maxcube

eQ-3 Max! Cube interface library.

For a cli, see maxcube-cli. If you want to integrate your MAX! Cube in node-red, use node-red-node-maxcube.

Example

var MaxCube = require('maxcube');
var myMaxCube = new MaxCube('192.168.1.123', 62910);

myMaxCube.on('connected', function () {
  console.log('Connected');

  myMaxCube.getDeviceStatus().then(function (payload) {
    console.log(payload);
    myMaxCube.close();
  });
});

myMaxCube.on('closed', function () {
  console.log('Connection closed');
});

Events

  • connected
  • closed

API

getConnection()

Returns a promise for an active connection.

myMaxCube.getConnection().then(function () {
  ..
});

close()

Closes the connection to the Max! Cube immediately (when active).

getCommStatus()

Returns the last known communication status (duty cycle & free memory slots).

getDevices()

Returns devices (from cache).

getDeviceInfo()

Returns device info (from cache).

getRooms()

Returns room info (from cache).

getDeviceStatus([rf_address])

Returns a promise with device status of all or specified devices.

myMaxCube.getDeviceStatus().then(function (devices) {
  devices.forEach(function (device) {
    var deviceInfo = myMaxCube.getDeviceInfo(device.rf_address);
    console.log(deviceInfo.device_name + ', ' + deviceInfo.room_name);
    console.log(' temperature: ' + device.temp);
    console.log(' setpoint: ' + device.setpoint);
    console.log(' valve: ' + device.valve);
    console.log(' mode: ' + device.mode);
  });
});

setTemperature(rf_address, degrees, (optional) mode, (only for vacation mode) untilDate)

Set setpoint temperature for specified device and returns a promise.

Possible modes are: 'AUTO', 'MANUAL', 'BOOST' and 'VACATION'. If no mode is given, 'MANUAL' is presumed.

Format untilDate as ISO 8601, e.g. 2019-06-20T10:00:00Z.

myMaxCube.setTemperature('0dd6b5', 18).then(function (success) {
  if (success) {
    console.log('Temperature set');
  } else {
    console.log('Error setting temperature');
  }
});
