 8, please to folder:

C: \ Users \ <username> \ AppData \ Roaming \ MAXBuddy \ ext-libs
copy.

Then, very important to enable the write protection on the file, otherwise the file will be overwritten.

4. MAX! Start Buddy R9.16.2 as usual.

5. Do you use MAX! Buddy R9.17 beta2 need your modified file left-914.xml use. The 1st to 4th steps remain the same.

All MAX! Buddy versions you can find here and here .

Should you have problems just report briefly here in the forum.

Greeting

Matze

Hope that helps

Kevin

nice to hear^^

have testet two other home automations on my pi supportin MAX by default. But both are very hard to configure... AND they don't know what the RFLink Gateway is

Mine is arrived few days ago.

in both (openhab and fhem) the MaxCube and other Max Devices are accessed directly (over Cube). Have here the scripts and programs for that... see attachement. maybe there is anyone out who understand whats in the files... I only see ???????

i hope there will be an update soon with controlling MAX...

two day ago it printed links with the code for domoticz... now there is nothing and no new devices in domoticz.
Yes the script is activated in maxbuddy... Yes the HID, IP and PORT in Domoticz.js are set correctly... and yes in domoticz new devices are accepted... domoticz is latest beta (with latest stable it does not start on port 80) and maxbuddy is 9.16.2 with 1.4.1 libraries...

can anyone help me with that issue?

hey guys... any ideas? maybe a library for json or java is missing on pi?? if yes... wich library? pls help.
