EQ-3 Max Integration - Newbee Question

Configuration
1

Hi, I have just installed HA onto my Pi following your guides and now want to start to add some integrations for my devices.
I have been trying to install EQ-3 Max so as to connect to my cube and three radiator valves but so far I can’t seem to see it listed in the Add-Ons yes it is shown in the integrations listed on this site?

Is this something I’m doing wrong in not adding another repository or something?

Did you add maxcube to your configuration?
The docs show what the configuration should look like.

Hi Cyn,
Yes I tried that and have added to the following to my configuration.yaml file

maxcube:
gateways:
- host 192.168.1.103

Nothing shows in the logs to suggest its come up and nothing seems discovered?
The cube can be pinged from the HA.

Formatting is extremely important in yaml, did you indent as per the documentation?

Hi Cyn,
It had an extra tab before gateway so changed to reflect exactly as per integration page and then got this message?

This is my configuration.yaml

I don’t use the editor in my configuration but my mind stopped at the word tab, try spaces instead.

Hi Cyn,
Tried that and got the same error when restarting the core?

I’m pretty sure there should be a colon after host.

Hi elfrinjo
thanks, tried that but still same result

10

Nothing new here?
Got the same problem!

11

just in case someone is bumping in to this old thread …

maxcube integration yaml

Working fine here, using port and scan_interval. If I remember right it will not work without port.

[/quoteHello. I have done exactly as you have done but still can’t get it to work. HASS cannot find Maxcube. What could be the wrong belief? I get this error message.

ok, can you copy the part from your configuration?
It seems, that something with your format is wrong and there’s a “-” where it shouldn’t be.

maxcube:
  gateway:
    - host: {your_maxcube_host_ip}

with yaml, the correct amount of spaces is important :slight_smile: [usually, two]

17

I tried removing the “-” and then got this error message.

I have two spaces. (ahh) What can be wrong?

18

I’m going crazy with this

I think I’ve progressed a bit. But I can’t bring up max cube in the dashboard and read this in the log.

Hey there!

Seems like you are using the official EQ-3 Max Integration.
I did not have any luck with it either, then found:

EQ-3 Max “costum” integration

From this thread:

maybe this has to do with you problem of trying to set a temp and then see it go back to its original value.

This costum integration worked fine for the last year. (Wall thermostat, 3 TRVs, MaxCube) - as one of my TRVs broke i replaced EQ-3 max completely and do not use it anymore. (Now Tuya TS0601 all over)

Sorry, my Last post … was for this costum integration.
