Here is an observation from an EasyTouch 8 system with an Intellichlor 40 SWG:
170527 09:02:22.504 20.150 R [0] 8 1002-501164---[d7]-1003 (set output 100%)
170527 09:02:22.532 0.028 R [0] 9 1002-00124080-[e4]-1003 3200ppm 0x80
170527 09:02:42.707 20.175 R [0] 8 1002-501164---[d7]-1003...
I did to the extend that I needed. I only have to talk to an Intelliflow VS pump to make it go/stop, change speed and report status... to implement my own controller. Got everything working around the beginning of this year and had no problems since. I am also using the same bus to communicate...
Looks to me like they are waking up. Now, if they would publish their Rs485 communication protocol and API to the VS pump, they would be way ahead of everybody else.

Thanks, dBeau! This gives me a good starting point. I went to a friends house this morning, he has one of these systems, and snooped on the RS485. It does communicate on 9600N81. I also captured some messages and will try to make sense out of them.

Wrote my own, runs on Linux, uses a 1132CU and a 1132B when the USB one goes down and vice versa. There are 5 X10 dimmer switches for outside lights. a 10 station sprinkler system a pondcontroller and a poolcontroller (both home brews) that communicate on X10.
I have read threads in this forum that deal with the communication of the Pentair Intelliflo pump. Did anybody ever figure out how to do it and can tell me the baudrate, parity, stop bits and the protocol? I gathered from dbean's work it is a binary protocol with a checksum. My Intelliflow (it...
