HA NeoPool MQTT: integration of Tasmota NeoPool (for Sugar Valley, Hayward/Aquarite, Bayrol devices)

I did that back then according to your guide, not sure now, gotta look at daylight at it.
Just swapped the TX/RX in the config. No change.
Something is clearly broken, need to check the hardware and the sugarvalley settings.

19:35:20.863 CMD: TelePeriod
19:35:20.868 MQT: stat/SmartPool/RESULT = {“TelePeriod”:300}
19:35:21.397 MQT: tele/SmartPool/STATE = {“Time”:“2024-10-21T19:35:21”,“Uptime”:“0T00:08:04”,“UptimeSec”:484,“Heap”:28,“SleepMode”:“Dynamic”,“Sleep”:50,“LoadAvg”:22,“MqttCount”:1,“Wifi”:{“AP”:1,“SSId”:“mywifi”,“BSSId”:“34:81:C4:F8:2E:6C”,“Channel”:11,“Mode”:“11n”,“RSSI”:100,“Signal”:-38,“LinkCount”:1,“Downtime”:“0T00:00:03”}}

This.Check interface and where you connected it on your sugar valley.

Loose wire on the TTL :roll_eyes: :man_facepalming:

yeah finally…
Thanks for your help, both of you and for the incredible work of course!

That looks fantastic. :wink:

You can also enable the Connection Statistics sensors in HA if you want.

I think 1 should be “enable” not disable as reported in docs, correct @curzon01?

Instead I’ll kick out some of the data I am not interested in :smiley:
And add some power consumption data and shelly power outlets I have added to the pool box … thought of some additional temp sensor for the box, I guess that could be added to the ESP8266, I’d like to see if I still get temperatures below 0°C over the year.

EDIT: Just noticed the AUX switches don’t do anything when clicking them, I know the control is a bit laggy but there doesn’t seem to happen anything.

Yes, thx, it’s a typo, just corrected.

Aux switches only works with NeoPool cmnd extension neopoolcmd.be, which is only available having Berry using a ESP32 platform

I see, maybe for the future then. Currently I am using one AUX but there is no need to switch anything during the season, so I guess I can just comment the AUX part out of the menu.

Hello, still having an issue here .
As you see the system time is correct, but the Neopool time is not


any suggestions?

Suggestion for Tasmota config (timezone+DST for Italy and NTP):

Backlog NtpServer1 10.1.10.23; NtpServer2 10.1.10.1; Timezone 99; TimeStd 0,0,10,1,3,60; TimeDst 0,0,3,1,2,120;

Then, as specified in the README on GH repo, you should define a rule to keep the Sugar Valley device clock in sync with Tasmota’s device clock:

Rule1 ON Time#Initialized DO NPTime 0 ENDON ON Time#Set DO NPTime 0 ENDON

Activate the rule:

Backlog Rule1 4;Rule1 1;

That’s it.

10.x.x.x.x might be NTP server within your private/provider network.

Suggestion for NTP: Use country local pool from ntppool.org, e. g. for Italy:

Backlog NTPServer1 0.it.pool.ntp.org;NTPServer2 1.it.pool.ntp.org;NTPServer3 2.it.pool.ntp.org

The server is up to the user, I just wanted to show the commands. In my specific case I use my LAN Stratum1 time server (GPS and PPS disciplined) in LAN, managed with chrony+gpsd that gives me a much better accuracy vs public time servers (nanoseconds vs microseconds).

For public server for Italy, I suggest ntp.inrim.it and ntp2.inrim.it. In general, for all countries I also recommend time.cloudflare.com, it’s a pool, very reliable and fast.

So, for Italy and public servers I recommend:

Backlog NTPServer1 ntp.inrim.it;NTPServer2 ntp2.inrim.it;NTPServer3 time.cloudflare.com

These are the stats of my time server where you can see the difference vs public servers:
