Nice project! I have a Pentair variable speed pump and an Intelli-chlor SWG. However, I didn't want to spend the $$$$ on a controller, so I have a particle photon that is connected to the RS485 bus to control the pump and SWG. I also have a waterfall that can be enabled by turning a valve with the pump running. I also have a generic LED pool light that can change modes by toggling the power through a set of patterns. And finally, I haven i2c ORP and PH probes setup with a peristaltic pump to inject muratic acid based upon the Ph level. I have several switches setup in home assistant that allow for the pool light, pump and waterfall to be turned on and off. I further have the PH and ORP levels graphed. Finally, I have a text sensor that reads the remaining acid level in the tank. |

The house came with the pool equipment, so depending how you look at it, it
was free or very pricey.

Wow, impressive effort! Curious if you have a rough estimate of the hours you've put into it? I also bought a house with an existing Pentair system. Some recent time off led to a bunch of custom code running on an old Beaglebone. I spent a couple of days on it and didn't get as far as you before getting distracted. Eager to get rid of it and replace with OPNpool. |

This was not a project that I tracked hours for. It started just to trigger the kids' interest in embedded system. Introduced them to hardware toys like a scope, and a simple logic analyzer and moved onto more advanced debugger such as JTAG. |
