Homeseer Script to monitor & Control ELV MAX! Thermostats

[Bastiaan]

As far as I know is the current room temperature not available in the radiator valve values. (Strange I agree).
Not sure if it is in the wall thermostat but that item is still not available.

Thanks for your reply, Bastiaan,
What's about the On-Line.gif folder ???

Hi Fischi,

Good to see the script works for you! About the actual temp: it's very stupid, but it seems the MAX system is not able to present the actual (measured) temperature in the room. If you look on the ELV forum, this issue (IST Temperature) is discussed in many threats, but no solution (yet)....

Thank you very much, Bernard,
Please tell me about the On-Line gif folder !!!

Hi all,

I have installed the new firmware (see domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?t=7334&a ... 021#p55021) and have experienced no problems so far with the script.

Actually the system date and time is now green, so its even better for me.

Hi, Bernard
I have also installed the firmware 1.3.4 without issues.
The Homeseer thermostat control also works fine with my philips pronto TSU9600 to control 9 thermostats.
I have still a little problem :
The Pronto cannot show The Temperature.gif ("<img src='/images/Temperatures ") , only " Mode/Setpnt/Valve%/EndDateTime" because the string is to long.
Can you change the max_monitor_script for me , so Homeseer (and also the Pronto that shows the string from Homeseer) only shows :

Mode/Setpnt/Valve% ( without EndDateTime and without the Temperature image) ?????



The message box on the Philips Pronto isn't long enough to show your complete DeviceString, and I only need "Mode/Setpnt(Valve%" on Homeseer.

I hope you can help me

Thanks and Best regards from Germany

Hi, Bernard
I found a solution for the problem by myself.

Thanks

Bernard,

I got a strange there here, on the Max it says "kleding kamer" which was missing its link, but on homeseer it said that "baby kamer" was non functnional. So for some reason it has swapped those 2 rooms in homeseer. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Hi, Bernard,
I have installed 7 MAX thermostats now.
There is a big problem : not ever but often in the HS log there comes a message : "Array index out of range".
What is the reason for this ???

How many thermostats may I install ?

Best regards, Fischi

Hi,
I have running the homeseer MAX! script with 9 thermostats, and all works fine for me.
Today I've tried to install a window contact, but ist doesn't work with homeseer.
There is always a message in the log :

Max_debug C10: unknown device: 04
Bernard, do you use the windows contacts from ELV??
Could you change the script to work with homeseer ??

Thanks and have a nice weekend

Fischi,

I have 8 thermostats myself, so 7 should not be a problem (giving array index out of range). Do you still see that message?
I'm not using other devices than the thermostats (and the Cube off course). If the script finds another device ID, it gives this debug message. I can try to implement other devices (like windows contacts and eco-switch), but I will need information like protocol analyser output from wireshark when operating these devices and direct after initial start of web-application (which will give all info from your setup). And no guarantee this is going to work...

Snelvuur,

The script is putting the names in homeseer only with the first run when it creates the devices. Currently It doesn't update the names afterwards. A work-around is to delete all devices in homeseer and to run the script again. It will create all devices with the current names.

Hi, Bernard,
when I have installed and activated the MAX! door/windows sensor, there comes the message "Array index out of range" after running script and the MAX! cube is not to see in Homeseer anymore
(no serial number, ..., of the cube)
After the MAX! door/windows sensor is deinstalled and deactivated, the system runs perfect and I ca see the informations of the MAX!cube .
Is it possible that Homeseer ignores the MAX! door/windows sensor, this sensor works in stand alone mode without the help of Homeseer ??

I have another question: In our house there are mor than 9 thermostats. Is it also possible tu integrate mor than 9 ??

Best regards, Fischi
