If you have questions have look at the Issue and Pull Request area on our Github repository or ask a question in the pimatic forum.

Information

Because of the support ending for pimatic 0.8.x, we only support pimatic > 0.9.x !

Usage

If device discovery is activated in the device section of pimatic, the maxcul plugin automatically detects incoming pairing messages for 20 seconds and reacts accordingly. New paired devices are displayed in the discovery overview.

Group support: All devices support groups. If a group is defined, the command is sent to the device but all devices in the same group react to it.

Pairing support: Devices can be connected to each other. Pairing must be done reciprocally. To revoke the paring a facotry reset must be done.

Fake devices: There are two types of fake devices.

Config transfer button: All devices have a config tranfer button. The general config but also the group ID and pair IDs are sent to the device using the config tranfer button. After the configuration is finished, the button can be removed from the gui.
