Of course! Maybe if they gave half a ****, (which they clearly don't), they would even read user forums like this to see what their real paying customers actually think is important... I was thinking this too of course but I just can't see a dinosaur corporation like Pentair actually doing it...

@MyAZPool - as ever, thank you for all your hard work on ALL of this IC-based stuff. Regarding RS485 control of Intellivalves here is my read on that... When a product manager is, in Q1 2021 already talking about things 'planned' for Q4 2022 and the thing you care about (Intellivalves) is...

@MyAZPool Plenty of minor issues but I don't want to drown out the only one I really care about and the biggest broken promise / false advertising / confidence killer... RS485 Control of Intellivalves If I had 10 votes I would use them all on this issue. Come on now Pentair, no more excuses...

Re 'doubling up' on the RS485 bus: You can absolutely do this with no problems. RS485 communication is via a 'bus' which means all messages are pushed onto the same cable pair and all components 'hear' all messages. They just choose to ignore the ones that do not concern them. When you use a...

@MyAZPool Fantastic work as ever. A tiny contribution that may be of use to some: Powering the Pi can be done via PoE (Power over Ethernet). There are various 'hats' that mount directly to the Pi that take the power supplied on the RJ45 and use it to power the Pi without the need for USB...

Yes, tried that and MANY other things! I am pretty sure @rstrouse is correct that the broadcast massage is just a beacon to the controller and then the controller must 'handshake' with the valve or at least address it directly in order for it to change it's message. It seems like the...

Hi @MyAZPool and everyone else on this thread. I opened this issue on the NodeJSPoolController project on GitHub. Long story short, one of the main contributors to that project @rstrouse has been doing fantastic work and is closer than anyone, (especially Pentair :LOL:), to getting control of...

Really excellent work, thanks for putting in the time to create this! I think the IC can technically function without a personality kit. Based on my findings from digging around in the API the system can support a total of 26 valve actuators. In order for this to be possible the four expansion...

Hi @kyleaa, we were able to establish a connection with Telnet but my websockets test failed. That's why I was wondering if you had details of how to connect with websockets on 6680 since I know the connection via Telnet on 6681 is good. Thanks!

Hi @kyleaa and @MyAZPool , Sorry for the delay I have a lot going on here at the moment so am not as active on here as I would like to be but wanted to check in and update. As @MyAZPool mentioned, he and I have been working on what I am calling the IntelliCenter Commander. It's really just a...

@MyAZPool, Well I am confused. :confused::scratch: Hopefully @kyleaa will weigh in to save us but in the mean time, lets do some trouble shooting. Lets try the simplest command there is and see if we get a response. Try entering: ping I believe you should receive a response: pong If this...

Quick 'from the hip' idea: Try removing the carriage returns from the command, i.e. make the whole thing one line when you send it. It may be considering the newline as the end of input. {"condition": "SNAME = Lights","objectList": [{"objnam": "ALL","keys": ["OBJNAM", "OBJTYP", "PARENT", "ACT"...

Hi @kyleaa, Glad to see you back! Would you mind looking over my API 'documentation' in post 39. I have the light commands documented along with everything else I could find but since I don't have an IntelliCenter to test against this is all theory. I'm hoping that the reason @MyAZPool was not...

Ah! I think there is a misunderstanding... You need to replace 'xx' with the number of the aux circuit connected to the light, not with the number of on/off cycles. So if your light is connected to Aux Circuit 3 then the commands for one off/on cycle would be...
