Heater not turning on #13

I have an UltraTemp heater from Pentair. I'm using the Nixie PoolController configured for Shared Body.

My Spa and Pool are separate bodies with their own pumps, but they share the use of the UltraTemp Heater (also functions as a cooler). Two valves with actuators control the flow of water to the UltraTemp, which means I can only heat/cool one body at a time.

When I imported all the circuits into my Home (HomeKit), it read the UltraTemp as two separate heaters (one for the pool and one for the spa). No biggy I thought, BUT for some reason, the heater will not turn on. It's powered on, but the heat/cool functions don't engage.

Either something is wrong with talking to the UltraTemp or the plugin is confused by the Shared Body aspect of the configuration that Nixie PoolController provides.

@spifftek70 I think #15 should fix your issue. Had the same problem where I could turn off the heater if turned on via Nodejs Pool Controller, but could never turn it on from Homekit.
