Another update. I have everything done and working great! I have full control over the main pump, spa booster, spa air blower, three valves and the heater. Along with the temperature sensors of course. I have two hopefully simple questions: 1. I only have the diodes left to install on both of...

It was about what I expected. Once I got ahold of the Pi it went very smooth. My adventures trying to get it started on a PC were not worth it or or very fun. Lol. I bought every thing just as you put in the wiki. I believe you created that Wiki Tutorial? Down to the ferrule kit. Everything...

I wanted to update this as I did get it figured out. This system has been INCREDIBLE. It has changed my pool from being a complete pain to being almost maintenance free. A little background, my pool gets a ton of tree debris from neighboring houses. I had no way to run the skimmer, vacuum, spa...

OKay I think we are getting somewhere. Even if it means I have some major issues. After running npm i in the REM directory I go this.. So I updated NPM (maybe a mistake) and then started getting this when trying to install REM and finally now when I try to run REM

I submitted my issue with my logs. Unfortunately, another error has arisen, likely from my tinkering. It seems like they would be related but I promise they aren't to my knowledge. *** I MOVED THE FOLLOWING OVER TO THE GITHUB*** but will leave this here if anyone searches it in the future I...

So it's actually stuck in this endless loop trying to connect to the pump. I had to run to work and about 10 hours later it still hasn't connected. I checked the following: Meg BAS 485 Pass thru still on PI settings seem correct I reset the Meg BAS Really stupid question.. But do I need to...

Okay, better screen grab with the whole message. I'm reading this as the port is not open. I'm also working on it, but with about .0001% the knowledge as you!

Yep. Looks like it closes the port and then restarts that error. I got a screen cap of it luckily.

Here is the console log and the Pool Controller RS485 screen \ And I do have the Intelliflo hooked directly to the breaker, it is controlled only via the RS485 connection. I'm looking around in my RPi settings now. SPI = Enable I2C = Enable Serial Port = Enable Serial Console = Disable...

No worries. Thanks. I've had an intermittent Rs485 connection issue. It seems to happen when I restart the RPi. It seems like the update also caused it. It HAS to be something I am doing wrong. Is their an order the pump vs RPi should be turned on? Basically what happens is my pump doesn't...

Wow! Works perfect, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again for all your help! One snag, but I'll get through it. See below, these two valves are so close together that the bodies of the valve actuators wont fit. Unless I can orient one of them another way? From reading the...

Heater is all good. I had to switch the manual switch to "Pool" and max out that thermostat and all seems well. One quick question, is their a high and low limit thermostat style option in Pool Controller. I love how my new heater control is so precise (it cycles on and off within 1 degree F)...

I started getting into hooking up the booster bump and air blower to some relays. I think I am going to redo the electrical panel side of my setup. I've got an electrician friend who is coming by next weekend and then I'll get started on the relays. One question about this.. I want to ditch...

I thought I'd post an update. Everything is mounted out at the pad. I've got the following up and running: 1. Air and water sensors 2. Rs485 control of my main pool pump 3. One Intellivalve up and running perfectly (2 more on order now) Still working on: 1. Two 3hp relays on order for spa...

Got it. Got a test relay up and running and all looks good. Now I just need to catchup on getting some conduit run, get everything into the enclosure and mount it. After that I'll be installing: 1. 3 intellivalves 2. 3hp relay for spa booster pump 3. Connect the heater to a relay Then I'll...

That was it. You are the man. All is working now. I am very thankful for all your help! I'm going to take some time and install the enclosure, run some conduit and get everything in place. I will be back for sure with some questions about getting the relay hat configured. I've got the manuals...

Sounds good. I'll install it. So I did speak too soon. It was late last night when I was finishing up. I'm now officially stuck working on the RS485 comunication. I have attached the Rs485 from my pump to the BAS. I have enabled pass thru in REM. What port do I use in the Pool Controller...

Sounds like I want them. I ordered one as that's all the place I saw had in stock. I will see if I like it and then go for two more. Don't need part overload, right now anyway. However I have progress! Got all my parts today but the enclosure is a few days away of course. I made the following...
