but even then i'm not sure you can get the info into/do anything about it in C4. you can not get this info from iLink ($200) but can via pentair's screenlogic2 ($500+). of course, you will need a serial connection between your c4 controller and pentiar but everyone added that during construction, right! also would need a $10 rs485rs232 protocol adapter and because i'm running this on my development ea1, i needed a $15 3.5mm to rs232 adapter.Īlso, as noted above, a direct connection gives you access to everything on the bus - iChem, iChlor, detail pump info, etc. by going direct, you can bypass MQTT (your entire network really) and not get caught by a change in pentair's MQTT interface and not require a separate box as noted above. disclaimer is that i have an intellitouch, not an intelliconect, but the intelliconect uses the same serial connection to talk to other pentair equipment. This is what you do, or more specifically, what i'm doing: i wrote a pool proxy driver "bPentair" (not released) with the ability to directly read/write to the Pentair serial bus. part of the issue is the c4 pentair driver (functionality and including an issue or two i have with the c4 pool proxy) and part the pentair iLink. in the lower right of the page you showed.My current pentair integration is probably the weakest and least reliable component in my setup. To see the setup page I showed above you have to go into the "Configure ScreenLogic" tab. Let me know if that does not make sense." At 1 pm the speed increase to 2000 RPM and at 2 pm the pump goes back to running at 1200 RPM until 8 pm. At 10 am the pump goes back to running at 1200 RPM. At 9 am the pump increases speed to 1500 RPM. Scheduled from 9 am until 10 am (You can name it anything you like.)įeature Circuit #2 called Skim High. Say 1200 RPM.įeature Circuit #1 called Skim low. at the lowest speed that will run the SWCG. Say you want to run from 8 am until 8 pm. Why would you want to run the pump and not make chlorine. The Key is to always have the Pool or Spa Circuit on for the entire time you want the pump running. This relay only closes when in the Pool or Spa mode. Your SWCG's transformer is wired to the load side of the Pump/Filter relay. "Your system is working just like it was designed. I just posted the following in another thread, but it should work for you also.
