In all fairness it’s not control4 shitting the bed on this it’s pentair. If you need Beta testers for an Intellicenter or IntelliTouch driver, I am in! I have both. I have no idea how to make control4 drivers but if anyone needs any sort of assistance in terms of beta testing or anything like that to make screenlogic work I'd be happy to help. I hope you have plans to make the control4 driver available or someone else steps up to do this. Given that this works for smartthings I'd imagine it would work for control4 in the very way you are showing above. This method allows me to change things as well including turning on various pumps, lights, etc. There is links in that topic to the github as well as the smartthings driver (app). 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. My current pentair integration is probably the weakest and least reliable component in my setup.

Pentair screenlogic wont connect
