Autelis Help

sipvoip · May 18, 2017, 6:42pm

I am running Autelis 1.6.9 with the latest openHAB 2 Autelis binding and running into several issues. So far I am able to see that the pump is on, but not able to turn it off or set the speed. I can see the pool heat setpoint and changing it works, but I can’t start the heater like I could with the openhab 1 autelis binding. Finally, I am not able to see or set the chlorine level or salt level.

My items:

Switch    Pool_Pump                           "Pool Pump"                                             <pool_pump>     (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:pumps-pump1"}

If I look at the XML I do see the data:

Can @digitaldan or anyone else lend a hand?

KidSquid · May 18, 2017, 8:39pm

What version of the Autelis are you running, Jandy, Pentair, etc?

sipvoip · May 18, 2017, 8:53pm

Jandy setup running T.1 firmware with ePump and aquaPure. I am able to set things via curl like the chlorine level:

curl "http://admin:admin@autelis.robotics.net/set.cgi?name=chlrp&chem=50"

KidSquid · May 18, 2017, 9:00pm

I’m running Jandy as well (I think Dan is running the Pentair version) and I had to do a bit of hunting and pecking to find out the correct aux relays that were controlling the items that I wanted to use…I think the Pentair version is more specific in the naming of the various relays.

Here’s how my items are set up.

Number PoolAirTemp "Ambient Temperture  [%.1f °F]" { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:temp-airtemp" }
Number PoolWaterTemp "Pool Temperture  [%.1f °F]" { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:temp-pooltemp" }
Switch Pump "Pool Pump" [ "Switchable" ] { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:equipment-pump" }
Switch Cleaner "Cleaner" [ "Switchable" ] { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:equipment-cleaner " }
Switch WaterFall "Waterfall" [ "Switchable" ] { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:equipment-aux2" }
Switch PoolLight "Pool Light" [ "Switchable" ] { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:equipment-aux6" }
Switch BeachLight "Beach Light" [ "Switchable" ] { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:equipment-aux5" }
Switch HotTubLight "Hot Tub Light" [ "Switchable" ] { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:equipment-aux7" }
Switch HotTubBubbles "Hot Tub Bubbles" [ "Switchable" ] { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:equipment-aux4" }
Switch HotTubJets "Hot Tub Jets" [ "Switchable" ] { channel="autelis:poolcontrol:xxxxxx:equipment-aux3" }

Hope this will give you some pointers in the right direction.

Just hit me that I got the aux assignments from the SETUP page in the Autelis web controls:

sipvoip · May 18, 2017, 9:30pm

Thank you, but not sure that helps me since my system is not using any Aux relays. The part I am struggling with the most are pump speeds and chlorination levels.

KidSquid · May 18, 2017, 10:04pm

Sorry I guess I misread your post a bit.

Do you have a channel set up for chlorine and salt?

If you add this to your items file does it return a value?

Number    Pool_Chlorination "Chlorination Setpoint [%d %%]"  { channel="autelis:yourname:yournumber:chlrp" }

Make sure and update the channel information with yours device name and number.

digitaldan · May 19, 2017, 4:22am

I think I may know whats going on, I need to add the Jandy channels to the thing-type.xml file in the binding. Also I see two errors in your config

Switch    Pool_Pump                           "Pool Pump"                                             <pool_pump>     (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:pumps-pump1"}
Number    Pool_Pump_Speed                     "Pool Pump Speed [%s]"                                  <pool_pump>     (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:"}

The syntax for channels is “responseType-childName” from the XML, so system-xxxx, equipment-xxxx, temp-xxxx, chem-xxxx, pumps-xxxx. From your xml there is no pumps-pump1 and the item Pool_Pump_Speed has no channel config (maybe that was just a copy and paste error).

In any case the difference in OH1 vs OH2 here is that channels are defined in the thing type XML file. I need to give this some thought. We either need to define all the Jandy options and then have a different thing types for it… or I can remove the static channels from the thing-type xml file and add them dynamically.

KidSquid · May 19, 2017, 5:19am

I thought each of the Autelis devices have a different model number based upon the pool controller they control. Could you not look for that model # and then load the appropriate channels for that system?

sipvoip · May 19, 2017, 1:16pm

That should work, Jandy is 6520

sipvoip · May 19, 2017, 1:20pm

Thanks for getting back to me, so names should be:

Switch    Pool_Pump                           "Pool Pump"                                             <pool_pump>     (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:equipment-pump"}
Number    Pool_Pump_Speed                     "Pool Pump Speed [%s]"                                  <pool_pump>     (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:pumps-vsp1"}
Switch    Pool_Heat                           "Pool Heat"                                             <pool_heater>   (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:equipment-poolht"}
Number    Pool_SetPoint                       "Pool SetPoint [%.0f °F]"                               <temperature>   (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:temp-poolsp"}
Number    Pool_Temperature                    "Pool Temperature [%.0f °F]"                            <temperature>   (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:temp-pooltemp"}
Number    Pool_Chlorination                   "Chlorination Setpoint [%d %%]"                         <chlorine>      (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:chem-chlorp"}
Number    Pool_Salt                           "Pool Salt Level [%d ppm]"                              <salt>          (Pool)                                  {channel="autelis:poolcontrol:Pool:chem-saltp"}

But if I understand you, that wont work until check and pumps are added. Will the binding take the saltp value and multiply by 50 so that it is the correct value?

Wondered if you had time to think about this? I would like to be able to control my chlorine generator and pump speed from openhab.

digitaldan · June 29, 2017, 8:04pm

So i have a branch which breaks out Jandy and Pentair into their own things. Take a look at the readme https://github.com/digitaldan/openhab2-addons/tree/autelis-jandy/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.autelis to see the the new thing types and channels. It should be similar to today.

You can download the jar at https://github.com/digitaldan/openhab2-addons/releases/tag/autelis-jandy , you probably need to be on openHAB 2.1 for it to work. Since I don’t have a Jandy, its hard for me to test, let me know how it goes.

digitaldan · June 29, 2017, 9:02pm

can you run feature:install org.eclipse.smarthome.io.transport.upnp in the console? and then restart the autelis binding?

sipvoip · June 29, 2017, 9:03pm

Fixed the upnp error with:

feature:install esh-io-transport-upnp

Now, when I try to change chlorination setpoint I get:

autelis.log:2017-06-29 16:59:10.942 [AutelisHandler ] - Unsupported type chem

When I try to change pump speed I get:

autelis.log:2017-06-29 16:59:19.334 [AutelisHandler ] - Unsupported type pump

sipvoip · June 29, 2017, 9:04pm

That did not work, but “feature:install esh-io-transport-upnp” did.

sipvoip · June 29, 2017, 9:26pm

BTW, I am seeing correct XML data for Jandy! I just can’t set it.

Well, thats progress I’m boarding a flight, I’ll check why commands are failing a little later tonight.

digitaldan · June 30, 2017, 1:32am

Ok, I see where the issue is, can you tell me what the URL is that the autelis web interface hits when setting those values (using something like the chrome debugger) ? The autelis documentation is not very clear when it comes to sending commands.
