For anyone who has built/installed a bypass for the sensors, how often do you use the valves if ever?
The reason I ask is that my pipes are quite close together and i’d only have about 150mm for the sensors, so I am therefore considering plumbing it in without the valves because they would not fit.
Actually, I found the pool kit for 300EUR so that is reasonable (compared to buying the stuff individually).
Now data is stored at ThingSpeak, presumably for free ( FREE, For small non-commercial projects). And RESTful sensor to read data from Thingspeak tells me how to consume the data in HA. Any drawbacks that I’m missing before I shell out 300EUR?
Ok thanks. My house is still under construction. Hopefully someone will be brave enough to try this before I am ready Otherwise I will give it a try later this year and post here.
I’m pretty confident it’ll work fine via thingspeak, but I’d much rather get it going locally. Having absolutely no experience with ESPhome or Tasmota I don’t even know what the first step would be.
So I’m hoping your house is done being built before winter is over. I’m getting a liner replaced in the spring so it’ll likely be June before I start seriously looking at this.
If there’s a copy/paste config option out there, or a basic guide, you’re right… definitely no issue.
But I haven’t seen that yet, and for someone with absolutely no knowledge on esphome piecing together a working config from various different places can be a challenge. Which is OK too. But then there’s the calibration issue which is apparently too complicated to add to esphome and outside of the scope. And for that I’ve yet to see a solution.
Which involves flashing it with the atlas software and then reflashing it back on a regular basis. Kind of a pain.
Although reading the tasmota documentation it says there that calibration can be easily achieved by issuing the commands from the console and following the instructions in the EZO datasheets. So that route seems more promising, again coming from someone with no experience in either lol
do you have a calculator that gives the free Chlorine values from PH and ORP measurements?
I use the below chart but thats a terrible manual work. I need some calculator.
