Is it possible to have some of the 'device states' be a variable? Specifically, I'd love to have the airtemp be a variable that some of my HVAC triggers rely on rather than using the NOAA weather script just because that script uses a nearest weather fetch station that is 20 miles from me. Thanks again for creating this, its probably going to get me to upgrade to 5.0. (although i'm sure Indigo guys will suggest other reasons to do so )

Let me know what specifically you'd like tested. My pool is closed but I have lighting connected to my RS8 which I can test. Happy to more testing in the spring.

Also, just a question, and I'm guessing it doesn't matter, but when setting up a control panel, I figured there are two ways to toggle an Aux, 1) set up an action group and have the png run that action group or 2) simply have the png itself toggle an aux using the edit actions. Any thoughts as to which is the 'better' way? I set up both ways and didn't notice too much difference in lag times, but just curious as to your thoughts.

Thanks again.

BTW, going back to this post and the subsequent responses from Jay and Matt, did you try to use the Trigger Actions again on your pool temperature? With the change in the states from string to integer variables for the temperatures, you should now be able to trigger on greater than, less than, etc.

Let me know if that is not working correctly, as it seems to work fine for me.

Jim

Yep! Awesome work!

Is there any way to do the following:

My pool heater effectively has 3 settings, off, on (heating) and enabled (on but not heating b/c set point has been reached). What i'd like to do is to have the icon reflect the three states. I have three icons in the appropriate directory, heater.png, heater+on.png, heater+enabled.png. Is there a way for the control panel icon to reflect all three? it appears as though currently it can only reflect two, and I have to choose between enabled and on.

Thanks again, terrific work on the plugin.

There is absolutely a way to do what you want. I use two buttons each for the Pool and Spa to get the job done, outlined below, but will think about how to do it with one button and get back to you.

I have one "heater" button that uses the following (PlainButton_small_T_F+.png, PlainButton_small_T_F+false.png, PlainButton_small_T_F+true.png) each for the pool and spa, with the first two being red and the "true" one green. I have these linked to "Pool or Spa heat is On (true or false)," which makes the button green only if the heat is on.

I then created a slightly smaller version set of the small plain button (PlainButton_small_T_F+.png, PlainButton_small_T_F+false.png, PlainButton_small_T_F+true.png) which I place next to the heater button, and link that to "Pool or Spa heat is Enabled (true or false)," such that these are green whenever the heater is enabled, independent of whether the valves are set.

Hope this helps. If you'd like a copy of the buttons as I use them, I'll send them by e-mail. I intend to include them with the install package when I release version 1.0.

I think to do it with one button you just need four versions of the button, e.g.

Two red ones - HeaterButton+.png and HeaterButton+off.png
One yellow one - HeaterButton+enabled.png
One red one - HeaterButton+on.png

Then, rather than linking to Pool or Spa Heat On or Enabled, link to Pool Heat or Spa Heat, and the state of off, enabled or on will use the correct button.

Now, if I could just get a nice looking PlainButton_small with a yellow interior.

Jim,
Gave this a shot but to no avail. Set up 4 buttons as you suggested, however, when setting up the Icon in the control panel:

Display: Device State
For: Jandy Pool Control;

the only options in the next drop down are:
Pool Heat
Pool Heat is on (True or False)
Pool Heat is enabled (True or False)
Pool Heat is off (True or False)

I originally had Pool Heat, but it doesn't show the 'enabled' icon, just the on and off....

EDIT: Scratch that Jim, it works! had to change the icon to the + icon...awesome!

Just installed and it looks great. I have a 2/6 separate pool/spa system. Aux 1 are spa jets, aux 2 blower, aux 3 and 4 lights, and aux x waterfall (jandy actuator).

Looks like Aux X reading is incorrect - reading off when it is on.

One message I got: "Valves switched/switching to spa" - don't think this is applicable to my system - no pool/spa valve - separate pumps for pool and spa,

I think you have waterfall checkbox on Aux 3 or 4 - should be able to put on any Aux (like I have on X), right?

Yes, you can have a waterfall on any AUX. If on AUX3 it will operate with the WFALL command rather than an AUX command.

With regard to AUXX reading incorrectly, can you let me know what the log reads when you make a change, either a change through Indigo or a change directly with your Aqualink system. AUX control has seemed to operate correctly to-date?

With regard to the valve changes, again, I'd like to know what the log reads? You are the first one with a RS 2/6 system, so I am not sure what differences exist in the Jandy feedback with COSMSGS set on.

Jim,
This is beyond a good plugin, really excellent work...definitely donation worthy....
