The temp do not show, where did I go wrong?

What kind of system do you have? I have an EasyTouch 2.8 which has temperature sensors. Maybe you donā€™t?

Check the ā€˜hamburgerā€™ menu on upper left for system. Mine shows:

I have an easytouch 4, but I donā€™t have that option in system menu. On the panel itself, I have air temp and water temp.

Looks like it is not configured correctly. I would double check you followed the installation steps here: https://github.com/tagyoureit/nodejs-poolController

Also will get better suggestions for troubleshooting there.

Good afternoon,

Hopefully this is the right place for this question.

I installed the nodejs pool controller on a virtual instance of Linux mint. I have home assistant running virtually as well (nodejspc_ha). I have selected nixie single body.

I have an Aqua-rite t9 chlorinator. I installed the elfin ee11 inside the enclosure of the aquarite. I have successful communication with Homeassistant to the aquarite as far as reading salt level etc. Homeassistant can also control the aqua-rite and read settings.

What I am having trouble achieving is reading the current pool temperature from the Hayward Aqua-rite. I was hoping to use the aqua-rite temp sensor to report itā€™s temp to the nodejs pool
Controller.

If someone could please point me in the right direction. Iā€™m assuming there is probably a configuration file that I have to change to query the temperature from the aqua-rite salt water generator.

Thank you,

Ryan

I donā€™t believe you can extract the temperature from the aqua-rite unfortunately.

Ok thank you.

I think Iā€™ll have to use an esp32.

I was thinking of using an esp32 to read the pressure from my filter, control a relay to turn my heater on and off and I will add a temperature probe for the water temp.

68

Iā€™ve added an esp32 on esphome, controlled by home assistant. The esp32 has a gpio that controls a relay, connected to the remote control interface of my pool furnace.

I have a temperature probe installed on the esp32 to monitor the water temperature. I have also added a pressure sensor for my filters.

Is it possible to have nodejs pool controller display the temp of the water on its interface and also control the gpio?

Thank you
