For anyone looking in having a setup like above, theres a way without extra buying the cube or the ccu2 when using homematic thermostats. Please have a look at https://www.homegear.eu , which eliminates the need of those boxes as it runs on a raspberry pi which most of us already have. You will have to add a CUL or better build yourself a NanoCUL (arduino nano + CC1101 ). Homegear does all the pairing and communication (also scripts) and best of all its converting and outputs all the communication via MQTT, so you can use Node Red.

Sure I can do that, I will share it when I get home to the computer where it is located.

Thanks Tomas

Chose the FC-16 from the .h file and now it is working! Thanks again @AWI

Thomas, could/would you please share the 2.0 version of the sketch as i also want to use the max7219 modules with mysensors. I already tried them with the md_parola library examples and there are pretty nice animations and effects in there.

Any chances to use those effects other than the scrolling examples with a node red/mqtt gateway combination?
