[New Addon] Pentair Screenlogic

osufnl499 · May 6, 2020, 3:33pm

Any luck getting this figured out? I seem to be having the same issue. It connects to the MQTT server and I copied the switches and sensors into my yaml, but nothing shows. When I look around in my SMB share I don’t see a Pentair folder in custom components. Should I have a folder in there?

bwoodworth · May 6, 2020, 3:53pm

@osufnl499 You won’t see a folder in custom_components because this is not a component/integration. It is an addon.

@farberm It sounds like there is a still an issue with your MQTT broker. Can you use an MQTT snooper app to see if there is any traffic being sent back and forth?

osufnl499 · May 6, 2020, 4:27pm

Ok I figured it out. I use MQTT explorer and see the values updating. The documentation shows a leading “/” under each sensor (/pentair/pooltemp/state) but when it reports it doesn’t have the leading /. I updated all the sensors and now I can see them in HA, but can’t figure out how to control anything from HA or MQTT explorer. For example:

“pentair/heater/pool/mode/state = off” in MQTT explorer. If I change it to on (raw) and publish it, it changes it for a second then goes back to off.

bwoodworth · May 6, 2020, 5:02pm

What documentation are your referring to?

Do you see an thermostat device in the UI?

The valid values for pentair/heater/pool/mode/state are ‘off’ and ‘heat’.

Brian:

Thanks for your help. I do not see that there is any communication to the MQTT broker. I am running MQTT on my Synology via Mosquitto. I have usernames and password enabled on the broker and I can connect via another client that I use for my house generator.

I have tried installer the MQTT broker thru integration and also via just adding the following to my config file
mqtt:
broker: mqttserver ip
username: mqttusername
password: mqttpassword

Both give the same result.

Do I need to be doing something else to my config.yaml.
My guess is that this may have to do with username and password issues but I am not sure what the issue is.

When I have MQTT explorer running I do not see any communication for subscribe from pentair.

Of note I am running Cassio on my Synology which is also running Mosquitto. I did not think that should be the issue.

Also: Why does the configuration have ‘1883’ in quotes?

bwoodworth · May 6, 2020, 7:09pm

You can test your Home Assistant -> MQTT connection by creating a simple switch in your configuration.yaml:

switch:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Test Switch"
    command_topic: testswitch/command
    state_topic: testswitch/state

Then when you toggle that switch on the front end you should see the traffic on your MQTT broker if you have everything set up properly. You will need to restart Home Assistant after adding the switch to your config before it will show up.

farberm · May 6, 2020, 7:57pm

So I just tested my pentair spa switch. When I click on it I see pentair show up in the subscribe section on MQTT Explorer. I am not getting any values for spa temp pool temp items etc. Why would that be. I have also included and config.yaml.

Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)

default_config:

Uncomment this if you are using SSL/TLS, running in Docker container, etc.

http:

base_url: example.duckdns.org:8123

Text to speech

tts:

platform: google_translate

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

frontend:
themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

mqtt:
broker: 192.168.2.113
port: 1883
username: mqttusername
password: mqttpassword
discovery: true

You can create more switches for other circuits in you pool controller (lights, jets, cleaner, etc.)

Just use the same convention and change the circuit ID

switch:

platform: mqtt
name: pentair_pool
command_topic: pentair/circuit/505/command
state_topic: pentair/circuit/505/state
platform: mqtt
name: pentair_spa
command_topic: pentair/circuit/500/command
state_topic: pentair/circuit/500/state
platform: mqtt
name: testswitch
command_topic: testswitch/command
state_topic: testswitch/state

If you want to set up a thermostat device in HA to control the heater on your pool or spa

climate:

platform: mqtt
name: “Pool”
min_temp: 40
max_temp: 104
modes:
- “off”
- “heat”
  current_temperature_topic: pentair/pooltemp/state
  action_topic: pentair/circuit/505/state
  mode_command_topic: pentair/heater/pool/mode/set
  mode_state_topic: pentair/heater/pool/mode/state
  temperature_command_topic: pentair/heater/pool/temperature/set
  temperature_state_topic: pentair/heater/pool/setpoint/state
platform: mqtt
name: “Spa”
min_temp: 40
max_temp: 104
modes:
- “off”
- “heat”
  current_temperature_topic: pentair/spatemp/state
  action_topic: pentair/circuit/500/state
  mode_command_topic: pentair/heater/spa/mode/set
  mode_state_topic: pentair/heater/spa/mode/state
  temperature_command_topic: pentair/heater/spa/temperature/set
  temperature_state_topic: pentair/heater/spa/setpoint/state

