Does HA alert you if there is loss of power? My Eero network will alert me if the internet is down. I also get an alert from my Nest camera is offline.
concencius on another thread was it was better for the pump to run 24x7 then to have it turn off and on throughout the day. Just trying to get the most life out of it.
HA doesn't specifically but I could in theory set it up to but in my eyes if the power goes out then internet goes out. I have HA on a UPS but not the internet equipment right now.
I ordered the adapter and will try it. Just an FYI ordered it from aliexpress as it was half the price and quicker shipping timeI had this running for a while in Central Florida without issue. I was using AqualinkD. I took it offline because AqualinkD somehow interferes with the timing of the lighting selection, causing the lights to reset back to white.
There also has been discussion on the GitHub Issues page about success with an RS485/WiFi adapter, and it also looks like someone has it as a Docker container and Home Assistant add-on:
Got working with EW-11 wireless device! · Issue #300 · aqualinkd/AqualinkD
So, for ease of use, had to make the Dockerfile pull the aqualinkd-docker.cmd and aqualinkd.conf from my local repo for easier builds, and added at the bottom of the aqualinkd-docker.cmd the follow...github.com
Here's the adapter:
The other thing I would like to do with AqualinkD if I can is speed up the pump for water features in a single button in HA. I think this may be an option but more to come. The dongle came today but I'm traveling until tomorrow night so hoping to have first round of testing done on Thursday. I already spun up the container stand alone and the one built for HA. Plan on doing all the configs on the stand alone and then moving it over to the HA integrated one.
My adapter arrived last week, I'm hoping to get it installed this week.
I ordered the adapter without the larger antenna so it's not really working yet. I am going to be about another week out before I get the new one. Also when I do have the adapter working with my home network I'm still not getting aquallinkd working right, it reads the panel but I'm having issues controlling the equipment.
Just to follow back up here. I ended up bailing on the EW11 adapter because in my configuration it was causing some issues. I ended up putting aqualinkd on a raspberry pi zero w and it's working pretty much flawlessly. I highly recommend this if someone is looking for a cloud free solution.
2 lighting circuits, one for the pool and one for the spa. The lights are Jandy LED's
Have you had any issue with selecting lighting programs? This has been my problem with aqualinkD. Something is interfering with the timing of the relay cycling, so it will cause the program selection to reset back to white in the middle of a change. If it's working for you, which mode are you using for light_programming_mode and button_xx_lightMode?
Working fine for me. See below:
