PoolSync (Pool Heat Pump) Integration

Configuration
21

This is fantastic information,I have discovered two other modes for the Aquacal T135R
mode 2 COOL
mode 3 AUTO

How would I go about adding these to the value template in the Pool Heater mode sensor in my configuration.yaml?

fwiw, I was never able to get remote ssh working to capture the authorization and user values. I ended up using “Network Sniffer” app on my iPhone

As I get further into this, it seems that the PoolSync controller becomes unresponsive after some time. I can power cycle and it becomes available again. Using curl - “(56) Recv failure: connection was reset”
All sensors show unavailable in HA. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

changing the value_template was easier than I imagined:

{% if value_json['devices']['0']['config'].mode == 1 and value_json['devices']['0']['config'].poolSpaMode == 0 %}
            Heat Pool
          {% elif value_json['devices']['0']['config'].mode == 2 and value_json['devices']['0']['config'].poolSpaMode == 0 %}
            Cool Pool
          {% elif value_json['devices']['0']['config'].mode == 3 and value_json['devices']['0']['config'].poolSpaMode == 0 %}
            Auto Pool
          {% elif value_json['devices']['0']['config'].mode == 1 and value_json['devices']['0']['config'].poolSpaMode == 1 %}
            Heat Spa
          {% else %}
            Off
        {% endif %}

Looks like someone has figured out control for a salt generator through poolsync. Would anyone be able to build this out to cover heat pumps / chillers too?

Thanks for this! I may get the PoolSync since it is a local API. I asked company for modbus protocol, doubt they will give it to me.

Fork of above for Heater created. It reads heater value and sets the pool temperature. Takes some extra configuration. I will do a PR to main repo after I fix a few more things.

In case did not see edits to above post, my fork supports heaters and has been stable for a few days. https://github.com/jdeath/AP_PoolSync

Only pool mode (not spa) for now and requires some extra editing of code if have both heater and chlorinator. Get some drop outs, but it eventually reconnects. Review the readme for instructions and how to setup templates for easier use.

I did a PR to the original repo, but owner has not accepted yet.
