Newbie start with Homematic CCU3: Initiation
Verfasst: 04.11.2018, 12:37
Finally,
after few years of looking around myself and with friends, following on different directions, reading a lot on internet and detecting at least some signs of attention to non-German speaking enthusiasts ...
I made an crazy step (for person without knowledge of German) and got an parcel from Amazon.de, consisting of Homematic:
- CCU3: HM-RCV-50
- Wall termostats: HM-TC-IT-WM-W-EU
- Heating termostats: HM-CC-RT-DN
- Wireless-window-turning handle contact: EQ-767-89
- Wireless switch actuator, PCB: HM-LC-Sw1-BBa-PC
That is minimal set required to begin from simple heating automation in my environment. Goal is to setup system on part of the house, not interfering at start with current, central thermostat based system, which worked well for last few years. Target is to complete setup based exclusively (as possible) on WebUI setup, not engaging scripting. Timeline is to get this completed by Christmas, where i plan to have week at home for "going live" Idea is to become friendly with system and after that start deep diving in to extended capabilities of EQ3.
More details on my environment and idea of setup:
Its an two floor townhouse, heated by natural gas(Junkers heater). Water boiler is directly connected to heater. Heating of house by radiators. There is also electric heating of floor in bathroom & toilets.
On first floor, I would have two zones, controlled through 2 wall thermostats and presumably operating on same temperature mode and schedule.
On second floor, there is only few radiator thermostats that would work on own (for second floor) temperature mode & schedule.
One of the essential requirements: basic life support functions should continue working without internet, without CCU present and so on..
At this stage I'm leaving aside management of electric heating. There is also ventilation control - again, leaving aside at this stage.
So that is, in brief, all what I got for now.
With hope for help from community, I decided to publish all challenges and issues I would go through: to get help & provide lessons learned for newcomers, who is at the same stage of knowing German. Limited only to essential phrases, like: "Guten abend, bitte zwei Bier"
Lets start..
P.S. while moving on WebUI manual, decided to make screenshots to replace original images, helping to initiative English Documentation by tomi_cc16
