MAX! ist eine Heizungssteuerung, die die Raumtemperatur durch funkvernetzte Heizkörperthermostate an den Heizkörpern regelt. MAX! stellt eine Alternative zur FHT und HomeMatic Heizungsteuerung dar.

This pages describes the steps required to migrate a house installation from MAX!Cube solution (using a Cube and MAX! Software from ELV/EQ-3) to FHEM on a Raspberry Pi combined with a CUL. The benefit of such a migration is to gain better logfiles, to get graphs (Desired vs. Actual temperature and Valve position) and more reliable software.

FHEM is a software, written in perl, which enables you to manage (eg. EVL) home automation devices over a Webinterface, with the Help of a radio transmitting USB Stick (CUL/CUN). As an alternative to USB Transmitters/Receivers LAN-devices can be used (CUNO/HM-CFG-LAN). I installed it on a Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H, which has plenty of memory and storage. You might have to install it on an external usb storage or make a swapfile on the usb drive.
