I have a ten Max device system.
Finally had enough of MAXLAN's issues.
Please recommend the best replacement for my MAXLAN.
Currently have fhem on raspberry pi.

I could in the future move to fhem on a PC system.

Are you using the MAX Lan Adapter or Cube? Not that it makes much difference perhaps. Edit: Brain not working, I was confusing with HM :\

I have been running a Cube here for 15 months with only one major problem, this week, it forgot all my devices!
I believe others here have had issues with the Cube though.

I am wondering whether to get a CUL as backup

Hi Fruit,

Exactly the problem I have had! Lost all the setup. >:(

Are you just using fhem to monitor?

After fuguring out the right place, my 868MHz Cul is running fine with Max!

i dont think that your pc has an gpio header   ;) so you should use an usb-device like CUL / nanoCUL / ohter self-made CUL (http://www.fhemwiki.de/wiki/Selbstbau_CUL).
with a pi module you're not flexible (example: evtl problems with banana pi gpio, not for cubietruck, not for the most pc-systems)

It has only happened to me once. I searched the forum, as much as I'm able, but didn't find any obvious common links to this 'til I got back to 2013

It was easy enough to get everything back - but all at default settings. Yesterday I knocked up a rough script to save all my valve settings ready for next time.

My boiler on/off is controlled using valveposition data from the CUbe, so no Cube, no heating :(


@chris1284 I looked at that link for DIY CUL yesterday, looks interesting and somthing I may try.

No problem to do this with fhem and Cul 868.

Example:

This might be important!

DIY CUL could be my next project then!

My control is somewhat similar to the first example though spread across a number of dummy thresholds and demand levels, both in 99_myUtils.pm and fhem.cfg.
My house is only small so I work only with total of valvepositions, no per-room priorities.

I have looked at the Temperatur-Scanner many times but what I have works OK, maybe sometime in the future I'll try it.
