Does anyone know if the screenlogic integration works if a password is enabled on the device? I’ve always had a password-less device and I still do but it looks like the newer pentair screenlogic app (which I try not to use lol) is forcing to implement a password in order to use it now. I didn’t see any reference to a password in the code so figured i’d ask.
The screenlogic integration does not use a password, however local connections do not need to use one. You should be able to set a password in the ScreenLogic app for remote access without it affecting the integration.

@dieselRabbit What is the future of this integration as Pentair transitions users to Pentair Home instead of Screen Logic (the IOS app hasn’t had any development since 2018 other than a couple of bug fix releases). All the Pentair effort now seems to be in the Pentair Home app (their new infrastructure) and they added ScreenLogic support in Feb 2024 and it looks like they are pushing users into the Home app (according to chatter I see online). I’m just switching to Pentair equipment and trying to plan my HA integration. Thanks for any insight
As long as the protocol by which ScreenLogic adapters use to communicate remains the same, the integration should continue to function. There have been no firmware updates to the ScreenLogic system since 2019, so my assumption is any newly added support for ScreenLogic in Pentair Home was done on the app-side, and not the ScreenLogic side.
Based on what I can gather from the Pentair website, ScreenLogic remains available as an add-on, primarily for EasyTouch and IntelliTouch systems while Pentair Home is geared around supporting IntelliCenter systems.
Is there any way to see if the outdoor panel is in service mode from the integration? Not looking to control it just looking for visibility. I know the ScreenLogic adapter communicates that info, but I can’t figure out how to get it to display in Home Assistant.
Thanks!
The data exists from the API, but the integration doesn’t create an entity for it currently. It wouldn’t be hard to add, but I don’t know that I’d be able to get to it any time soon.
Thank you for the reply. Whenever you’re able to get to it, it would be greatly appreciated!
I am ultimately looking to create an automation that if service mode is left on, I get a notification. We use this at a rental property and make the renters interact with Home Assistant instead of the Pentair interface, as we had renters figure out how to reprogram the pentair controller and cause issues. The reason I’m looking for this information is occasionally our pool maintenance company forgets to turn off Service mode after a cleaning and I get phone calls from the renter saying they can’t turn on the lights etc.
Probably realistically around the end of the year.
One workaround would be to set up an automation that notifies you if a circuit is not on when it should be, as Service mode disables all circuits. ie. The filter pump or lights are not on when you know they are scheduled to be.
Of course this only works if you have at least one circuit that is supposed to be on whenever the pool is available.
Thank you! If you’re able to get it done by the March release, I will be thrilled.
Great thought on circuits running as a test condition.
