Difficult installation - Maue app, but concept 1a

Yesterday I received my kit and of course directly connected.
The Cube is powered via USB and has a RJ45 connector. A separate power supply is included, but is not necessary. Since I have connected to my FritzBox no printer, the Cube So now hangs with network cable and USB directly to the Fritz box and is completely powered through this.

The institution, however, was but unintentionally difficult. In general, the device is only possible with the downloaded software. This installs a Java applet and takes over at the Cube. So far so good, Cube has been found and wanted to first upgrade to the latest firmware before you can continue to adjust anything. Under Win7 64-bit, the drama ("no connection to the Internet") was. In the end I take Chrome uses the IE and all network interfaces activated to the WLAN interface. Then it worked at the 3rd attempt.

Unfortunately, the control always reacts with some delay and it can also only one user to log in "at the same time". Other connection attempts are then blocked. Goofy, if you forgot to close the portal and then trying to access on the move. In 2012, goes quite differently.

One of the previous comments I disagree here, too: in the set to control all devices from a central system is the focus - whether via browser or app. Therefore, the app / WebUI is for me also an integral part of the overall package and also evaluated.

After firmware update we went quite fast: the thermostats are also without an adapter on my old radiators and are also installed by gross motor Rikern in a few minutes. All devices are quickly found by the cube and can be assigned directly to the rooms.

(PS: since I have seen that the price is now higher: at me the set had 159 cost)
