Pentair Intelliflo 3 VSF Wifi pump WITHOUT Intellitouch or Screenlogic - Homeassistant integration?

Hello,
I just bought a Pentair Intelliflo 3 VSF pump and do not have a complex automation. Basically the pump is always wired on.
This new pump has a Wifi module and the driver is permanently connected to my home Wifi and I control its schedule or start/stop through the "Pentair Home App" on my iPhone.
Since I can control it on my phone, there should be a way to send commands through Homeassistant to increase the pump speed when I am turning on my cleaner (controlled through a relay connected to a sonoff flashed with tasmota and connected to homeassistant) but I only find Screenlogic or Intellitouch integrations, not the simple Intelliflo pump integration.
Does anyone knows if this exists? I doubt there is an API with the Pentair App, but does someone reverse-engineered the protocol the same way it was done for the other Pentair integrations?
Thank you for any help!
 
Welcome to TFP.

All IntelliFlo pumps use the same basic RS-485 protocol.

Look at what nodejs-poolcontroller can do.

Thank you for the reply, but the way I understand it, poolController requires a physical rs485 connection with the device, through the serial port of the pump. Since this pump is already connected to the wifi and receives instructions from the iPhone app, there should be a way to integrate without physically connecting on the pump
