    AQL-PS-8 Remote Emulator App

    I've never tried to unlock it from HA. I just added the logic to my HA repository (you need to import the P4 script if you have a P4). When you're on Configuration Menu-Locked and press the right arrow, it should unlock the menu. You can then right arrow through. It works for me on my P4.

    There's a bunch of different ways to do dashboards. The entities card is going to be limited in positioning. It also won't do buttons (instead of toggle switches), if that what you want to do. I kept mine simple and put it on it own tab called Pool. Here's my YAML code. Go to the top of...

    I replaced parts with text in the debug statement and this is what I see. 2024-06-03 19:33:12.337 DEBUG (Thread-2) [custom_components.aqualogic_p4p8.core] 89456.984: Display update: Monday 7 32P 2024-06-03 19:33:12.872 DEBUG (Thread-2)...

    Yes, it's using your method. My physical display does blink, but I believe it's a fake blink. For example, when I turn on debug, I see this for the Time. 2024-06-03 19:05:59.499 DEBUG (Thread-2) [custom_components.aqualogic_p4p8.core] 87824.145: Display update: ['Monday', '7', '04P', '\x00']...

    I just tried your code and get an error going through settings. It's the same array error I got previously. File "/config/custom_components/aqualogic_p4p8/core.py", line 346, in process value = int(parts[2][:-1]) ~~~~~^^^ IndexError: list index out of range This is where...

    AQL-PS-8 Remote Emulator App

    I have looked at your code yet. I had one issue going through settings, but that was due to an array issue that I put in a patch for. Right now I'm able to go through all the menus, including settings and make any change. I actually haven't touched my control panel in a while. I'll take a...

    AQL-PS-8 Remote Emulator App

    In the HA thread there was someone (amit1) with a P4 that got the "'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xba" error, so I'm not sure what it is. Replacing both does work on my side. Can you check your side? text = frame.replace(b'\xdf', b'\xc2\xb0').replace(b'\xba', b'\xc2\xb0').decode('utf-8') I...

    AQL-PS-8 Remote Emulator App

    It did that because I added code that gives the entities a unique_id. Previous code, the entities were not persistent (and you couldn't change them in the UI), so when you restarted it would add the entities. It should only happen once unless the domain changes again. Another way to clean it...

    Replace that line (302) in core.py with: text = frame.replace(b'\xdf', b'\xc2\xb0').decode('latin-1') I'm not sure why that's happening, but it must have something to do with the environment that you have. Mark had a similar issue.

    AQL-PS-8 Remote Emulator App

    I had a bunch of problems with uncaught exceptions, so I added code to trap them and keep the program running (reconnecting when needed). I started with swilson's latest code and worked forward from there adding in things as I saw them or wanted them. Try my forked version and see if it works...

    AQL-PS-8 Remote Emulator App

    Thanks for the code. I was just coming here to say I did get it to work. I had to comment out the 2 extra "self._append_data(frame, b'\x00')" and use the LOACL instead of the REMOTE. I also commented out where the code looks for the keep alive frame type. I just send the frame now and let...

    There's a couple of people with P4's that have changed the code to support it. I just copied what they did. This seems to be the change. # MOD BEGIN # self._append_data(frame, self.FRAME_TYPE_LOCAL_WIRED_KEY_EVENT) self._append_data(frame...

    I have a P4. So your script is managing all the key presses and timing? Interesting. I wonder if you script is overriding what HA is trying to do? Might need to test without your script and see what happens. I'm not a Python developer, but it looks like a good bit of the code is build...

    Hey Mark, Thanks for creating this app. I have the Android version install and it's works well. I also implemented the Home Assistant version from the thread you referenced. It's working good for reading data, but the switches are not reliable (if they work at all). A lot of people in that...

    Counter top options?

    I'm thinking about building a outdoor island this spring. I've been doing a lot of research, but one area I'm still a little unsure of is the counter top. The island isn't going to be covered, except for maybe in the winter. What are my best options? Basically, I'm looking for something...

    Just bought a house and apparently a swamp!!

    It might be cheaper to just drain and refill the pool. It would certainly be easier. :) Calculate your gallons and then find out the price to fill up. You might be surprised to find it relatively cheap (compared to adding a lot of bleach and running the pump, not even including your time)...

    Solar Pool Cover Question.

    RC Cars?

    Not big into RC cars, but I do like to play around. I have an original RC10 (gold tub) that I've had forever. It has a broken front tie right now, but it still runs great. I also have a 2.5 Rustler Nitro (new model) that's a blast to run. John
