Wish list for new features? #610

Curious... how can we benefit from direct ScreenLogic integration? There are some things about my ET4/Screenlogic shared body setup that make me want to scrap the EasyTouch all together and just go with nixie. But I'm more bark than bite and it takes me forever to implement big changes with all my competing demands for time. 😂 Things like temp setpoints/ modes with schedules, setting Solar deltas, probably some others... Always exciting to hear the next round of innovation. |

Please tackle the wild world of pool color changing lights. Since none of the companies can seem to come up with a standard selection scheme, it would be great if I could map out my own colors and shows and have NJsPC reflect them easily. Basically just an option to choose program number ones name and color/scene, then number two and three... Etc. Maybe a way for people to share config files with others |

I'd like to see the ability to enable/disable a schedule without it affecting the current status of the equipment. I know there is a disable button for a pool schedule, but when I click it to disable it turns the pool off. Say for example I'm going on vacation and don't want my pool lights coming on. I'd like to just disable that schedule and then re-enable it when I get back. The other wishlist is the ability to keep the pool on when superchlorinate is happening. I currently handle stuff like this in Home Assistant but I would love for it to be native to njsPC. |

@tagyoureit Also, any chance that we can break up the "Features" and the "Circuit Groups (macros)" into two distinct boxes on the dashPanel? Thanks very much!! |

Hi tagyoureit, I would like the ability to program events to take place, kinda like a home automation system. I don’t have home automation, not sure how it all works or integrates with Nixie. Maybe someone could help school me on this. Clicking a feature button in dash panel “spa night” would turn on landscape lighting, then 4min 30sec later turn on water feature, then 5min 45sec after that fire-up the spa then when the spa reaches temperature the fire ring ignites, then 2min after that the pool/spa lighting turns on, then 3 hours after that everything shuts off. It would also be nice to control sprinklers. E.G., Click a feature button on dash panel “sprinklers” and station 1 turns on, then after 9min station 1 turns off and station 2 turns on and so on and so forth. The above events would also be able to be set-up in the schedules section simply by using the event name. Since everything in my backyard will be controlled by “Nixie” (pool/spa lights & equipment, yard lighting, patio lights, water feature, fire ring etc.) why not the sprinklers too? Just slap on another relay hat and done. Thoughts? |

I'd love a secure web interface built-in. Open her up to the world with confidence that Russian hackers won't turn on my heater in the middle of the night. |

One thing I've been kicking around in my head for a long time is the use of ML and AI. Here are some basic things that might be interesting...
And if we take it a step further...
And if we are able to look across many pools in the community (distant future)...
I've yet to dive into the ML/AI arena but it would be pretty cool to see what supervised/unsupervised learning could accomplish in the pool world. |

Late to the 8.0.0 party here, but I think it would be super interesting to explore Matter support for the project. May help streamline the support/maintenance of all the integrations and bindings for different home automation controllers in the wild. Interestingly the Matter 1.0 spec supports pumps and pump controllers as device types. Maybe not an 8.0.0 effort, but follow on. Considering hacking on a proof of concept to see how viable this would be. |

Something that just came to mind. I use PoolMath from TFP to track my test results and to calculate what chems to add. Would it be useful to have this functionality in njsPC as well? Even in a fully automated Nixie, you still need to manually test certain pool levels, and manually calculate chems to add, such as total alkalinity and calcium hardness. |

I'd love to see some more robust rule setting for circuit on/off times. "Run AT LEAST 4 hours, and until both temperature and ORP setpoints are reached, but don't exceed 10 hours (i.e. something is wrong)" |

I'd like to see the ability to wire simple green and red buttons to the enclosure, and set rules for them. Red stops whatever program is running, Green starts up a swim program for the next 45 minutes. |

We are starting to work on the next version of njsPC and would love to know what you might want to see included!
Here are a few smaller and bigger items I'm tracking (but not promising to deliver!).
Keeping a more formal list here: https://github.com/users/tagyoureit/projects/1/views/1
