The question is:
why do you want to control the temperature by pimatic,
when you already set the mode to auto?
Where the cube controls the Temperature.
i have all thermostats in manual mode and it’s working.

sure chris, that’s a good question. i am still having a static heating program in the cube and manually override it by pimatic if needed.
well even as this is no major bug the error occurs and we should have a closer look since this is annoying and may confuse users.

But, when automode is on.
Then the cube is checking the setpoint regularly.
And set it back to the scheduled setpoint?
Or isn’t he?!

edit:
i mean - even if you change the tempsetpoint - the cube reset it to his value.
very interesting - I can confirm that when I change the temperature to 8°C instead of 5°C it seems to work. can I also set the thermostat to manual via a rule? I think I could then simply switch back to “auto” to regain the original temperature (currently I’m storing it in a variable when the window is opened and write it back afterwards).
EDIT: Figured it out myself and IT WORKS!
{
"id": "luften-beginn",
"name": "Lüften Beginn (Wohnzimmer)",
"rule": "when terasse-wohnzimmer is opened then set mode of Wohnzimmer (Schreibtisch) to \"manu\" and set temp of Wohnzimmer (Schreibtisch) to 5°C and send pushbullet title:\"Terrassentür offen\"",
"active": true,
"logging": true
},
{
"id": "luften-ende",
"name": "Lüften Ende (Wohnzimmer)",
"rule": "when terasse-wohnzimmer is closed then set mode of Wohnzimmer (Sofa) to \"auto\" and send pushbullet title:\"Terrassentür geschlossen\"",
"active": true,
"logging": true
}
yes that’s it. the cube will then override pimatic again.
for me it is actually like doing nothing at all to the heating. the cube has its weekly standard program and if i need to interact i can do so from pimatic.
i miss some easy to use schedule in pimatic. the mythermostat plugin seems to be quite nice but never tried it myself. @DDNRN did you already?

@GuybrushMR80 yes you can but dont nail me down to the correct rule layout.
should be something like WHEN blabla THEN set $max-thermostat.mode = "manual"

@leader21 thanks but I already figured it out, see above…
Hi there. Fyi, the “Invalid hex string” error for setpoint temperatures lower than or equal to 7.5 degrees has been fixed in the underlying max-control library. However, an update of pimatic-max isn’t availabe yet. If you wish to trial the fix though, the following should work:
cd /home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-max
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm
sudo service pimatic restart

Thanks but I think I’m fine now - in manual mode I can lower the temperature down to 5°C which should be pretty much equal to “OFF”. BTW: Is there a command to put it to OFF that can be used in a rule? I tried 0°C but this didn’t work.
And: Does anyone know how the original MAX! window sensors logic works? Do they turn the thermostat off completely or just lower the temperature by X°C? I’d like to mirror that logic with pimatic if possible.
thanks for your fast support
the thermostat shows “OFF” by set point 4.5 degrees. maybe its possible to implement this value as off in the gui and rule System…
I have the original window sensors. When you open the window, the system sets the temperature at 12°C.
I’m a little angry that this has no delay. In the kitchen, open the door often just for bringing things from the terrace.

@wutu Is it always 12°C? I I were you I would consider investing 5€ into these sensors and set it up with pimatic like I did. This way you can easily configure a delay.
So the setpoint for open window you have to set in the cube.
But when you open the window(so the contact) and you will edit the Temperatur or something else.
You get a reject-error by the cube.
I have solved this problem by editing a new room in the cube and inserted the contact-sensor there.
So I can (or Pimatic) controll the Temperatur.

Sounds reasonable to me, but I am not familiar with details of the plugin and the implications such a change might have.

Hello everybody,
can any one tell me whether it is possible to measure the current temperature from the thermostat. It is after all transmitted with but will not be saved.
actualTemperature: 19.5 },
Hallo Zusammen,
kann mir einer sagen ob es möglich ist die aktuelle Temperatur gemessen am Thermostat abzugreifen? Die Temperatur wird ja mit übertragen, jedoch in keiner Variable gespeichert.

use the wallthermostat device with the rf adress from the heating thermostat device.

AH okay Thanks a lot!!!
This plugin is really good it helps a lot!!!
yes indeed! a very nice plugin.
regarding the temp. coming from the thermostats you should check with another room thermostat if this fits.
i am using the max wall thermostats and they work great.
