⚠️ Version 2.x+ of this plugin only works with IntelliCenter version 1.064 and higher. If you are on an older version of IntelliCenter firmware, it is recommended that you upgrade your IntelliCenter firmware. If you prefer to remain on older IntelliCenter firmware, you should install the latest 1.x version of this plugin.
Homebridge Pentair IntelliCenter Plugin
This plugin integrates with the Pentair IntelliCenter panel to expose its features to HomeKit/Siri. It connects directly to your IntelliCenter panel, so using a separate pool controller (i.e. nodejs-poolController) is not required. By design, only the "Bodies", heaters, and circuits that are marked as "Features" in IntelliCenter will be exposed as switches in HomeKit. This avoids unnecessary/redundant HomeKit configuration.
As of version 2.1.0, pump speed can be controlled like a Fan controller. This requires that circuits or bodies be attached to a pump setting in IntelliCenter. The rotation speed maps to IntelliCenter's min/max speed or flow settings. For example, if IntelliCenter's min RPM is 1,000 and the max is 3,400, the circuits speed settings will map as follows:
- 0%: 1,000 RPMs
- 50%: 1,700 RPMs
- 100%: 3,400 RPMs
⚠️ Your installer may have configured you min RPMs too low for flow It is highly recommended that you check double check your pump configuration to avoid pump damage.
Also, along with the Homebridge Alexa plugin, this plugin can be used to expose your IntelliCenter circuits to Alexa. As far as I know, this is currently the only Alexa integration as the Alexa skill for IntelliCenter is no longer available.
Troubleshooting
-
Connection Errors
- Try first rebooting your IntelliCenter panel, then reboot Homebridge.
- Ensure your IntelliCenter has a DHCP reservation or static IP address.
