Here is the link to the smartthings topic smartthings pentair. I have screenlogic and do the same thing as you, use a rs232 usb adapter hooked up to the wireless screenlogic adapter inside my house. I am able to pull all the information using a js.node program that was developed for smartthings. Perhaps when bPentair get a little further along, i can look at the differences between intellitouch and intellicenter and intelliconect. as an example, the screenshot is real/live data. 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. I ended up drilling a small hole in the back, above the trace at pin4, in hopes of cutting the trace with a small drill bit or blade.My current pentair integration is probably the weakest and least reliable component in my setup. it's a little more difficult because the shell is fused and cannot be disassembled. I have since performed the same "hack" on a PSL4 wireless controller. Notice the hole in the pin 1-2 trace loop on an 8 button keypad. you could of course do the same thing with a blade. I didn't cut the loop trace on this particular controller, but if I had the controller would illuminate the LEDs for aux circuits 4-7 when they are active.īelow is an 8-button keypad cut off a wireless unit, showing the hole that breaks the loop trace.

on an 8 button keypad the loop trace is broken, but it is in-tact on a 4 button keypad. There's a loop trace from pin 1 to pin 2 that identifies the controller as having 4 or 8 buttons. It does still only have 4 buttons, but if really needed more, I could mount some switches, wire them to the keypad connector, and make one last keypad modification. it can program extra schedules and timers which is what I was hoping for. This modified indoor controller will now work as an Easytouch 8 with my outdoor board. **The early PSL4 firmware used a different "s19" file than the other ET4/8 controllers, but since 2.160 it's been combined to a single file - so that's what I used here. We've now got an Easytouch 8 controller (there are still only 4 buttons!)

Pin 4 is 4th from the left, Pin 1 is indicated by the arrow.Īfter cutting the keypad trace and updating the firmware to 2.160**, the Software Revision now reports that this unit is an Easytouch 8 running 2.160.
