New Delivery: Download right away, or have it shipped! The shipped EQ8 retail box contains a software download license. There is NO media device (CD, DVD, USB) included. There is a License ID and Password found in the package. This information will allow you to download the software from the EQ website. You will select either PC or Mac at the.

In general, reinventing the wheel seems like a waste of time. But I decided toroll my own anyway. The official software is closed source, requires an account,and only runs on Microsoft Windows. Most open source Max! projects are veryincomplete, but all the feature complete solutions are part of complicated homeautomation systems (FHEM, openHAB, Node-RED). And because I never used theoriginal software, I needed something that will even work if you begin with anew, unconfigured Cube.

Of course, my program is incomplete too. It does exactly what I need, but notmuch more.

Ease of use:

• No 'portal' account or any other cloud service needed.
• Works on new Max! Cubes out of the box.
• Works on most Linux systems without installing additional software.
• No configuration is needed, it can find the Cube automatically.
• All features can be used on the command line (beginner friendly).
• All features can be used via the Perl module (for advanced users).

Supported actions:

• Pairing new devices, assigning room IDs.
• Assigning names to rooms and devices.
• Cross-linking devices within a room.
• Setting (overriding) the temperature in a room.
• Switching a boiler on/off via an external program.
• Text based short or detailed status overview.

How to take a t test in excel 2011 for mac. Contrib scripts included:

• max2graphite will dump room statistics to a Graphite server running onlocalhost.
• set-gpio can be used to drive a GPIO pin (e.g. on a Raspberry Pi) toswitch a boiler via a relay.
• welterusten (Dutch for 'good night!') is an example of scheduling withat, as an alternative to fixed time schedules.

Prerequisites on a normal Linux system

All regular Linux distributions come with Perl and Perl modules pre-installed.

Prerequisites on an OpenWRT system

To run this program on a router running OpenWRT, install perl and its coremodules:

Installation

This repository comes without an installer and installation is not necessarybecause you can run it from the repository.

But you could do something like:

Assuming out-of-the box Cube:

1. Get a debug dump to see if anything works at all. You shouldsee your Cube's serial number and RF address:

If it cannot find your Max! Cube via UDP, you can set the MAX_HOSTenvironment variable. If discovery does work, you may want to set thevariable anyway, because that will make every call half a second faster.

2. Pair all the devices in a room. Pick a room number; in this example '2'is the room ID. It might be useful to pick different room numbers thanyour neighbours :)

3. See if the devices show up in the overview:

4. If you added multiple devices, set up links between the devices in theroom:

5. Set the temperature of the room:

6. See if the devices report the new setpoint:

7. Repeat 2 thru 6 for other rooms.

8. Use 'watch' to get a live refreshing overview:

Optionally, configure names for your rooms and devices:

You could store this as a script, in case you ever have to do it again.

You may skip this part if you don't have a boiler that needs to be switched.

The Max! system by itself is not suited for use with a boiler that requiresa single thermostat to indicate the demand for heating. The max switchcommand can emulate a simple thermostat and will execute a given command:

This example will call the set-gpio script with a single parameter(0 or 1) to control a relay.

Additional parameters can be specified if you need other values than 0 and1, and the command may include %s to indicate an alternative locationfor the variable:

This will run either enable-my-boiler or disable-my-boiler.

• max switch needs to be called frequently, for example once every 10 seconds.
• The program is stateless and will unconditionally execute the given command,even if no change has occurred.
• It will only request heat if any room with a wall thermostat is too cold ANDat least one TRV has a valve that is sufficiently opened. As such, it maytake a minute after setting a new temperature setpoint, before the heater willcome on.

For a dry-run test, use max switch echo.

THIS SOFTWARE MAY OR MAY NOT WORK FOR YOUR USE CASE. IT WAS WRITTEN FOR MYSPECIFIC SITUATION, BUT I HOPE IT'S USEFUL FOR YOURS. JUST DON'T COMPLAIN IF ITBURNS DOWN YOUR HOUSE..

Because I don't have all the different devices in the eQ-3 Max! range, and thevendor does not provide any official documentation, this software is based on alot of assumptions.

If you know Perl and have the Max! window switches or an 'eco button', pleasecontribute patches.

Please let me know. I'd love to receive a screenshot or copy/paste of max status on your system.

Helpful Hints:

• The Robotic Controller (Yellow Robotic Box included with EQ1) requires 6 AA Batteries (not included) . Plus, the Remote Control requires one CR 2025 Battery (not Included).
• To view the scene.skp files (3D Models) you will need Google Sketchup on your computer: http://sketchup.google.com/
• The Educational Robotic Kits were developed in Korea and the curriculum has mis-spelling and grammatical errors due to the translation. We are currently working with User Creative Robots to fix these errors: http://www.ucrobot.net/
• Make sure to download the curriculum (large files) and have your students follow along from their computer or print out and use as handouts.
