Yes, it won't surprise me if those get reverse engineered. For what I'm doing so far, it's overkill, since I am just running them to their limits, but they would be nice for something like my fan jets, where the in-between positions matter for trying to get a specific flow rate.

Sounds like an awesome setup! I totally hadn't considered controlling temperature, but it would be easy to do - just set the heater's thermostat to its maximum and turn it on and off as needed to hit the target temperature - that's great! I've been toying with the idea of building a water level...

Thank you, Github is a great tool for releasing code, but I wasn't planning to release mine. Aside from not being keen on the liability potential I'd need to jump through some hoops at work to get it waived from my noncompete. Yes, the Intellivalves look pretty cool. As far as I can tell...

That's the Lovelace UI in Home Assistant. No app, it's a web interface hosted locally on my Home Assistant server (a Raspberry Pi).

Thanks, I used PCBWay.com for the PCBs. Their web site has an easy to use quoting system to give the price up front, then once you place the initial order they review it to give the final price quote for approval and payment (making sure there isn't an issue with the design files that would...

In December, I finally implemented a system I'd been planing off and on since planning our pool build 2 years prior. When we built our pool, the pool builder offered an Intelletouch automation system. I didn't feel it was worth the asking price, and found it lacking in a couple of key features...

Also, to be considered - Home Assistant. It's a free open source home automation platform that is local (though it can also talk to many cloud based systems). Working in industrial automation and having recently built a home (getting pitched on commercial home automation systems costing tens of...

Looks great! I don't have solar heat, but have a gas heater for my spa and am planning to control it, the return and drain valves for the spa and the pump, via an ESP8266 communicating with my home automation server by mqtt. It's really astounding how much less expensive and more flexible this...

Thank you Patrick. I'd already found a parts list on one of their web sites (it seems they have multiple due to how they are distributed) that only listed the while pump assembly with all its fittings, and said that they don't sell it direct - they provided links to their retailers - places like...

First - THANK YOU! My wife and I had an Intex 18'-10' oval pool for a couple of years, and thanks to a pile of knowledge gathered here, it was sparkling and inviting - and clean and good looking enough that when we sold it, we got back almost half what we'd bought it for. For the last year...
