Please forgive my ignorance but I am not sure exactly what to do with the send_message.js file. I have nodejs_poolController running and I am assuming this code allows nodejs_poolcontroller to communicate with my pool equipment via my existing screenlogic IP based controller. A little direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, send_message.js is really just a minimal example of communicating with the screenlogic over IP. The full protocol (or at least as much of it as I was able to document) is in protocol_document.pdf. Unfortunately it is not currently integrated with nodejs_poolcontroller. At one point we had talked about doing an integration, but a substantial amount of work is still needed for that to happen. I am currently working on a nodejs library to implement the protocol and once that is done, it should be not too much additional work to integrate with nodejs_poolcontroller. But this is still a work in progress...
