    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    I'm wondering whether Jandy/Zodiac have discontinued the RS 7620 serial adapter - I cannot find it on their main site, and the only PDF user guide I can find online seems out of date, compared to the paper version that came with my unit. So I'm in the odd old-school situation of actually using...

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    I'm thinking you're right. But because the iAqualink is a complete black box, it seems like I can't be completely sure whether (1) the iAqualink device is still invoking the scheduled commands locally (which it does dutifully even when it loses its cloud connection) or (2) whether the iAqualink...

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    Wow - thanks, that's great to know. I'm watching closely to be sure, but I had been (rightly) more concerned about bugs in my own code and will be for a while. What you're saying could save me a lot of headaches trying to diagnose a shutdown! One interesting thing I noticed - back in the good...

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    making good progress with the 7620. I can't figure out how to get the RPM and Watts of the pump - that was something that shows in iaqualink, the web version, on the status screen. Other than that, I think it's all there (and maybe I just haven't found those yet), including the settings and...

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    That looks awesome - I downloaded it. edit: my 7620 arrived today, so I guess I'll just use that ($430) part to connect my raspberry pi to the RS board instead of the ($7) part that you would use with Aqualinkd - haha. I actually did it already - I ran some 4 wire alarm cable through an...

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    Yeah - I spoke too soon - the website is down for me. This is really out of control. If I was getting one of these installed right now, I would definitely be asking my installer to consider other options.

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    great pic -- iaqualink is still working here - yay When it comes to connectivity issues, I had said that I never really had any before this incident, but I just remembered a time when iaqualink was cutting in and out a lot for me (but nobody else), and what it turned out to be was that one of...

    Mine has been connected via ethernet from the beginning. Until now, connection issues were pretty rare.

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    still down Let me invert the question that is the topic of the thread: is iAqualink working for anyone? Their message makes it sound like maybe only some of their customers are affected.

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    My (home grown) home automation system has its own scheduler function that works very well. If I manage to replace iaqualink with something that I can actually control, I'll just use that for the schedules. true enough. well, iAqualink may not be alone, but it's definitely toward the back of...

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    Yes - the way my pool was installed, if my internet connection is down, then the only way I have to control the pool is with the main panel in service mode. The installer never mentioned the possibility of adding additional controls, and I didn't know to ask about it. Once I realized that, it...

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    you bet - I also saw something called Autelis which is cheaper and looks like it has a higher level interface, so that might be the way to go. I'll check back in. I hope iaqualink comes back up before these things get shipped here and I have them up and running.

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    I looked again - they make a serial port adapter called the Jandy 7620 - kind of pricey for something like that I think but whatever. Also, looks like it has to be located indoors (!) and you have to figure out how to get a less-than-25-foot serial cable run between it and the main control...

    Ah - I see - so nothing else that can be controlled from a computer / network?

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    I tried calling their support number, but it says it's after their business hours. Their website has a (very detailed) form you can fill out and request a response that you can expect within 24 hours. I didn't bother with that since it's obviously something bigger than just me - I was merely...

    iAquaLink still down for anyone?

    I agree - very frustrating. My wife and daughter want to use the spa, and they blame me for this because I'm the techie in the family (they're starting to understand that it's out of my control, but that doesn't make them any less angry, and I'm still a convenient target - lol). I don't...

    and I had a bookmark to the control screen that seems like it's no longer valid - getting a 404. It's like they're re-arranging things. I reset/rebooted my iAqualink device and that didn't seem to help

    I can't get in through the app. On the laptop, it looks like it's going to work, but I never get past the "Waiting for connection..." splash screen

    filling up new pool for the first time

    Hey everybody - I'm really excited - finally putting water in my new pool. I made a note of the number of gallons shown on my water meter right before we started filling, and I'll check again when it's full to get a measurement of how much water is in the pool (and then again for the spa, I...

    wet edge satin matrix pool vs spa question - texture

    We're moving into the plaster stage of construction of our new pool next, and we will also have a spa. We've signed up for Satin Matrix from Wet Edge for the whole thing. We're pretty sure we will like the texture of the Satin Matrix for the pool. My question is this - should we try to get a...

    supernewb - texas

    Hey everybody - just an introductory post. I'm getting a pool installed - much of the work has been done, but it's not complete - tile and coping haven't been done yet, for instance. Seems like whenever I do a google search to find information about what concerns me, I get links to this forum...
