Usually if your probation was revoked and you spent the maximum amount of time under house arrest, your sentence should be over and there should be no need for probation.

If you serve the maximum time then you do not get probation after that. They can give you no more time so they would have no way to enforce probation.

You should refer back to the original sentence from the judge. Consult with an attorney to discuss your options further.
