Changing Intellichlor output upon circuit switch on

[mzuniga51]

The idea is being able to deliver 100% output from the Intellichlor cell when a specific circuit is turned on. In this case, the idea is that Spa receives full cell output when heating which is when the chlorine consumption has an abnormal peak.

Post up your current njsPCAux.json file.

Here. Included the last attempt that didn't wor njsPCAux.txt k

Here is the section for setting the chlorinator.

    {
      "name": "virtualCircuit",
      "description": "Set the superchlor when the spa heater turns on or off",
      "body": "@bind=extend(true, {}, {id: 1, isDosing: data.isOn});",
      "enabled": true,
      "options": {
        "host": "192.168.68.165",
        "port": 4200,
        "method": "PUT",
        "path": "/config/chlorinator"
      },
      "filter": "@bind=data.id === 245;"
    }

Now I can briefly see a super chlorinate message but then it immediately disappears. Percentage output stays the same though.

Now I need a capture when the heater is going on then when it is going off. This should not be changing the setpoints only increasing the output. We have to fool IntelliCenter because it will try to set it back.

Here is the capture replay.zip

BTW, just for clarity of definitions...

Super Chlorinate has a duration and sets the chlorinator to 100% and ensures that the pool (or spa) stay on for the length of the super chlorinate function. It will return the chlorinator back to the previous output % after super chlorination is finished.

I think you just want to set the chlorinator to 100% but technically this isn't super chlorinating.

[mzuniga51]

Correct. The message that briefly appeared this last time said “Super chlor:” though.

[rstrouse]

Manuel, I looked at the replay it is setting the chlorinator to 100% there may be some delay with this but the cell is definitely ramping up to 100% and returning to the original setpoint afterwards. This looks like it is doing what you want.

[mzuniga51]

Let me go and check it out directly at the cell

[rstrouse]

It may just take a bit to report to njsPC

[mzuniga51]

Success! The cell is doing it. It is just that njsPC is not reporting it even after 30 min but that is not a problem for me. So long as it is happening! As always, many thanks Robert

[tagyoureit]

Is it not reporting in both instances?

[mzuniga51]

I have set the value for 10% and is reporting correctly. Once I set the heater, the cell lights goes to 100% but njsPC keeps reporting 10%

Funny we are just spitting out the wrong value

[mzuniga51]

Lets take our (almost) success and call it a day! lol
