Can this control only a single pump? Or does it need an IntelliCenter Controller #412
-
I bought a house. It has a pool. The pool has a Pentair pump. I now have an RS-486 adapter connected to it and today can finally start testing. I'd love to use this software, but I keep seeing that it connects to an IntelliCenter Controller. Must I have that? All I really want at this point is to remotely turn my pump on and off at certain times. That's it. I am a coder, I can do low-level serial code and can write something if I have to. But I would rather use something that already works. Can this code directly control the pump? |

It does not need an IntelliCenter to control a single pump. It can connect to IntelliCenter, EasyTouch, or IntelliTouch but it also stands alone and creates a controller named Nixie. |

OK, it's installed and it is opening the serial port that has the RS-485 adapter. [4/14/2022, 7:56:06 AM] warn: Inactivity timeout for 0 serial port /dev/ttyUSB0 after 10 seconds I am suspecting I am missing a configuration. Where is that documented? Does the pump need to be in a particular mode for this to work? |

We previously tried to interact with IntelliConnect #158 and it seems to be local control only and not outwardly broadcast any status. |
