Tutorials & Examples

Thanks for the advice. My problem was that the cube has received a new IP address from the router. So I only had to restart homegear.
Another example for “Das Problem sitzt meist vor dem Rechner” :wink:

Cheers,

Glad you solved it :wink:

I was fed up with my cube’s Alzheimer and finally went down this route, too.
Should have done that way earlier rather than to have obstacle course runs around my home every time.

ZWave would have probably been the better choice in the beginning but now I’ve got way too many MAX! window contacts in operation so that would have been too painful. Also those I prefer over ZWave as they have standard AAA batteries and are cheaper.

In the first place I tried to flash my spare cube - just to notice it’s broken.
Luckily digging my treasure chest revealed another CUL stick from the FHEM days, and that one works, with my ex cube now being the spare.

Thanks for your pointers. Fixed homegear in openHABian along the way :slight_smile:

Hi, first of all my thanks for this awesome work. I’m trying to save my “old” Max Cube thermostats with this.

Flashing the Cube was succesfull.
But I have problems setting up Homegear. Followed the instructions on the homepage but couldn’t figure the full configuration out.
I connected the cube to my fritz.box, receiving an IP-adress.
Installed homegear on my ubuntu server which is runnung nextcloud with SSL.
When I start homegear I get messages that port 80 is already in use.

Can anyone help me?

Hi, @M_L:

Just guessing, but most probable is that you have another web server running on that port. Maybe Openhab itself…
