Guessing its a certificate issue. I get this on their API: https://api.poolmathapp.com/ failed with [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired All good. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Thanks. I wasn't clear what the actual factor was in decreasing TA. THe acid addition or the aeration/natural climb. Got it. Thanks.

To expedite the TA decreases, can I add acid to drop the TA *and* add baking soda at the same time? I understand Soda will neutralize the Acid and raise the pH again (which is the goal) but is that actually counter productive? Do I need to only aearate to bring that pH up in order to lower the TA?

It may be just the plaster cure. I'll need to wait to worry about this and deal with it. I'll try re-dropping TA again to 50-60. It will just rise again with fill water but I really need to get away from the 'every 2-3 day add of Muratic'. I can't sustain that schedule. I'll just try to...

Hello. My latest test results are in my signature. My fill water has a TA of 70 and pH of 7.8. I'm currently having to add acid every 3 days to bring my pH down to 7.6 from a rise to 8. That seems excessive to me. I've attempted to add borates to help control this. My question specifically...

I'm sure it was. The existing pentair home assistant integration was reversed using the web. The calls via the web based exactly matched the screenlogic device so it was relatively easy. You would think so. But I think people like you and I are a minority.

It certainly would be nice to have a $50 unit replace it. These people created similar I believe: http://www.store.controlworks.com/Modules/Product.aspx?pid=3118

BTW, if you don't want to delve into Home Assistant and want to write your own, this would work: https://github.com/parnic/node-screenlogic Frankly though, The easyness of Home Assistant to make VERY complex automations and dashboards is better than writing it your own. But you can...

I use a raspberry pi running Home Assistant OS. Its so cheap. $100 and done. If you do this though, i'd highly recommend you move to a USB device that is actually solid state rather than a cheap flash module repackaged into USB. SD Cards fail way too often. Something like this: Drive...

I don't mind. Home Assistant has two integration options. I'm using the inbuilt one that became available last year I believe: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/screenlogic Yes i can extract all of that. The sensors they created are decent and have...

No appetite for this? @Leebo

I'd be happy if it were throttled updates. I don't need it often but it would be helpful to be able to push programmatic collected metrics up to poolmath so all my pool data is one place.

Hello All. If there is a better portion of the forum for this, please move this? I have an integration with Home Assistant and Pool Math via its API. I currently have a SWG and pentair integration also within Home Assistant. My question is, is there an API I can use to actually UPDATE pool...

We only lived a couple miles away. Same City water and same average rainfalls. So roughly the same as it is now. From memory, my Pool TA typically stayed around the 90-100 TA (probably the fill water) but when I added the borates, I had it around 80 initially till I gave up lowering it every...

I think that makes sense. I know in my last pool Borates made all the difference but I started that 2 years after being built. It was one of those 'ah ha' moments when I added them. I think I'll wait for a while.