sensors to contain the values from ScreenLogic. If you are using the thermostat config from above you can probably skip the pooltemp and spatemp

sensor:

platform: mqtt
name: pentair_pooltemp
state_topic: pentair/pooltemp/state
platform: mqtt
name: pentair_spatemp
state_topic: pentair/spatemp/state

When you start the Pentair Addon what do you see in the addon log?

farberm · May 6, 2020, 8:25pm

The log shows all the correct values from the pentair screen logic. Am I setting up something wrong on my Overview cards?

That looks good. Your connection to ScreenLogic is working. Double check your Addon config has the proper MQTT info?

osufnl499 · May 7, 2020, 1:55am

Welp I’m an idiot haha. I got it working now. I clicked on the first link in your first post where you gave credit to krk628 and that was my problem. Anyway, everything is up and running. Thanks for making this and thanks for the help.

farberm · May 7, 2020, 2:44am

Brian:

Yes I have installed the MQTT integration and set its setting to the same username and password and in your addon.

I am fairly new to HASS so I may be doing something wrong on my card setup. When I look at configuration entities all the pentair items do not have a unique ID and the pencil icon has a line thru it this setting cannot be managed. This may be normal.

When I set up a history graph for something like Calcium ORP, or pH, I look at the editor and it is as follows:
Entities:

entity: sensor.pentair_orp
hours_to_show: 24
refresh_interval: 0
title: Pool ORP
type: history-graph

Is there something wrong with how I set this up or am I doing something Ellie wrong as a noob.

Thanks again.

I rechecked and when I click on pool switch I do see the topic show up on the MQTT Explorer

My MQTT broker is run on my Synology NAS and not part of my HASS setup cuz I use it for my generator, It is located on the same machine and I am using it static in address, The NAS is also running HASS in a docker setup. I do not think that should matter. I do not see all the topic show up on the MQTT Explorer only the switch topic after I click on the switch.

farberm · May 7, 2020, 9:10pm

Brian:

I have reinstalled everything as follows…

I installed your add-on, the mqtt broker add-on and the MQTT integration. I inserted the username and password created after MQTT broker add-on installed into your config. I set Ip address of screenlogic adapter. Based upon the MQTT broker log below, I am definitely connecting.

I think based upon the Pentair Log that the Error: Connection refused is from the screenlogic adapter? Is that correct? I connect to the screenlogic device immediately but then after the first connection it dis-connects. Is that what this log is showing? If so would that account for not seeing data on the Overview --cards?

Screen Shot 2020-05-07 at 5.09.30 PM
If that is the case how do I determine the cause?

My pool system is Intellitouch i10+3d Firmware 1.170
Adapter 5.2 Build 738.0 Rel
Remote access set to no password

Thanks again for your help.

It looks to me like the MQTT connection is not working. I don’t think it would connect successfully to ScreenLogic once and then fail.

The addon doesn’t connect to the MQTT broker until after it connects to the ScreenLogic and output all the initial values.

What does your MQTT broker addon config look like?

osufnl499 · May 7, 2020, 10:07pm

Did you ever get the light part working?

farberm · May 8, 2020, 12:54am

This is my config for MQTT Broker:

logins: []
anonymous: false
customize:
active: false
folder: mosquitto
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
require_certificate: false

This is my config for pentair:

MQTT_server: 127.0.0.1
MQTT_port: ‘1883’
MQTT_user: mqtt
MQTT_password: mqtt
ScreenLogic_server: 192.168.2.21

I created a user: username: mqtt, password: mqtt

Is there something else I should be adding somewhere?

bwoodworth · May 8, 2020, 3:05am

Try the actual IP address of your Hass server. 127.0.0.1 might not work since they are in containers.

bwoodworth · May 8, 2020, 3:07am

@osufnl499 I haven’t had a chance to figure out colors yet.
