Eq-3 MAX! CUBE dying, what should I buy instead?

Hardware Home Automation
1

Hi,
just as many other users of the eq-3 MAX! cube, I often have had problems with the cube. It looses all settings, and lately, the communitation between cube and the eq-3 MAX! software is failing. I tried installing the software from MAX! cube home automation (link to Dmitry-kazakov.de) and with that, I sometimes get communication with the thermostats ect. But it doesn’t show up in the eq-3 MAX! software.
What sould I byu to use instead of my
6 Radiator Thermostats,
4 wall Thermostats,
8 Window Contacts and
the cube?

I want to control it in OH4.3, that I have installed in Docker on my Synology NAS, so interface should either be over WLAN or cabled network.
Economy is important, but stability and ease of use has a higher priority.

Hallo,
wie viele andere habe ich immer wieder Probleme mit meinem MAX! CUBE. Er verliert einfach alle Settings, und neulich ist die Kommunikation zwischen MAX!-Software und Cube sehr fehlerhaft. Ich habe die Software von MAX! cube home automation installiert, und da kann ich ab und zu die Thermostate usw. verbinden, nur sehe ich sie nicht im MAX!-Software :frowning:
Was sollte ich anstatt die
6 Radiatorventile,
4 Wandthermostate,
8 Fensterkontakte und die
Cube
kaufen?
Ich möchte es gerne über OH4.3 Steuern.
OH läuft im Docker auf meine Synology NAS, so d.h. Interface sollte entweder über WLAN oder über Netzwerkverbundende GW gehen.
Ökonomie ist wichtig, zuverlässigkeit ist aber am wichtigsten…

Entschuldige meine fehlerhafte Deusche Gramatik. Ist für ein Nördling aus DK halt schwierig…

@stigaard Please write your text in english.

There are some alternative solutions here. In the end, it’s also a question of how much money you want to spend. I myself have had good experiences with Homematic. Alternatively, you can also use various Zigbee (Aqara, Sonoff, etc.) devices.

You can deploy a Buslogic CCU controller together with homegear to replace the cube and keep using your devices.
Search this forum, there’s several threads about that.

I’d move from Synology to a RPi for that though, getting sticks to work through VM layers is a hassle.

PS change title, too, please

Sorry, but I get no hits on searches in the forum and on google for Buslogic CCU. I guess it is an USB radio dongle to replace the MAX! Cube? Do you have a link to help me on?
As for the hassle with USB on VMs, yes. That is why I am looking for something to use on LAN.

Move your OH to a Raspi.

You can try to flash your Cube to be a CUN.
I have posted instructions long time ago…
