@Telemachus Good to know! Seems like they are quite resilient then and difficult to brick. I come from a background of flashing NXP chips where the wrong configuration, power loss, etc. can brick your very expensive chip. Though, most of my experience was around flashing bootloaders &...

Success! After a long winter and many other delays, I have successfully upgraded the firmware of my ET! More than a year later but it's done. I went from 2.10 right to 2.19. I used @Telemachus 's methods and it worked flawlessly! I figured I would document my exact process for anyone else who...

Looks like they replaced the installer with a batch file to create the PE Micro directories and copy over the files in the zip. More specifically one each for the cfg/s19 files and one with batch files for USBMultilink. Nice to see Windows 10 support added to the batch files. "DOUBLE CLICK ME"...

When I go to settings->Circuit Names I can set Aux 6 for example to the name "Spa Light" in the long list of options. However, when I go Circuit Functions and change Aux 6 from generic I don't see spa light, just SAM/SAL. intellibright and some others. I think that's fine though so looks like...

Yeah, that would be great! Just as a follow up while I am playing around with the programming right now, are there any tell-tale signs that the Spa controls and features are unlocked?

Yeah sure! It is actually the date that the firmware was released, took a bit of searching on the Wayback Machine lol. Here it is: https://www.pentair.com/content/dam/extranet/pentair-pool/residential/software-firmware/intellitouch-easytouch-easytouchlite-firmware-6.12.19.zip

Thank you! Yeah, I'm not sure I do. What is one distinctive feature that is enabled with the spa? To be honest, I'm still an ET programming noob but I see 8 feature circuits and when I click the valve button it turns the filter pump and heater on. Does that indicate spa mode or is there a...

It took some communication between me and a potential seller regarding international shipping but I might have found some on eBay. Sourcing the relays through Mouser and cables through Aliexpress is about $20 cheaper but I would rather just buy the OEM part from eBay than build it myself just...

Sorry for the late reply, I have been doing a bunch of research/testing and have some updates. First of all, I removed the board and brought it inside to my bench (Just prefer soldering at my bench) and soldering on R41 and R42. Ran a Self-Test and the board now reports that it is an EasyTouch...

Found some good sources for the Relays. Mouser sells the Omron relays for $23CAD each without the wire harness. Link Someone on the forums recommended this wire harness from Pololu that has the JST XH Header but I also found a pack on Aliexpress here. Crimp-on ring or fork connectors for the...

Yeah, no worries I can order them for cheap. Just wanted to make sure those are the ones. Awesome I do see that in your write-up now! Thank you for doing that. So is the overall process for USBDM flashing as follows: 1. Make USBDM Ribbon to JST Connector cable 2. Prep the s19 hex files for...

Thanks for the link! I need to run CAT6 anyways for my TV and camera so it was just convenient enough to add a line for the Pi. My core switch is PoE so if I decided to grab a PoE Hat the pi is self-contained. I will look at the zero W though, thanks for the tip. Looking at the product now I...

Thanks for the info! I haven't got my njs-pC installed yet (running conduit with CAT6 from the house to the pi this weekend) but I will have to see how it handles my Superflo VS. Version 7.01 which was just released adds specific support for the Superflo VS. If you don't mind, what kind of...

Thanks for the release notes Jerry. Strange that you cannot download the 2.18 FW right now. Looks like there has been quite a lot of changes since my FW version.. Considering doing the update just for degrees C changes seeing I'm in Canada. My only fear is that I will brick the board and then...

Awesome!! This is such good news, I'm glad this option exists. Just mentioned firmware on another thread but glad to know I can probably avoid an update. Maybe my superflo pump won't be AS useless now that I can have 9 relays in a ET4P system lol. Thanks for the tip. I'm looking at the OEM...

Is there any big reason to upgrade the board's firmware? I'm running 2.10 and considering an upgrade if I order a USBDM. I don't have a wireless controller or indoor remote/screen logic. Planning to use nodejs-poolController for my control away from the pad. Does 2.18 add and big changes vs...

Hey all, Just stumbled across this thread after getting ready to finally integrate my easy touch after owning the pool for 5 years... oops. When I was a noob to all of this I went out and bought a Superflo VS only to realize now it basically becomes a 4-speed pump since it needs a relay for...

Okay great, good to know that I can use the transformer in 120v mode without a problem! Now comes the next issue lol, as i just posted a minute before you did I did end up wiring the transformer for 120v (Black to CB, and Violet to the buss). After doing this still had no power to the system...

I am gonna have to call it quits for today but I tested one more thing I thought that the reason i may not be getting power is because the transformer was wired for 220v but I was only supplying it with 120v from a 120v circut breaker as Jim mentioned. Even though i have not found out if i...
