SWG delayed status readings / pool controller not detecting status changes? #122

Closed johnny2678 closed 4 years ago

johnny2678 commented 5 years ago

Expected behavior and actual behavior

Low Flow warnings aren't shown as cleared even though the SWG (Pentair IC40) LEDs say flow is fine

What is actually happening (screenshots are helpful)

PoolController still reads Low Flow even after SWG LEDs indicate flow has been restored

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Run Pump at low RPMs forcing a Low Flow state
  2. Increase RPMs - SWG status will return to green but poolController still reads low flow

Specifications

  1. What version of the code are you using?

5.3

  1. All output from the file log (See packet capture)

swg.zip

  1. Any errors that are in the console

no errors, but you can observe the occurance at the following time stamps

I think I have this fixed in the 6.0-alpha. Can you give it a try?

tagyoureit commented 5 years ago

Actually, doing some more testing I'm even seeing Screenlogic showing a delay. Intellitouch only sends the chlorinator packet out every minute. Screenlogic and app status correctly updated flow status after ~2 mins. Not sure we can get this any lower, but test it out.

v6 does a much better job of monitoring chlorinator comms.
