This Python script allows control of Jandy Aqualink pools with remotes via a web interface. Your existing setup needs to already have the old-style square remote or SpaLink installed.
You will need a USB RS485 interface, a Raspberry Pi, and either a wireless or wired connection to your home network.
It emulates a LCD controller and a SpaLink control panel on the web interface as well as the RS485 bus.
Install and run it from /etc/local.rc on a RaspberryPi and go to:
- LCD Controller: http://raspi/
- SpaLink: http://raspi/spa.html (where raspi is replaced with your RaspberryPi's IP or hostname)
There is no authentication, so anyone with access to your network has unrestricted access.
Some of the RS485 protocol routine was borrowed from https://github.com/ericbuehl/pyaqualink and some code on the excellent Trouble Free Pool forums: http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/27391-Control-your-Jandy-equipment-from-your-PC-with-a-15-adapter
