@sbe said in Which wireless thermostat is recommended. AVM Comet, Homematic, others???:
I’m also looking for possibilities to control 2 thermostats. MAX seems to be a preferred solution with pimatic, but if I read the reviews on Amazon, a lot of problems occur with the current software on this device (forgets connected controllers, e.g.)
Do you see those problems with pimatic as well?
Are there any other possibilities?
I’m using 6 MAX! thermostats over max!-cube with pimatic since over a year now without bigger problems.
Most problems I have is, log entrys with 1…3 disconnects over the week, but auto reconnect w/o problems later.
Max! Thermostats itself are quite cheap and sometimes a bit loud when moving to reference position for example. I have 2 Plus thermostats whitch are a bit better, have better display with more info, but work all the same.
Shure the original MAX! software for PC is rather bad, but can not say it’s unusable. You can still use Auto mode (even when connected to pimatic) and let the schedule from Max! software control the temp and time settings over the week. These informations are stored inside the devices, same with connections between wall thermostat/display and window cotacts. Inside pimatic you can switch over to manual mode an let the rules do your own stuff at any time.
The only thing is: you can’t use both software at the same time! For the moment you like to change the settings /schedule inside MAX! devices you have to stop pimatic connection to the cube.
I also wish to test with a CUL instead of the cube, but have to use a own scheduler then and need time to do so.
