Autelis Jandy

Here's the Color Lights sequence. Basically Equipment On/Off, Lamp On, Pick color then Select.

the rest of the colors.

After the color is chosen, this screen appears as the RS-8 sends a series of on/off commands to the light to get it to cycle through to the correct color.

If you want to change colors when the light is already on, press "select." this would normally turn the light off. However there is a 5 second delay so you can choose another color. If out of the 5 secs, will just turn light off.

Are you able to telnet to the Autelis on port 6000? Seems like you don't have the TCP version of the firmware.

Hmm... still not connecting... Downloaded and installed 1.5.4 firmware.

I changed settings and saved it a couple of times.

So you were right, I forgot that the TCP firmware is buried on another page... but, it is still behaving a bit oddly. Here's the log:

The "Pool" device icon is greyed out, even though there is data in the little box below. I can't use my iPhone control page to control the pool -- tried recreating the buttons even -- but action groups from Indigo work and the plugin will update the variable states.

edit: the temp setpoint buttons for both the spa and pool setpoints work, and the keypad emulation lines update in the status box on the bottom, along with the SWG status.

Upgraded to B8. Plugin device is still greyed out.

However, there is definite communication as shown by the status box with the new details:

Pool Status Box 130528.tiff (14.01 KiB) Viewed 4202 times

Still getting "communication disabled" on most control page actions. Have created new actions that also don't communicate. Interestingly, as noted above, I can change the spa or pool temp setpoints. So far I have been reluctant to actually delete the "Pool" device and recreate it, given that I'm thinking I'll have to repoint all my control page stuff.

This is very bizarre. Can you try editing the plugin device? Just choose a different plugin, then change back to Autelis Jandy. That may force it to re-associate with the plugin.

Did that earlier and tried again following B8 update; no joy.

can you click the comm enabled checkbox? disable and re-enable -- see if that helps at all?

Unclicked "Enable Indigo Communications", set the device to another plugin type, closed, opened, reset to Autelis Jandy, unclicked "enable" again, closed, re opened, clicked "enable" again. Still greyed out, with "communication is disabled" appearing in the log on control page button presses. Disabled "keypad updates" and "aquapure installed" to no effect.

For the time being, could you post or email me a downgrade? Sorry this is so much trouble.

Matt/Jay - we need you help. Ham and I have been trying to work through enabling communication for the Autelis Jandy plugin on his system. For some reason, we are unable to click the Comm Enabled checkbox in the device list. The device is greyed out and when actions run, the event log reports that communication is disabled. The plugin is otherwise updating states in the background as it should.

I've not materially changed the way the communications works since I created this over a year ago. We've tried older versions of the plugin to no avail on Ham's system. The odd thing is that it is running fine on my system and we are both running the same version of Indigo (v6 b8).

Two thoughts:

• Could there be something inherently wrong with my plugin that is causing us not to be able to check that box?
• Could Ham have some database corruption that we could investigate?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The really odd part is that we can click the "Enable Indigo Communications" checkbox if we double-click on the device, but it does not change the checkbox in the Comm Enabled column in the device list. Am I explaining this clearly?

Indigo 6 has a new device property that specifies if the device has been configured correctly yet. If it hasn't, then it cannot be enabled. So perhaps that is the problem. If you open the plugin's device config UI via the Edit Device Settings button, then OK out of the dialog that should (presuming the plugin validates the config UI settings and says everything is okay) set the configured flag to True automatically. So give that a try (open settings and OK out of it).

If that fails, then copy/paste what you see in the Event Log (if anything).

OK - we are getting closer. The Autelis Jandy plugin does not have any device configuration properties. None are required. Could that be an issue? Should I create one just for the heck of it?

Yeah, it sounds like the device got into a bad state or Indigo incorrectly thinks it has settings when it doesn't.

You could try hand editing the database XML file. Search for the word tag "Configured". If you find it set to false for your device, then you can just delete that line (the default value of true will be used if it doesn't exist).

Be sure and shutdown the Indigo Server (not just client) before editing the XML file, or Indigo will overwrite your change. Also make a backup of the file before you edit it in case something goes wrong.

Does that get it working?

I added a dummy device configuration item to make it easier for hamw.

Ham - would you re-download the plugin from my wiki site and give it a try. As Matt states, edit the device properties and just hit save. You can put anything in that box.

I think I am going to modify the plugin altogether to initiate the communications for each device independently (if this works). In theory, one could have multiple Autelis devices.

Well, that did the trick! Thanks for helping and we are back in business!

By the way… When changing from pool to spa, there is a delay. That's also true when turning the pool off if the heat is enabled. Does the plugin currently show that status line without having to go to the full keypad XML page?

Also, any plans to enable the keypad buttons, e.g. "select", "up", "down" etc to allow full control thru Indigo?
