Aquarite Pool

Hi. I installed Tasmota Neopool also on an ESP32 and everything works normally, I have all the options in the web interface of Tasmota but in HA the relays do not appear (no filtering, no lights and no Aux), only the sensors appear. Any idea why?

Great, many thanks for these inputs, that was a great help! I got the firmware on the ESP now.

So with your help I got the compiled firmware on the ESP. I have conected through a RS485 together with a power supply (as I don’t have the voltage reducer yet) to EXTERN of my Hayward Aquarite. I can see the device on my router and can connect to it with the IP address.
Following the instructions, I was expecting to have on the Tasmota settings under the relevant parameters GPI01 (RX) and GPI03 (TX) NeoPool RX and NeoPool TX accoringly. However, I cannot find anything alike in the dropdown.
I have a feeling that I might have done something wrong when compiling the firmware from docker-tasmota although I thought I did follow the steps and I also got the built.Tasmota-DE.bin.
Any idea what could be the issue? Is there any customization that needs to be done when compiling the firmware (I didn’t quite understand the purpose of the user_config_override)? Thanks!

In user_config_overide you should have this, what I selected/highlighted in the printscreen.

No ideea? Anyone?

as you compile the binary add those lines

@fdebrus This is what I was talking about. I’ve compiled it with those line. Everything works in the Tasmota web UI but after I added it in HA, I only see the sensors and other infos but I don’t have the switches/relays.

In the previous step, what features did you select ?

Share the screen of your Tasmota web interface.
How does your MQTT config looks like ?

I used Visual Code and didn’t have those options. I am not an expert in these things I just learn them when I bump into them and need them. So, what programm is that one you used?

This is how they look like!

I do not know where the issue could be. Seems all correct to me. check more widelly on the forum eg Tasmota device - Not showing a Tasmota switch (no relay) in the integration - Configuration - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io)

Hi @fdebrus
Newbie to pools and I have a Aquarite Flo Advanced 22 . Don’t have a ETH cable to the pump house and wifi is my only possible way. The offical wifi module seems way to expensive

Seems that you have done a excellent job on the HA via MODBUS and from what I understand you have a fully operational setup and can control all options on the aquarite via HA.

Would it be possible to get a Parts list (including the support board) and how you connected the modules (back side picture how you did you soldering/wiring to the MODBUS port)
and if not to much to ask, the tutorial as confused with the “Tasmota” Github and your GitHub - fdebrus/Aquarite and which to use ?

Sorry for inconvience but all this is confusing

thank for your help

@fdebrus would it be possible to make a button also for the PH pump relay?

Hi all,

So I have all the components

DollaTek Adaptateur TTL to RS485 485 Serial Port Module de Conversion UART Level 3.3V 5V

esp8266 ESP-8266EX CP2104

DollaTek Module de Puissance DC-DC régulateur abaisseur 3A réglable 5V/12V/24V

According to the tasmota documents Sugar Valley NeoPool Controller - Tasmota there diagram provide a wiring schema like this
ESP8266-TTL-SugarValley

However how do your wire this to the MODBUS RS485 connector pins to power it up without a external power supply ?
All your help is welcomed

Take the 12v and GND from Sugar Valley/Hayward to your DC-DC converter “IN” and from your DC-DC converter “OUT” to your ESP board VCC (5V) and GND.

@Cosmin.FRC ok so the DC-DC 12v in (stepped down to 5v out )to the ESp8266
Then follow the wiring schem.above
Thanks for this

Question. I have an older Hayward SwimPure Plus chlorinator. According to my research, it’s an AquaRite controller board thus it should be controllable via the Sugar Valley NEO Pool ESP32 firmware. But the references above to DISPLAY & WIFI RS485 connectors along with @fdebrus’s picture lead me to believe that my SwimPure plus ISN’T controllable with this as I only have the one RS485 port labeled ‘aqualink’. Nothing much comes up when I search for aqualink.

Anyone know if this will work or not?

The board may be similar to Hayward/Sugar Valley “lite” versions wich doesn’t have all the options.
From what I recall Hayward SwimPure Plus uses a white body inline cell wich is similar to Sugar Valley older models.
The “aqualink” port I think is used to connect multiple units as MASTER and SLAVE.
Share a picture of your main board.

Anybody know if this will hayward Aquarite work and what the pinout would be?
I don’t have the same pins as the one shown above.
I’m assuming that (A+ goes to A), ( B- to B) and (GRND to GRND). but since the board seems to be different I just wanted to confirm.
your help would be super appreciated.

Here are some pictures:



Thanks
