IntelliCenter or NJS PoolController - Track Heater Run Time?

[wgipe]

Morning! First swim is today - finally! I had to heat the pool a fair bit, and it got me to wondering - is there a way to track how many hours the heater runs? I have both an IntelliCenter and NodeJS Pool Controller running.

@rstrouse can NodeJS do this?

If it is a gas heater we track the heater status. When a heatpump is involved there is a call for heat but that does not report actual runtime back to IntelliCenter. So for the MasterTemp yes. It can use the call for heat and plot it to influx for graphing and analysis so you can have the total run time over any period.

That’s great, as I do have a MasterTemp400. Is that a report I’d find somewhere, or would I need to use another application to plot it?

There is an integration with InfluxDB v1 & v2. Then you can graph the data in Grafana. Check out the wikis for assistance. For instance here is my temperature plot. We have opened up Discussions on the repo for further assistance.
