Going to Automate my Pool

[chris8837 (Chris)]

So I’m going to use a raspberry pi 3 and a few dual Sonoff switches reprogrammed to start my pool pumps, lights, etc.

I was wondering if this is wise before I start buying all of this? Anyone out there tried?

Also I’m thinking about changing my valves to auto. I think they run on 24v. Would I just down Volt the 120 to Control these?

Also is there a way to have the code run multiple relays at once with a timer? Like make sure when the pump comes on it changes the valves to run the pool.

Or have the pump come on and change the suction to the pool cleaner?

Hope I’m making sense. I’ve been watching MK SmartHouse and following some of his tutorials.

Making a Pool Pump Timer

I have been trying to create a pool pump timer, which basically uses the rule system in openhab, to turn the “FF_Pool_Pump” item to ON, everyday, at 10am, then turning it off at 2pm. That’s it, I thought I woulda have been a rather easy task. But I just can’t get it to function! One of the main problems I’m having is that, I can’t figure out how to get the current time and then based on that time, have openhab turn on or off, the Pool pump, I’m not sure if this is an easy thing to do, but I woul…

Temperature check for pool pump

I recently upgraded my pool timer to the GE ZWave timer (12726). All I can say is that in the past month it has worked like a charm and I can’t believe I didn’t pull the trigger earlier. Anyway, I am trying to set up some rules for when the cold weather hits in about seven months or so. I have two jobs that turn the pump on in the morning and turn it off at night, basic cron jobs. But what I would like to do is whenever the temperature drops below 35F/1.7C to have the pump turn on to protect th…

Pool Automation

For us with pool I have asked them it they plan an API. /mike

I use the excellent Autelis binding Dan wrote. If you have a Jandy, Pentair, or Hayward pool control system I highly recommend looking at the Autelis box which plugs right in and Dans great binding lets you control it all from OH.

I would be careful using sonoffs to start a pool pump. The sonoff relays are cheap and can’t handle big loads.
I would use the sonoff to trigger a biggers rated relay.

I’ve been using GitHub - sfeakes/AqualinkD: Daemon to control Jandy Aqualink RS pool equipment from any home automation hub (Alexa, Homekit & Siri, Home Assistant, smartthings, domoticz etc) or web browser. to control my Jandy based pool with a raspberry PI it has a web UI and MQTT interface that you can integrate into openhab.

Basically I was looking for pool automation,( including Polaris robots and )
I am looking to integrate iAqaulink Pool Robo Cleaner into my mobile application developed using C# and Xamarin .

Could you please advise or share your guidance .

I followed some of the documentations on iaqualink package - github.com/tekkamanendless/iaqualink - pkg.go.dev

I sent device commands through iAqualink mobile app on iphone and I used an MITM proxy and observed requests which control movements of this device (robot pool cleaner)

I found that its hitting web socket requests instead of http requests (/devices/${device}/execute_read_command.json)

Has it something changed from Aqualink or does it not support iAqualink HTTP requests for device commands ? Very much confused

Could you please advise or share your guidance , I am kind stuck on the approach to integrate this iAqualink Robo pool cleaner .
