The way the sensors connect at the top where the Z-Wave module, which is stored in the cap is located, is very strange too - I could not put the cap on to enable Z-Wave without using their cut-out holes for the sensor wires, so I tried to be very nice in cutting a slit just big enough for the wires to come out of.Regards,

After taking a long look, I decided to make mine gorilla proof. I am going to use the control just to trigger heavy duty 3HP relays. This way I just run 120vac low current ( 18 ga ) wires to the control, with all the heavy duty work in my control box at the spa. The Idea, subject to change is to mount the control on a pillar up at eye level. Will add pic's as I goUbuntu on the Intel NUC ( 8i5BEK ), 32 G, 250G SSD, V4 Pro 😎

Originally posted by Rick Tinker View Post"Make It Work" is right. The PE653 is certified, but the certification house missed a big thing in how it reports the temperature setpoints that it supports. Intermatic did it wrong, and we are not going to get them to change it anytime soon (and certainly not for the units already out there) so I am making an adjustment in our code.
The other thing is that I am not sure that they give you all of the information you may need to set up your system properly - there is a whole host of Z-Wave Configuration settings that you need to go through to set it up for the various pump types that you may have. I am going to add a setting for the mode, which determines whether you have a pool, spa, or both installed, but the numerous other settings you can set using the generic configuration setting at the bottom of the settings. There are a lot of them and it should be a one-time deal setting it up, so it does not make sense for us to create a UI for each and every one of them. To make it easier to re-program in the future, create a table of the parameter number, parameter size (1, 2, or 4 bytes) and the value that you use, and that way it will be easy to re-configure the unit if for some reason you remove and re-add it to your network.
The enclosed document explains these settings and I have no idea why Intermatic does not provide them with the unit.
This should (fingers crossed) be working in our next release of the Z-Wave plug-in.
could you please throw in here the version of the z-wave plugin that should have the change?
Thanks again!

interesting that I put in F and it spit out CUbuntu on the Intel NUC ( 8i5BEK ), 32 G, 250G SSD, V4 Pro 😎

this week-end I'm going to try and install, configure and play.
So far doesn't look so good, can't get it to talk in F, only C and no temp is responding from prove.. But.. the on/off works for the pumps
we will see what happens when I set up the remote controllerUbuntu on the Intel NUC ( 8i5BEK ), 32 G, 250G SSD, V4 Pro 😎
