![]() ![]() AqualinkD is a fantastic suite but it's too tied to a physical control center for me to consider making a headless version. I couldn't get it to run in standalone mode, but I didn't try very hard.my thought was I could put in some pull requests to make it understand my heater, swg, and pump - and i havent given up on that line of thought because I don't want to re-invent the web interface. Also, since i'm skipping the middle man and hitting the devices directly it wasn't quite what I needed. The nodejs-PollController is an awesome resource and codebase, but since I don't have any intellitouch, intellivalves or pentair equipment the rs485 codes were completely different (I thought a thread here said that manufacturers had for a brief time come up with a common rs485 language but I see no sign of it). I'm very steep on the learning curve and I think I"m getting close to have the capability to completely parallel my fancy, and very expensive Intellicenter. Thankfully there are many like, , and several others that are making it possible for people like me to participate. Some of us need more of a crutch in one area or another. But it's not like we're all as capable as you. So answer to your question is definitely yes. Fortunately, there's a lot of software out there written by people that I can implement by just learning how to set it up. My big obstacle is programming and learning new languages since I haven't done programming for 40 years. So I started playing with this and realized how a cheap fantastic little computer the size of a pack of playing cards could be so easy to set up. Along the way I got to see all that can be done with Rpi. This worked great an did us all a huge favor by creating this app and helping a few like me get it up and running. Recently used the app to get me over the hump while waiting over a year for Pentair to fix trivial schedule change code they broke with and up date. I've had a start/pause/start again approach to this. From there it's easy to integrate all of this into web controls and IoT data. I figure i can deduce the responses to these commands in time. I imagine with the pump there is a command that selects the different speed presets. In theory, the heater temperature should be the same, just a different command number and presumably a temperature in farenheit. For example with the SWG setting the % is command 17 (or 0x11) and an argument value between 1 and 100. and the set commands SHOULD be very simple. Header, device id, and footer are easy enough. Has anyone here monitored the commands and responses between the controller and slave devices? Mutley, did you ever work with a heater or pump? I'm trying to brute force out command numbers to see what flies but i've had no luck getting a response. I'm at the point where i've identified the heater's device id as 104 (0圆8) and it responds to a probe with an ACK. I know this is essentially what the Autelis products are doing, but their website says they are shut down for covid and they are not known for sharing that sort of info. but without a controller to send commands to the pump or heater I don't have a way of reverse engineering their commands the same way. I see that Mutley started the AquapureD project to communicate directly with a SWG which is a great start. Unfortunately, all of these are efforts to communicate with a pool controller that in turn controls the slave devices. I find it amazing that all these devices have rs485 communications for their features and yet the codes to control them seem to be closely guarded trade secrets (judging from the takedown request for AqualinkD by Jandy).Ījohnson30 and Mutley have posted amazing programs that developed in these threads: Also, I have Hayward products mixed with Jandy so I think DIY would be my only option anyways. Can someone direct to next steps.I'm not interested in shelling out for a pool controller and this is a fun project for me. I have removed the panel and checked for burn marks on the back. To help trouble shoot the no power on the display panel. The question is can I take the load out wires and put to L1 post and then put the other to the L2 post to get the main pump running. I followed the wires from the breaker to check for power on far left terminal and where the wire from the breaker is feed to the line in has power. I'm new to all this so I sure I don't have it all correct. The Pentair is feed through a a seimens 40 amp breaker. The first question I have is since cold weather is coming tonight can I bypass the control board and get the Pentair pump running so I can circulate water. I started checking for power and I have power coming from the breaker. I opened up the panel to discover no power to the display. I have a Hayward Goldline Aqua Plus controller to a SWG, Pentair VSP, with a auxillary pump to clean the pool. Woke up today to find the pool pump not running. ![]()
