Intellitouch/Easytouch Pool Control Plugin

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion

Chris,

Yes this is still being supported. The IOS app unfortunately is closed those of us writing plugins. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of MCV for changes to that. For the most part all of the standard and feature circuits work just fine with the mobile app. However, MCV programmers do not seem to add support very often for plugins.

I log in using the web app on my mobile browser. Try it you may find it works pretty well for you.

I just installed the new version and I’m not getting the connection error anymore. Is there any chance you can add the “category_num” parameter to set it to 5 (thermostat) so that mobile apps understand it is a thermostat and display the right parameters? I’m using Veramate and the thermostat shows “off and heater” without showing any temperature or temperature settings. Thanks again for a great app!

183

I will set it to 5 to see what happens but I suspect that won’t matter. Maybe in Veramate.

184

Tks, I’ll test it once you upload and I’ll report back.

185

Any chance we could get support for IntelliPh?

186

Is this tied to the Intellichem interface or is this standalone outside the Personality board? If it is tied to the Intellichem then it is already supported. Try http:///chem.xml to see what it returns.

187

I’m still getting the connection error messages, with less frequency. Anything I can do to help debug? Tks for a great plugin!

188

Let’s try this Lua file. Copy it to your Vera then reload Luup. This file also sets the category and subcategory for the heaters.

re: IntellipH

This electrically sits in between the panel and the IntelliChlor unit. It’s an acid pump that monitors the salt cell status, and if OK, pumps acid in at regular intervals. The only real settings are the amount of acid to add and to initiate a manual dose. But it also tracks when it was unable to deliver a dose (low flow, low temperature, salt levels, etc.).

Chris,

Open up a web browser and type the following. Replace with the IP address of your Autelis unit. Then post the results here.

///chem.xml

This should tell us if it is being reported through the Intellichem as one of the components of Intellichem is an acid pump.

Well it is not listed in ichem. How does it appear in your EasyTouch/Intellitouch controller? Is it tied to a specific circuit?

193

Digging through the EasyTouch menus I can’t find any reference to it. The IntelliChlor cable (power and data) that normally plugs into the panel plugs directly into the IntellipH controller, which then has a similar cable that plugs into the panel. When power is applied to the IntelliChlor, it is also applied to the IntelliPh. I have to make the settings changes on the IntellipH controller itself, not the EasyTouch. So it looks like Pentair might have designed this as a bump on the wire and the IntelliPH doesn’t add data to the bus. I hope that’s not the case, but I’m beginning to fear that’s the case.

194

From what I have read about it this appears to be the case. I don’t think there is data to be got.

195

Well, I’ll move on to me next request then!

I’m using version 3.0 of your plugin, but Intellibrite status and commands like All On, Color, etc. are not available to PLEG or scenes. When I load D_PentairIntellibrite.json into the Device Simulator, it throws several warnings about ControlCodes missing and how the control won’t be available in scenes. IntelliFlo has this available, so is this just a bug in the Intellbrite code?

Nope not a bug in the Intellibrite code I just never added an events section to the Intellibrite panel json which defines the triggers for a scene and I presume pleg. The Device Simulator displays a bunch of these messages for things that are not controllable items including but not limited to hard line breaks on the buttons. All actions are available in scenes for this panel as control codes are applied to each controllable item.

Easy enough though I will add an events selection for color selection, All On/Off, and each of the Sync/Hold/Recall buttons. I will get to this this week. On a side note there are triggers for each of the Intellibrite lights attached to the Intellibrite controller for On/Off.

Hello,

I have Autelis Pentair plugin installed and the version that displays is 2.1. I see that I can download the plugin 3.0 directly, but is there plans for it to be available through the one-click install through Vera, i.e, “Update App” button?

Thanks!
Chris

Chris,

Yes you may simply upload the files to your Vera through the develop apps directory. I plan on going back and fixing the deployment from the app store but I haven’t had a moment to get 'er dun.

I have a VeraPlus running 1.7.3015. I installed the app from the store, then updated the files to 3.0. I’m just trying to get the demo to work before deciding to buy an Autelis device, but I keep getting a “Starting Lua Failed” message. The status shows as starting up… When I go into the configure menu, I get “GetAtpConfiguration call failed:undefined”.

Any ideas?

The plugin requires you to be connected locally to do the initial configuration once it has been configured it doesn’t need to be local anymore. Use the IP address of your Vera to connect. Then use the configuration tool. Choose the Configure tab then check the Simulation Mode checkbox.
