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.

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.
