Pump only - don't have intellitouch or intellicomm #130

Is it possible to use this with the pump only and no intellitouch or intellicomm controller?

I have the pump only and I bought a USB RS485 adapter an plan to hook it to the directly pump.

(Pentair IntelliFlo VS Plus SVRS Variable Speed in Ground Pool Pump - 011057)

I am using version 5.3.0 I set equipment as follows: "equipment": { "controller": { "intellicom": { "installed": 0, "friendlyName": "" }, "intellitouch": { "installed": 0, "friendlyName": "", "numberOfCircuits": 20, "numberOfPumps": 1, "numberOfCustomNames": 10, "numberOfSchedules": 12 }, "virtual": { "pumpController": "default", "chlorinatorController": "default" } }, Console shows: DEBUG LOG ... 09:13:25.277 INFO No pool controller (Intellitouch or IntelliComII) detected. No configuration request messages sent. 09:13:43.212 WARN queuePacket: Not queueing packet 165,0,96,33,4,1,255 because SerialPort/Net connect is not open. 09:13:43.217 WARN queuePacket: Not queueing packet 165,0,96,33,7,0 because SerialPort/Net connect is not open. 09:14:08.945 ERROR Error opening port: Opening /dev/ttyUSB0: Unknown error code 3.

Yes, if you have the pumps section set to have 1+ pump it should start the virtual controller automatically. You can also set the virtual pumpController to always.

I would expect the debug log entries that you are seeing until you plug in the adapter. When you get your adapter check the wiki.
