How can I get the names of all of the circuits?

[ColtonIdle]

So I've been digging into this library a lot. and it seems like with

you can get a list of basically everything attached to your system... + it's state (on/off) via getEquipmentStateAsync.circuitArray

What I want to do is actually get the names of all of those items from the above list. It seems like you can retrieve names in general via getAllCircuitNamesAsync, but that just gives you a list of names that are available to be set as a circuit/feature name. kinda like a dictionary.

Does anyone know how I'm suppose to map getEquipmentStateAsync.circuitArray to getAllCircuitNamesAsync
? Am I understanding that correctly?

It's been a while since I've messed with this, and my pool equipment is temporarily broken at the moment, but if I recall correctly the circuits in the array are ordered the same as the order of the names from getCircuitNamesAsync. So if you're trying to match a circuit to a name, you'd use the same index.

Does that help?

Hm. So the circuit array gives me about 20 items.

Let me try getCircuitNamesAsync. I was trying getAll*CircuitNamesAsync and was getting a huge alphabetical list of all possible names that you could assign to a circuit.

Ah, yeah, that method isn't documented and is only in there because we could (as in: the message exists and the system will respond to it).

You'll probably need v2.1.1 of the library for getCircuitNamesAsync as it was not working for me when I tried it while looking into this discussion.

the message exists and the system will respond to it

Is there a way to see what messages exist?

This entire project is the result of reverse engineering all these messages from various sources, heh. I wish there was. All we have is community documentation, Wireshark spying on any official apps, and reading decompiled app code.

Gotcha. I figured as much (ive tried my hand at wiresharking as well before i found this project). but yeah. was just curious if i missed the memo where all message names reside. lol

I was also playing around with the "Pentair SLConfig" app and that's actually where I noticed that the result from "getAll*CircuitNamesAsync" matched the list of choices in "Setup Circuits" in SLConfig app. Which is how I connected the dots that it's just a list of possible choices and not the actual names that were set.

FWIW. The list of names from getAll*CircuitNamesAsync ended up being like 50% of what the SLConfig app reports. Might make a bug report ticket just for the sake of trackign.
