pentair-exporter

Description

Export Pentair pool status to Influx DB so that it can be graphed with Grafana. To be run as a cron job.

Uses screenlogicpy python script to access the Pentair pool data.

As screenlogicpy creates deeply nested JSON objects and Influx DB only handles single depth Json objects, the objects that I am interested in are flattened in the function publish_pentair_data. The following objects are created:

• Object for each body of water, eg Pool and Spa. The body objects contain Last_Temperature, Heat_Mode, Heat, Heat_Set_Point and Cool_Set_Point. For Heat_Mode, see enums defined in screenlogicpy
• Object for each pump. The pump object contains GPM_Now, RPM_Now and Watts_Now
• Sensors object, which contains each sensor and value
• Circuits object, which contains each configured circuit and value

                        [-v]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  --influxdb            publish to influxdb
  --influxdb_host INFLUXDB_HOST
                        hostname of InfluxDB HTTP API (default: localhost)
  --influxdb_port INFLUXDB_PORT
                        port of InfluxDB HTTP API (default: 8086)
  --influxdb_user INFLUXDB_USER
                        InfluxDB username
  --influxdb_pass INFLUXDB_PASS
                        InfluxDB password
  --influxdb_db INFLUXDB_DB
                        InfluxDB database name (default: pentair)
