MAX! -Home automation, integrated with phones detection fun

[jesperlykke]

Hi here everyone

I am really satisfied with my home made MAX-control system, so i think i would share it here.
We live four here in our house, and there are 4 room's with each own radiator (Livingroom, Bedroom, Childroom1, Childroom2)
The hardware is an Raspberry Pi, with some other automation task, MAX : 4 valves, 1 cube, 1 wall switch etc...

Well. My setup is working as follows : (I have pasted part of Bash script's for better explanation)

The first thing, the system is checking, is if it's winter, then system is checking if it's weekend or weekday
-I don't want any unnessesary valve regulation at night or weekends

Code: Select all

# 1. Be sure AUTO is on, when it is weekend
# 2. Exit script, if it is Weekend
if [ $SCRIPTDAY = "WEEKEND" ]; then
  if [ $AUTO -eq 0 ]; then
  echo $AUTO_LIVING | netcat -C 192.168.1.127 62910
  sleep $D
  echo $AUTO_BEDROOM | netcat -C 192.168.1.127 62910
  sleep $D
  echo $AUTO_FREDE | netcat -C 192.168.1.127 62910
  sleep $D
  echo $AUTO_JOSSE | netcat -C 192.168.1.127 62910
  sleep $D
  curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$DOMOTICZ:$PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$TH2&switchcmd=Off"
  curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$DOMOTICZ:$PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$TH3&switchcmd=Off"
  curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$DOMOTICZ:$PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$TH4&switchcmd=Off"
  curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$DOMOTICZ:$PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$TH5&switchcmd=Off"
  echo 1 > $AUTO_ON
  echo 1 > $AUTO1_ON

Normally the MAX weekly program sets the temperatures to 17 degrees, between 0900 -> 1430 each weekday
So... if it's e.g are weekday, and let's say all the valves are set to Auto (From the Max weekly program).
Then if my wife (Or myself), has an early day, or maybee a day off, the system is detecting her phone, and regulation is set to MANUEL, e.g 21 degrees. (Livingroom and bedroom)

The same thing happend if one of the kid's are entering the house. Then Livingroom and e.g Childsroom1 heats up

There are some "cooloff/delays" routines, so that small gclithes, or maybee a 1-2 minute phone dropout dosent interfear the system. -Eventually the detection if a phone is leaving house is delayed with approx. 12 minutes...

Code: Select all

if [ $MAN -eq 0 ]; then
  if [ $PHONE1 -eq 1 ] || [ $PHONE2 -eq 1 ] || [ $PHONE3 -eq 1 ] || [ $PHONE4 -eq 1 ]; then
  let COUNTER=$COUNTER+1
  echo $COUNTER > $COUNTER_0
  fi
  if [ $COUNTER -eq $ONDELAY1 ]; then
  echo $MAN_LIVING_20 | netcat -C 192.168.1.127 62910
  sleep $D
  curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$DOMOTICZ:$PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$TH4&switchcmd=On"
  echo 0 > $AUTO_ON
  echo 1 > $MAN_ON
  echo 0 > $COUNTER_0
  fi
fi

# Bedroom AUTO / MAN  (TH5)
if [ $MAN3 -eq 0 ]; then
  if [ $PHONE1 -eq 1 ] || [ $PHONE4 -eq 1 ]; then
  let COUNTER3=$COUNTER3+1
  echo $COUNTER3 > $COUNTER_3
  fi
  if [ $COUNTER3 -eq $ONDELAY1 ]; then
  echo $MAN_BEDROOM_20 | netcat -C 192.168.1.127 62910
  sleep $D

All the regulation, is variabled-lised inside scripts, for easier use.
Here you can see, what i use right now:

Code: Select all

# codes for setting the MAX
MAN_LIVING_OFF=s:AARAAAAAEUdJBEk=
MAN_LIVING_18=s:AARAAAAAEUdJBGQ=        # Man stue (18 C.)
MAN_LIVING_17=s:AARAAAAAEUdJBGI=        # Man stue (17 C.)
MAN_LIVING_20=s:AARAAAAAEUdJBGk=        # Man stue (20.5 C.)
AUTO_LIVING=s:AARAAAAAEUdJBAA=          # Auto stue

MAN_BEDROOM_OFF=s:AARAAAAAEUh2AUk=
MAN_BEDROOM_10=s:AARAAAAAEUh2AVQ=       # Man soveværelse (10 C.)
MAN_BEDROOM_17=s:AARAAAAAEUh2AWI=       # Man soveværelse (17 C.)
MAN_BEDROOM_20=s:AARAAAAAEUh2AWg=
MAN_BEDROOM_21=s:AARAAAAAEUh2AWo=       # Man soveværelse (21 C.)
AUTO_BEDROOM=s:AARAAAAAEUh2AQA=         # Auto soveværelse

MAN_FREDE_OFF=s:AARAAAAAEUgCA0k=
MAN_FREDE_17=s:AARAAAAAEUgCA2I=         # Man Frederiks værelse (17 C.)
MAN_FREDE_21=s:AARAAAAAEUgCA2o=         # Man Frederiks værelse (21 C.)
AUTO_FREDE=s:AARAAAAAEUgCAwA=           # Auto Frederiks værelse

MAN_JOSSE_OFF=s:AARAAAAAEUfqAkk=
MAN_JOSSE_17=s:AARAAAAAEUfqAmI=         # Man Josefines værelse (17 C.)
MAN_JOSSE_21=s:AARAAAAAEUfqAmo=         # Man Josefines værelse (21 C.)
AUTO_JOSSE=s:AARAAAAAEUfqAgA=           # Auto Josefines værelse

It's really amazing what can be done, with the Domoticz system, and some Scripting

The phone detection script, was something which took me months to write. I did find it very hard to not having fallout's on the phones, until i found a script, which someone wrote. -I then took part of this excellent script and used in my own. (Sry. can't remember where i found it)

The brilliant part, is where the script is asking my router, which Phone MAC adresses is present, and then execute further on from there:

Code: Select all

macdevice3="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"    #Josefine's Iphone 6
macdevice4="xx:14:xx:xx:xx:xx"    #Jesper's Iphone 6

#macdevice4="xx:xx:xx:5D:xx:xx"    #Jesper fake OFF!

maclist=$(sshpass -p xxxxxx ssh [email protected] arp | cut -d" " -f4)

# Reset current status. Two variables are used for each device.
# The past known status and the current status. Only a change is reported
maccurrent1=0;
maccurrent2=0;
maccurrent3=0;
maccurrent4=0;

for mac in $maclist; do
case $mac in
   "$macdevice1") maccurrent1=1;;
   "$macdevice2") maccurrent2=1;;
   "$macdevice3") maccurrent3=1;;
   "$macdevice4") maccurrent4=1;;
esac
done

if [ $maccurrent1 -eq 1 ]; then
echo 1 > $PHONE1
echo 0 > $COOLOFF1

Maybee next year (winter) i completly remove the MAX weekly program, and let phones control everything? - Maybee, maybee not

Hope some here get inspiration ? - I surely have a lot of fun with it

Hi Jesper, this sounds extremelly interresting to me. Do you have any blog with all details how it is working and how to do that as you describe here? I'm also fan of MAX! system and even Domoticz, I would love to connect them together. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us
