It is not working yet, but it now shows up in the paper ui -> things with all of the channels. Only the status is offline Communications Error.
No the autelis is on the same network.

Yes I examined both the openhab.log and the events.log. The openhab.log showed the autelis controller being initialized and brought online with no errors. Also, the openhab.log showed a parsing error if I replaced the ‘-’ in the item statement with anything but the ‘-’. So oh appears to be parsing the input from the autelis controller, but no data is being displayed. The events.log shows nothing for the autelis interactions at all.

Hi, apologies, I think the docs are not correct. While I use config files to define my items, i let OH2 do autodiscovery to find my pool and configure through the paper ui, which is why this was probably not caught earlier. The correct format should be autelis:poolcontrol:myPool . Also what type of pool system are you connecting to?

I first tried the paper ui to configure the autelis controller, but autodiscovery did not find it. That is why I was doing the manual configuration. I discovered the correct format of autelis:poolcontrol:myPool by trial and error. I think I am getting it initialized properly now, but I am not getting any data displayed using:
String poolVersion “Version [%s]” {channel=“autelis:poolcontrol:myPool:system-version”}
Is this the correct syntax?
I am simply connecting a Pentair Intelliflow pump.

To correct my earlier post the following is the contents of the openhab.log:
11:48:42.000 [INFO ] [smarthome.event.ThingAddedEvent ] - Thing ‘autelis:poolcontrol:myPool’ has been added.
11:48:42.011 [INFO ] [me.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘autelis:poolcontrol:myPool’ changed from INITIALIZING to ONLINE
.
.
.
11:48:42.011 [INFO ] [me.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘autelis:poolcontrol:myPool’ changed from ONLINE to OFFLINE (CONFIGURATION_ERROR)
11:48:42.012 [INFO ] [me.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘autelis:poolcontrol:myPool’ changed from UNINITIALIZED to INITIALIZING
.
.
.
11:48:42.375 [INFO ] [me.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘autelis:poolcontrol:myPool’ changed from OFFLINE (CONFIGURATION_ERROR) to OFFLINE (COMMUNICATION_ERROR)
The configuration statement that I put in the .things file is:
autelis:poolcontrol:myPool [ host=“10.194.255.16”, user=“admin”, password=“admin”]
I apparently didn’t look far enough in the log to see that a CONFIGURATION_ERROR and then a COMMUNICATIONS_ERROR were reported

Sorry for not putting this all in one post, but I think there is a second error in the configuration documentation:
Thing autelis:myPool [ host=“192.168.1.10”, port=“80”, user=“admin”, password=“admin”]
should actuall be:
Thing autelis:myPool [ host=“192.168.1.10”, port=80, user=“admin”, password=“admin”]
Otherwise you get an error indicating attempt to write a string into an integer.

Thanks @Larry_Pyle , so is it working for you now? I’m glad we have some other users of this binding, I will update the docs. I’m surprised auto discovery did not work, is your autelis on a different network?

Also to see what channels are available take a look at the thing in the paperui, each channel has a copy icon to copy the channel name to your clipboard.

In comparing the openhab.log with the network sniffer I noticed that at about the same time the openhab.log showed the transition from Initializing to online the sniffer should that the binding sent a get status command to the autelis and the autelis responded with what I believe is the correct xml response and a 200 response code. At about the time the openhab.log showed the transition from online to offline (Configuration Error) and then (Communication Error) the sniffer showed the binding sending the following command:
'GET /chem.xml?timestamp=1490044953225
The autelis then responded with a response code of 404 Not Found
The autelis controller I have is the model that only supports the Intelliflow pump. I was wondering if this could will be the problem.
I notice that the paper UI list does not contain everything available. As an example I was looking for Chlorine level and found it as “autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:chlorine”. What I am still struggling to find is how to set the pump speed.
