ELV declared that MAX! users can exchange their MAX!cubes for free to a Homematic IP access point and get a discount of 50% for their MAX!hardware on homematic IP hardware.
I am having three thermostats and two window sensors.
- Now I was wondering what might be the best way to go. Right now I am using the MAX!cube with the original firmware and the corresponding HASS integration. Does work, isn’t really stable. Just continuing this way would be option 1
- I read there is a way to flash another firmware onto the cube - doing this and keeping the MAX!thermostats is option 2
- trade in the current hardware, get brand new hardware for a good price (I guess) and work with homematic IP - BUT from what I read that doesn’t work without cloud access?! Would be a no go for me; I’m not spending money on smart hardware which HAS to have internet access…
any ideas and suggestions?
thanks!
