Neopool - NPFiltration incorrect behavior

[fdebrus]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

When using Tasmota with Neopool, the NPFiltration command accept 0 "OFF" 1 "ON" or 2 "Toggle" as values.

The opposite is reported in MQTT stat

Calling NPFiltration with 0 reports the below in MQTT, the Filtration pool controller is OFF
{
"NPFiltration": "ON",
"Speed": "2"
}
Calling NPFiltration with 1 reports the below in MQTT, the Filtration pool controller is ON
{
"NPFiltration": "OFF",
"Speed": "2"
}

So stat/.../NPFilration is incorrectly set when calling NPFiltration with 0 or 1

@fdebrus
What is the result of command StateText ?

[fdebrus]

StateText
{
"StateText1": "OFF",
"StateText2": "ON",
"StateText3": "TOGGLE",
"StateText4": "HOLD"
}

[fdebrus]

I tried to call

NPFiltration 0 mutiple times in a row

10:09:53.513 CMD: NPFiltration 0
10:09:53.515 SRC: WebConsole from 192.168.XXX
10:09:53.518 CMD: Grp 0, Cmd 'NPFILTRATION', Idx 1, Len 1, Pld 0, Data '0'

10:09:56.132 SRC: WebConsole from 192.168.XXXX
10:09:56.135 CMD: Grp 0, Cmd 'NPFILTRATION', Idx 1, Len 1, Pld 0, Data '0'

10:09:58.661 CMD: Grp 0, Cmd 'NPFILTRATION', Idx 1, Len 1, Pld 0, Data '0'
10:09:58.730 MQT: stat/SmartPool/NPFILTRATION = {"NPFiltration":"OFF","Speed":"2"}

NPFiltration 1 mutiple times in a row

10:11:11.341 CMD: NPFiltration 1
10:11:11.343 SRC: WebConsole from 192.168.XXXX
10:11:11.345 CMD: Grp 0, Cmd 'NPFILTRATION', Idx 1, Len 1, Pld 1, Data '1'
10:11:11.413 MQT: stat/SmartPool/NPFILTRATION = {"NPFiltration":"OFF","Speed":"2"}
10:11:12.905 CMD: NPFiltration 1
10:11:12.907 SRC: WebConsole from 192.168.XXXX
10:11:12.910 CMD: Grp 0, Cmd 'NPFILTRATION', Idx 1, Len 1, Pld 1, Data '1'
10:11:12.979 MQT: stat/SmartPool/NPFILTRATION = {"NPFiltration":"ON","Speed":"2"}
10:11:14.441 CMD: NPFiltration 1
10:11:14.443 SRC: WebConsole from 192.168.XXXX
10:11:14.446 CMD: Grp 0, Cmd 'NPFILTRATION', Idx 1, Len 1, Pld 1, Data '1'
10:11:14.514 MQT: stat/SmartPool/NPFILTRATION = {"NPFiltration":"ON","Speed":"2"}

So the first call to NPFiltration gives a wrong status while nexts are good.

[barbudor]

Looking at the code I don't see any problem with the logic
The value that is displayed as the status from the command is read back to the device
So I see 2 possible issues:

• The device take some time to take the command into account
• The device is missing some commands due to the communication problems (wiring quality ?)

You can interrogate the device with command NPFiltration without any argument
Starting with a state OFF, what are the result for the following sequence of commands executed one after the other leaving 5-10 seconds between each command:

NPFiltration
NPFiltration 1
NPFiltration
NPFiltration
NPFiltration
NPFiltration 1
NPFiltration
NPFiltration

[barbudor]

Hi @curzon01 I think you were the main contributor on this code
My opinion would be a communication problem which makes the NeoPool device miss commands
What do you think ?

Note:
When issuing NPFiltration 1 or 0 the pump do react accordingly 1- ON 0-OFF so the command is not "lost" only state is not updated accordingly.

[barbudor]

So the problem is on the device which do not update it's state quickly

Possibilities:

• do not display value read back from the device but value from the command. Disadvantage is that if comm is broken and the device do not change it's state a wrong value would be reported
• delay the read back: but what would be the delay? A delay would block the whole tasmota unless it is implemented asynchronously

[curzon01]

It seems @barbudor are right, the Auarite system might be very slow updating their internal register.

Pls provide "NPControl" and "Teleperiod" (topic .../SENSOR) result to see the system info and FW version number

(pls be patient, I'm busy 'till ne t week)

[curzon01]

may be I can fix it, let me check next week

meantime workaround:
for switching pump use Backlog NPFiltration x;Delay 10;NPFiltration - x = 0 or 1, adapt Delay period if necessary

[fdebrus]

thanks, not sure how to use that workaround from HA but I can code something similar. For the time being this is how I call the command

mqtt:
switch:
- unique_id: "pool_pump_switch"
name: "Pool Pump Switch"
device_class: switch
retain: true
command_topic: "cmnd/SmartPool/NPFiltration"
state_topic: "stat/SmartPool/NPFILTRATION"
value_template: >-
{% set values = { 'OFF':'0', 'ON':'1' } %}
{{ values[value_json["NPFiltration"]] if value_json["NPFiltration"] in values.keys() else 'Error' }}
payload_on: "1"
payload_off: "0"

then an automation is calling NPFiltration again after 5secs

alias: NPFiltration
description: ""
trigger:

• platform: mqtt
  topic: cmnd/SmartPool/NPFiltration
  condition: []
  action:
• delay:
  hours: 0
  minutes: 0
  seconds: 5
  milliseconds: 0
• service: mqtt.publish
  data:
  topic: cmnd/SmartPool/NPFiltration
  mode: single

that works :)

[curzon01]

you're not patient enough :-)
fix is still in test and already on the way...
