So got everything in yesterday, got all the plumbing done and no leaks! That was way beyond my skill set but am happy so far its all good. Added all the salt in batches late yesterday so, getting close. In trying to connect the communications between the SWG power supply and my Easy Touch...

Sooooo just our of courisity… how much salt to add to a 14K gallon pool? Guessing this is part art and part science…. but would be a good amount to start with ?

Super! Thanks for your speedy reply and expert advice.

So I’m getting ready to convert to salt water. I have a Pentair Easy Touch 520538, but does’t have the ‘guts’ for the SWG. I’m assuming/ hoping the missing parts will be trivial to install and get up and running. I’ve got the EasyTouch connected to a Raspberry Pi, so really want to get the...

So I've been using this software for a few years now, and really haven't updated either the Pi or this software. Now, it seems as if I can't manage the heater from the web page anymore. I could be dreaming, but I seem to recall being able to change the heater temp as well as turn it on and off...

I ALMOST think I know how to do that! Thanks for the info.....

Hey Folks. I only use my Pi for the pool control setup outlined here, and for my home generator as well. Otherwise, the Pi just sits and does it stuff 24/7 without any help from me. I do occasionally log in and update the software, which I did recently, and now when I try to use the pool...

DangIt! Right there where only fools like me could have missed it.

so I had a 220V 2 speed Century Pump connected to a Pantair 2 speed relay. the motor has been replaced but sadly, I didn't make notes of which wire goes where. The relay has these connections listed: Hi Low Com and the 2 speed motor has L1 L2 and A trying to decide/remember which wire goes...

so in my previous install, the apps both built and ran without any intervention on my behalf. Using the rc.local method you suggested isn't working, which I guess means that both apps need to be "rebuilt". I'm assuming this can also be done automatically as well. I did try adding "npm...

got it I'll be out for the evening, but will try later or tomorrow. Again. THANK YOU for your help.

FIRST.. Thank you for taking time to help me with this. I realize this is probably an almost never ending, thankless job, so I do appreciate your taking time to assist. Ok so I started all over. Re-did the SD card, and all the software, but am still unable to get this to work. properly...

I just realized I may have made an early elementary error. Think I'm going to start over.... will keep you posted. Please stand by.....

so am now getting an Error: General Error

Hey hope this isn't a duplicate post. I can now see the web server, but have the "Unknown Model" at the top with the Connections dialog, and I assume the PI IP address:4200 should go there... Here is the output of the Console:

Progress: Here is what's in Termianal, AND I can now see the web server, but have the "unknown Model" at the top, and the connections dialog, which I assume should be the IP address of the PI

Thank you so much for your reply. Not connected keyboard or monitor, but thru VNC. Very familiar with the right URL as my router hands out the same IP address to my PI now as before, and am using the IP to connect via VNC. Not sure about the PM2 question.. as not sure what/where that is...

So I used this tutorial last year and all worked just great. For a few reasons, I've needed to start over and re-install the software. I've started with a fresh RPI install, and have followed the instructions outlined here. One note is under step C-5, (the (curl...) command, when prompted to...

Last Update: SUCCESS For too much of not RTFM on my behalf. What I wasn't doing was allowing the control server time to spin up and work, but once I realized I needed to wait for that to happen, everything else fell into place. I haven't yet installed VNC just yet, but will soon. This has...

OH. and this is in the Terminal if any of this info helps:

So lots of progress. I now can access the webpage, but at the top, it says "Not Connected". When I click on the three bars in the upper left, I get the "Settings" popup, with the server set to http://127.0.0.1:4200, which I think is correct. But if I click on the "Find Server" icon, I get the...

Again thanks for your hep. I ran the node.js install and all your command lines successfully, I had to quit the terminal and re-open it, and have gone back to the Pool Controller-dash panel directoy, and ran both of the NPM commands, but still can't get the web page to come up. Here is the...

Hey there.. Thnaks for your help. Right after I hit the POST button, I did some more research, and was removed the node, nodejs and npm modules... and was able to install what I think were/are the right ones: node -v returns 12.22.12 npm -v returns 6.14.16 BUT... nodejs -v returns command not...

So I'm trying to get my EasyTouch working with my Raspberry Pi, but I am stuck. I've actually re-installed the OS, and have done all the updates mentioned here. When it comes time for the first Curl command, I get an error message: "Node-RED v2.x no longer supports Nodejs 10" so I take it to...

Thank you for your suggestions. In the end, all's well. Since the pump was able to run in slow speed, I disconnected the capacitor just to see what would happen, and it would not start up, even in slow speed. So that tells me the capacitor was working just fine. I just let it run on slow for...

So during a very heavy rain event, the main pump was partially submerged in rain water. It tripped the breaker, and I thought I'd let it dry out, and this morning used compressed air to see if I could dry it more. As soon as I trip the breaker, it runs for a split second, then the breaker...
