Has anyone attempted to control the Pentair Intellitouch or Easytouch using the Screenlogic Protocol Adapter? Pretty sure this is a long shot and there's no drivers or documented commands, but it does apparently offer a ethernet to Pentair bus interface.
|
I do know that the interface is a serial brick and that the software was deveolped by a company called Homelogic that is now owned by Elan. I have a current Elan system controlling a pool through that serial brick via ip on port 10001. When I tryed to watch watch what commands were being sent, it locked up and had to be reset.
I too am looking for a way to interface with this device from an mc3. Anyone else had any luck with this?

Hey Bryn;
Did you ever do this? ?If so, how did it work out? ?If not, what was the ultimate solution?
Thanks
Kol

Has anyone gotten this to work? We're still integrating with the iLink modules, but would be nice to use the Pentair IP module.
|
ControlWorks has both available:
|
While we appreciate the fee advertising, I just wanted to make sure you all know that neither of our Pentair modules are compatible with the EasyTouch system.? If you want to integrate the EasyTouch system, you need to install the Compool adapter and then you can use the Compool module from the Crestron database.
|
Thanks, these would be Intellitouch systems.
So, the "Pentair IntelliCenter Pool Controller" module works via the Pentair Screenlogic2 IP protocol adapter? I just want to confirm since the wording is different on the module page.
|
Our Intellicenter module is only compatible with the Intellicenter pool controller.? If you want to integrate an Intellitouch system, then you would need to use our Intellitouch module via RS-232 with the iLink adapter.?
|
Sorry to unearth an old thread...I’m being asked to integrate an EasyTouch Compool to ?EasyTouch panel. ?They are currently using the Intellitouch ScreenLogic2 app for control. ?Can you point me in the right direction as to what they need for integration with Crestron? ?The old Compool had RS485 right on the board if I remember correctly. ?The new setup does not. ?I hate pool controllers btw...:). ?Everyone’s setup always seems to be radically different from the next. ?Thanks in advance.
|
Yes, you can control this with a ControlWorks module from their website. Works pretty well, just got to buy the license from them
|
Yes we have acquired and used the ControlWorkS module many times in the past but Pentair is telling me that EasyTouch is not compatible with home automation. ?I wanna say we’ve always used the CW module via RS232 and the iLink protocol adapter. ?It’s unfortunately a long drive away and I’m going to have to figure this out onsite and I’d like to get my ducks in a row so that I can make it home before dark...:)
|
The IntelliTouch is compatible with the iLink Adapter, and we have a module for that.?
?
The IntelliCenter, uses a different module/license but we have one. ?

Neither of those modules will work with EasyTouch. If you want to integrate the EasyTouch system, you need to install the Compool adapter and then you can use the Compool module from the Crestron database.

Forgive my ignorance here, Im Googling ‘Compool integration adapter’ and nothing is jumping out at me. ?Pool controllers seem to be my Kryptonite. ?The pool guy onsite is useless and Pentair tech support is telling me ‘no home automation’. ?The old Compool setup that was previously there had a header right on the board for RS485 I believe and worked pretty well for years.

I know this is an old thread, but I have a client that wants to integrate their Pentair EasyTouch pool controller.? Although I suggested they upgrade to an IntelliCenter, of course they don't want to do that.? My job now is simply to tell them what is required to integrate the EasyTouch, assuming it's even possible, so they can make a decision.
Does anyone know exactly what is the "Compool adapter" mentioned in the post below?? A picture, part number, anything?
Thanks in advance!

Tony,
If you are going to try to control the Pentair EasyTouch directly, you don't need an adapter. The Pentair bus is just RS485. The other day I connected a din-ap3 to a EasyTouch to test control. My hopes were that the old Compool 3800 module that I have would work. It didn't! I did a quick search and found this git site: . They explain the protocol but leave vital information out.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure how that might be helpful for my specific question. I'm not trying to integrate with Compool, which that site appears to document. There's already a Crestron module for Compool. I'm trying to find information on the mysterious "Compool adapter" that supposedly allows integration with the Pentair EasyTouch. --- On Friday, April 4, 2025 at 10:39 PM, MSTC wrote:

Hi Tony;
They describe the mysterious adapter, which appears to be simply a 232 to 485 adapter, along with other info that might be pertinent. It seems if one has a 485 com port available an adapter would be unnecessary.
