The installation is really super easy and can be done by anyone. Unscrew the old thermostat, reassemble with the appropriate adapter and readjust unit. After two minutes (depending thermostat) all is done. The software to load to the PC works fine, the Maxcube was recognized without problems of my Fritz box and my PC. I also installed the app on my tablet and my smartphone, works without any problems. The thermostats can be controlled manually or with a weekly program.
Everything really great, a hook has the whole thing. The original software does not offer all the functions. It is only the desired target temperature display, nothing else. On the Internet a free software MaxBuddy how aptly the name is yet to be downloaded. Here also the actual temperature, the opening degree of the valve in% and the next temperature change is indicated. Programming is hereby not possible. It can always be opened only the one or the other program. It is not to be understood that if the thermostats send the whole data but to the Maxcube why the associated program does not even display the data. A combination of Max and MaxBuddy might be better than desirable, it Währe perfect. In various forums I have read repeatedly that the manufacturer but declines. Pity and not understandable, the missing real yet. I've configured the system with Max and use on my PC since MaxBuddy to display. Unfortunately, there are not as MaxBuddy App. An intervention in the system via smart phone at any time by Max possible.
In the second step, I have expanded the system to the contacts window, which also works fine. If a window opens and flashes the contact sends a signal to the thermostat, which closes the valve immediately.
