Another newbie here
Verfasst: 16.09.2016, 20:43
First of to say a big hello to everyone and apologies in advance if I overlooked some information before posting questions here (which I probably did).
I live in Austria (freshly got here, my german is ok but still prefer to speak in english ) - Vienna, and I recently bought Homematic CCU in Conrad (classic one, not IP) along with some radio wall power switches (Funkschaltaktor) - outside units, not relays for inside installation...
I actually bought it to experiment and play a little until I figure it good enough after which I plan to slowly automate my whole apartment.
Well, my biggest problem is that with main central unit I just got some basic manual for connecting and updating it's firmware. As for the programming , zero
I recon this is a pretty big area, I'm actually glad I've found this forum but now I feel kind of lost and not sure where to start... so any input / help or point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Btw, as said, I don't have problem with reading german , just need some help in figuring the steps I should take in learning about Homematic (of course if there are some materials in english - bitte schon)
Ok, right of the bat I got one thing that's bothering me. I figured out alone how to program the unit to switch on / off the power switches in certain time of the day. (like 20:00h ON , 21:00h OFF) - but that's about it
I was wondering if someone could help me with programing the unit to switch them periodically. I.e. every third day , at 20:00 - ON and after some time, like 5min , it switches OFF , until next 3rd day and so on... that would be my no. 1 step to know, as I need to implement it soon.
I wanted actually to write down all the things that I'd like to install with homematic, but I figure I should not push too hard immediately on you guys , besides I'm willing to do some reading on my own first.
That's it for now , thank you in advance for any help and input and looking forward to being part of this great and versatile HM community.
Best Regards,
Neven
