Autelis Binding - Channels Missing?

Add-ons Bindings
1

@digitaldan

Now that I have the Autelis binding up and running in OH2 I wanted to start building out my controls.

The first item I wanted to control was my waterfall pump, which is connected to Auxiliary 2 as per the Autelis setting screen.

When looking at the available channels in the Official Docs I did not see any for Auxiliary so I tried both the

equipment-circuit2

and

equipment-feature2

channels with no luck. I then surmised the channel I needed was missing and tried

equipment-aux2

and like magic I had control.

Is the documentation missing references to the equipment-aux channels?

I’m not sure, my controller does not have aux entries in any of the xml files ( check http://poolcontrol/status.xml ) , also I don’t think I have that same setup screen that you have posted, not sure if its a firmware difference or not.

Here’s my Status.XML…

I have the model 6520 for Jandy/Zodiac Controllers, do you have the Pentair or Hayward model by chance?

Ahh, mine is Pentair, hence the difference. I can make a different thing type for the pentair version, do you know if you have chem.xml and pumps.xml?

Sorry I mean make a differnt thing type for Jandy

Hi Dan -

I do have chem.xml and pumps.xml which I believe were part of the newer Autelis firmware. I can make the current THING work, my only observation was that there was no channel for the AUX items which seems to be the basis of my control. I was able to create an undocumented channel called

equipment-aux2

Instead of creating a different version do you think it might be easier to update the docs? I say that because it seems like there are 4/5 other models and I’d hate for you to need to maintain 5 different versions.

I do have chem.xml and pumps.xml which

Can you post the content of those please?

We really need channels defined for each type, OH2 is very much made for this type of situation, in fact I think this is all just some XML changes, I don’t think there will be any code changes, which is why it’s mostly working as you point out.

Here are my chem.xml and pumps.xml files…
