Circupool/Calimar/Black and Decker variable speed pump integration

Hardware
1

I’m looking at a new variable speed pump/filter. Circupool/Calimar/Black and Decker all seem based on the same pump (people looked up the Energy Star info).

The “automation adapter” is just a few relay lines for presets and nothing else.
The pump controller can show speed, power etc and have schedules programmed.

I haven’t seen anything on how to access anything more advanced, maybe through serial or modbus. Maybe someone has looked inside the controller already.

me too, i just got the automation adapter but it actually seems quite dumb…i was hoping for an RS485 int…anyone else?

I’m also looking for a way to integrate Circupool Salt Water Generator (Chlorinator) to HA. I have one installed, I remember I red somewhere there should be an RS485, but couldn’t find any indications in the user manual. I may disconnect it and open it up if anybody willing to help…

Did you ever get anywhere with this? Looking to do the same with the SWG…

Any updates on your integration, I just ordered the adapter and plan on using ESPHome to control the relays.
Update: I have mine up and running using an ESP32-S3, I also wired in a temp sensor and a digital presure sensor for my filter. No relays required, the esp32 just needs to act like a momentary switch.

please would you like to be a little more specific in your implementation like pump type connection between esp32 board and pump
would be really appreciated
best regards
