Pool Controller with nodejs-poolController via MQTT

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 don’t?

Check the ā€˜hamburger’ menu on upper left for system. Mine shows:

I have an easytouch 4, but I don’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 it’s temp to the nodejs pool
Controller.

If someone could please point me in the right direction. I’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 don’t believe you can extract the temperature from the aqua-rite unfortunately.

Ok thank you.

I think I’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.

I’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

Hey guys… I’ve been using the Pool Control software for awhile now, and have even messed with MQTT a bit and can get my HA system to turn some stuff on and off… I also have an Intellibrite light installed, and of course can easily change the colors thru the web interface of the poolController. I’ve gotten to the point where I can turn the light on and off via MQTT, but can’t get the payload right for changing the color. I’m ALSO thinking the color change isn’t possible via MQTT(as I don’t see an ā€œidā€:x for this… but if there is an easy payload to change the color, please advise.

You might consider using the integration found here:

Wow. thanks. will give this try…
