MAX! and Internet Access

---

Hello everybody,

I use pimatic together with max cube. if pimatic connected to max cube, then max cube has not a connection to max! internet portal or to max! local software. How do you solve this problem? Especially the max internet portal ist an easier way for a remote accees to my cube. Then I would not like do without.

PS. Fhem solves the problem by taking a timeout…

Hallo Uli,
Ich hatte auch gewisse Startprobleme mit dem Cube.
Mir hat dort einfach warten geholfen.
Also ersten, wenn du den Cube in Pimatic nutzen willst geht das Internetportal und auch die Software nicht.
Der Cube akzeptiert nur eine Verbindung, diese nutzt dann Pimatic.

Also, wenn du alles wie im Plugin beschrieben konfiguriest, dann geht es nach einigen Neustarts.
(Ich hatte alles konfiguriert, bin auch fast verzweifelt - hab es dann einfach mal 3-5 Tage liegen lassen - dann lief es nach einem Neustart plötzlich)
Was gegeben sein muss ist, dass deine Cube wirklich unter der eingerichteten Adresse im Netzwerk zu finden ist.

• ah die Software geht auch nicht?
• Woher hast du den Cube? (Also Mobilcom Debitel, eQ3, Max! - was steht auf dem Karton?)

Hello Uli,
i had some starting problems too.
I just waited some time.
The first thing is. The Cube just accept one connection. So the internetportal and the software doesn’t work if you use it with pimatic.

So when you configure everything like it’s discribed in the plugin section, then it should work after some restarts.
(i had also everything configured, waited some days, because i desperately - then suddenly after anothe reboot it worked)

What needed to be given is that the cube is reacheable in your network.

• ah the software also doesn’t work?
• where did you get the cube from?

Ich hab genau das gleich Problem mit nur einer Verbindung… Das ist leider total nervig

Portal MAX I have never seen I just read that it is sh * t.
Max! Local software I used only the beginning. Set the basic parameters. Everything else then I drive over Pimatic (rules).

the max cube only allows one connection.
therefore this is no bug. so either work with the max portal or pimatic.
there is no other solution when using max-plugin and the cube actually.
you can try to make pimatic accessible over the internet.

there have been efforts to control max! devices without cube but i cannot tell anything about that since i am not familiar with these projects.

the idea with a delay / timeout like fhem does for listening to other connections would be an option that our devs could check if they have some spare time.

I propose following workaround:

receiving data continuously from MAX with plugin maxcul via radio 868 Mhz
sending data to MAX via LAN if necessary. This makes the cube has time for other connections as like internet portal

How could I implement it ?

If it possible the plugin pimatic-max set OFF and ON temporarily while the programm pimatic is runnig ?

No at the moment. This needs a relatively complicated logic. Why cant you use the Max system only with pimatic? I have a max cube and many thermostats. And i miss nothing! I can access pimatic over the internet and can control my heating. So why you need such a special task?
