Hello Avanti - that worked!!
Thank you so much.
For me though I have to code it as follows: 00 FF A5 00 10 20 86 02 02 00 01 5F
A5 00 rather than A5 01
Are there other command bytes like 86 that you know? I guess 86 means <do this>?
Now i'm figuring out what device hex codes I can use - 02 above is my heater.
Thanks again!
rob

Hello - yes
I've written my controller in both VB and Java.
I have the Java app running on my Nexus pad - love the fact I don't have to go outside anymore to turn things on and off.
Now that spring has finally arrived I want to further my App and add the code to control the temp settings on the heater.
I'll try by playing around on the panel and capturing the data stream to see what is passed between the panel and the heater.
However, if anyone out there already knows the command sequence please share.
If your interested in this code drop me a note and I will share it.
Cheers

Anything you can share? So far I was only able toVB script a code in homeseer to read the broadcast, but still can't control it. I have the CFI debuged for AUX and feature status, temp, etc.robc64 said:Hello - yes

I have a Premise driver for the IntelliTouch system that does some basic things using the A5 version protocol. It is in the Premise Downloads area of Cocoontech. It does do the 0x88 Set Heat message (the high bit seems to imply a Remote address is doing a Set versus a Response packet - I.e., current Heat settings is 0x08). I use a Digi One SP to convert from RS485 to IP. I ended up setting the termination dip switch on the serial converter, as the IntelliTouch Controller seemed to be having difficulties sending data otherwise (yes, I did connect the ground wire).
One frustrating thing (besides the fact that Pentair doesn't just release the silly protocol) is that I have not yet determined a way of querying the current heating set points. No 0x08 packet is generated unless a 0x88 packet is first sent. So you can't see the heating set points until a Remote device (which could be the driver) sets them. Not a problem after the data has been acquired, but still annoying.
Regarding the byte following the A5 in the header, I have seen 0x00, 0x01, and 0x02. I just use 0x01 and it seems to work.
My IntelliChem/IntelliChlor is separate, and I have not looked yet at that bus. Maybe someone has some information?

I have an Intellitouch indoor controller and when I hooked it up to my rs485 > usb dongle I got a totally different byte sequence than what I'm seeing online. I'm using 9600 8 N 1, no flow control... the indoor control shows as version 1.090.
I pressed the first three buttons on the left (starting at the top), then the first three on the right (starting at the top), then the heat button. I see no 00 FF A5 header, instead I get this:

crap, sorry. i didn't get the top part of the data. the first 8 repeated sequences (12DB9F79BF6BBFDFDCB99) came from the controller before I pressed any buttons. here's the full stream:

omg guys i'm sorry for spamming. the A and B on my interface board are mislabeled. switching them gives the right output:

I have read elsewhere that some of the versions of these things have the + and - backwards. Very frustrating.
Looks like the 1a version of this protocol adds a duplicating of the last byte in the CRC.
I have made some additions to the driver to also interpret the IntelliChlor messages (those 10 02 ... things that appear after regular messages). Have not uploaded the changes yet.

fischershaw said:One frustrating thing (besides the fact that Pentair doesn't just release the silly protocol) is that I have not yet determined a way of querying the current heating set points. No 0x08 packet is generated unless a 0x88 packet is first sent. So you can't see the heating set points until a Remote device (which could be the driver) sets them. Not a problem after the data has been acquired, but still annoying.
The 0x08 command is sent by the controller every 2 minutes. That makes it a bit of a pain for testing when you're resetting things a lot but it works.
Have you had any luck decoding the bits that show pool and spa heater source and state?

Definitely had success with both the source and state. Look in the Pentair driver source file pitController.cpp I uploaded (pit.zip in Premise downloads section ) for "HeatMode" and "HeatingStatus" properties.

What specific 485 adapters are you using on your PC? I'd like to play with this connected to a jandy system and see if I can crack the protocol. Also, is there any documentation on figuring out baud rates and settings?
Thanks.
Thanks.
