Lighting? #55

Closed rayzorben closed 7 years ago

rayzorben commented 7 years ago

Got my RS485 USB port, hooked it up to my RPI and got it working today, excellent job!

Is there any support for the lighting? What I am looking for is the ability to set the spa and pool lights to different colors.

If I use the 'Color Set' functionality I can do this through the Intellilogic software. There is also 'Intellibright' that allows me to set 1 of 5 colors, but it is set for both the pool and the spa to the same color.

The problem that I found out this holiday season is that although 'Intellibright' supports a Green and Red, 'Color Set' does not have a Red color. The bulbs can actually output a red, but I can't set the lights to Red and Green, so I am hoping to direct this manually.

Any ideas?

Hi, Glad you got it working. I have a lot of equipment, but unfortunately I don't have any of the LED color changing lights so I can't decode those packets locally.

What you can try to do is go into the config.json and set logConsoleNotDecoded: 1 and loglevel: debug. Then from your wired/wireless/screelogic controller toggle the colors and see what packets are sent. Hopefully, there will be some packets that have RGB values (eg rgb example with 0,0,0 = black all the way to 255,255,255 = white).

See the wiki for examples of how other packets are configured.

Let me know what you find. Tag

will try it out tomorrow and report back.

Here's what I got. There are 2 light color modes. Intellibright where you can set a color specifically or a 'color shifting mode'.

There is also a 'Settings' panel where you can set the pool light separately from the spa light, and it communicates this back to the EasyTouch, but doesn't actually set these colors unless you hit 'Color Set' button.

If you want to give me an idea of the format, I can look into helping out with the project.

Thanks for posting these. Been a busy few days. Let me find some time to dig into this.

tagyoureit commented 7 years ago

Hi, I started to look into this.

Couple of questions.

  1. Which of the following do you have: IntelliBrite® LED light, MagicStream® laminars, SAm® or SAL® color lights
  2. It looks like the controller can accept color swim, color set, sync or smart start commands. Do you know which one of these you are using?
  3. Can you post your circuits from the following URL (http://computername:3000/circuit) ? Some of the lighting will map back to your circuits.
  4. See page 46 here (http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/IntelliTouchOM.pdf). There is also the configuration to assign lights (assuming Intellibrite, but also true for the other types) into groups.

As you can probably tell, there are many options with the pool lighting. It's a tangled web. :-)

jeffleus commented 7 years ago

I actually don't know anything about the hardware as it was already there when we bought the house and there were no manuals, etc. The spa light is just a basic incandescent light. The pool light has a color wheel mechanism in it that can run in two modes. (1) Wheel fixed at the current color. (2) Wheel spins and changes colors from the light over time. The light is signaled to enter mode by toggling power ON-OFF-ON quickly. Jenky right? I don't know if one of the color color wheel lights like SAm or SAl match this feature set and have had trouble just researching online. Probably need to hit a pool supply store.

No idea on the commands. All of my hardware is older and very analog driven w/ a binary state, except for the previously mentioned light.

I will post the circuit info after grabbing it tonight. But I made some progress already on my own. I could see the circuits assigned to AUX1 and AUX2, which are the relays connected to the spa light and pool light. But these did not show on the UI because I noticed you have a variable that is set to hide the AUX circuits. When I changed this, the AUX1, AUX2, and AUX3 circuits appeared above the feature buttons... and they worked! I was able to figure out how to rename the circuits at the controller and after a restart, the circuits appeared as named: SPA LIGHT, POOL LIGHT, and BLOWER.

I guess the part that has been the most confusing to me is in regards to the "FEAUTRES". I

...Sorry I fat-fingered a pre-mature send...

Anyway, I was under the impression that I needed to be working w/ the naming/assigning the features (esp since the UI was only showing feature buttons). But now, I think I am all set from the standpoint of your sfwr.

The only thing that would be considered missing is the system reporting on the heater status. I just get a "--" output in the UI. I imagine this field in the system status should show when the heater is actively on and heating the water? Thoughts on where to look? Do you think it might help to have a default of show AUX, or maybe some notes in the docs? I could submit this as a specific issue and even submit a pull request to change. Thoughts.

On the topic of automation and Alexa, I spent some more time looking into options and the AWS IoT offering provides a much more comprehensively secured solution for connecting Alexa and devices behind the home firewall. My next step is to get a RPi and get your software working effectively. In parallel, I plan to start playing around w/ the AWS IoT service and see if I can mock something up. This could then run as a "device" on the RPi with an appropriate deviceShadow that controls/reports all the state. And it could repsond to the AWS IoT message that can be configured to securely communicate w/Alexa or a mobile app for that matter.

Lots of good thoughts!

I actually don't know anything about the hardware as it was already there when we bought the house and there were no manuals, etc.

What controller do you have? You should be able to see either by something on the outside/inside of the controller itself or by going into the menu (I think it is Diagnostics on the Intellitouch).

The light is signaled to enter mode by toggling power ON-OFF-ON quickly. Jenky right?

Yes, very! Do you have Intellibrite? http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/IntelliBrite%205G%20OM.pdf There are instructions there for power-cycling to get to different light modes.

I could see the circuits assigned to AUX1 and AUX2, which are the relays connected to the spa light and pool light. But these did not show on the UI because I noticed you have a variable that is set to hide the AUX circuits.

Yes, where is this? :-) We can definitely note this. Aux may in-deed mean that it is not assigned, but it is good to be able to see it as in your case.

The only thing that would be considered missing is the system reporting on the heater status.

Yes, this is still a little bit (pun intended) of a mystery. I've tried a few times to nail down exactly what is happening but it has proved a little difficult. Hence the 'help wanted' tag on https://github.com/tagyoureit/nodejs-Pentair/issues/32.

On the topic of automation and Alexa Awesome! Let's take this conversation to the Gitter forums and continue it there.

Glad you have made so much progress!

jeffleus commented 7 years ago

I will check the controller version info tonight. But EasyTouch-8 is the retail model name.

Can't be Intellibrite since it is an incandescent bulb.

Just posted an issue on the github repo for the $hideAux variable with a link to the line in code.

I will look at the #32 help wanted and do a little digging in my logs.

I will try and summarize the AWS IoT stuff on the gitter/home_automation channel tonight.

@tagyoureit

I have IntelliBrite LED light

It looks like the controller can accept color swim, color set, sync or smart start commands. Do you know which one of these you are using?

Any of the commands that say Set to Color are what I believe they call Smart Start commands. They set both lights to the same color. This is also part of the color mode series such as Royal, Caribbean, etc.. which changes the colors between a fixed set of colors.

Any of the commands that say Settings Light to Color are done from the Settings panel. These do not actually turn on the lights or set the color at that time. You HAVE to press "Color Set" to use these colors, and it is the only way to set the lights to different colors.

The 2nd to last one is the Color Set command.

I will post an answer to 3 and 4 hopefully soon. It has been raining to flood levels recently and I have to go outside and run the cable and leave the door open currently to test this out :P
