Combine Max! schedule with external contact sensors

What about the device variables (comfy, vac, eco)? Could you make them accessible via action?
Sorry, I can’t do that as I don’t have a device to test with at the moment. Feel free to submit a PR on the matter.

I don’t understand. The Max! window contacts are detected by the cube and the temperature is automatically reduced to a preset value when the window is open. If other contacts are used, it is not possible to use the cube but must be done with a rule via Pimatic.
Yes, and thats the case. The Max! contacts are hugh and ugly. I use Kerui D026.
I have a rule and set the cube to manu mode and 5° when the window is opened. But after x minutes the “update rule” destroys the setting.
I think I need to tune the update rule to store and restore all available variables.
@mwittig You are right.
The MAX plus has a programming interface via the control panel, but I think that with a central management this doesn’t play a big role. A normal childlock is also available with the normal thermostat. The plus has a “extended” childlock.
I haven’t made a more detailed analysis about the connection issue. I think it’s on the cube side.
@SaxnPaule
my suggestion for the cul firmware was primarily for the possibility to send a fake window open message to a thermostat.
i use also gs-iwds07 contact sensors
After three weeks of testing I don’t know how to move on.
At the moment I only use the manu mode at the thermostat. The Pi is able to receive all updates, thats fine. But I’m not able at all to trigger any changes at the Pi.
When I change the temperature in pimatic, the item turns grey and after several seconds, it changes back to white (black in default theme) and has the old temperature again. At the termostat nothing happened.
The thermostat is in manual mode and child lock is disabled. Do you have any ideas?
Same behavior with the other buttons (auto, comfy, eco, boost).
I also had some problems with the max cube but most of the time it works fine.
Restart the cube and make sure that you don’t have any other connections to the MAX cube (App, PC software, Cloud?) as it really can only handle one client.
I already did. And I also set everything to factory defaults. The connection must be fine, because reading the values works fine at every time.
