Glad to see this moving forward in HS3. I've been on the fence between the HomeSeer and Vera. Compatibility with my existing PE653 is the deciding factor.

Intermatic PE653RC MultiWave Z-wave Pool/Spa/Home Control
Originally posted by Rick Tinker View PostThat is pretty much it. The air temperature is not even accessible - that temperature is used just for the anti-freeze measures that can be turned on. You do get the water temperature, and there are two thermostats (to some degree). I cannot understand with the ability to specify that a spa and/or a pool is installed, and there are two separate temperature setpoints for those, how the system can run with only one water temperature sensor!
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.

I think I can provide some clarity on the pool / spa mode and 2 set points. When in spa mode if you have the actuators installed all of the water flow is through the spa and the heater is set to the spa temp set point. The thermostat only "sees" spa water.
In pool mode the valves are set back to pool ( circulate pool and spa) the set point goes to the pool set point and the heater reacts accordingly.
Clear as mud?
Cheers
Chris

Originally posted by gearyt View PostSystem will work fine.. mine could be op error.. I can get the control to work with pkgd remote, just cannot get it to set up with HS. If I enter a parameter so set heater, it returns some bogus code.. ( see above )
If they don't pay for use of the spa ...

OK.. I went overboard.. pulled pc board and installed 30 amp contactors, with 120 vac coils.. so I only run 120 vac from spa to controller ( approx 5 feet away on column )
Not finished yet, but for the most part have controller working on floor.. the only differences I see is that I lost the spa set point device and gained an energy set point that I haven't figured out.. I had to tell the unit it was on a pool not spa and works
I also haven't gotten the remote to work w/ HS,, One or the other.. but sure it is my problem and don't really care as HS will be primaryUbuntu on the Intel NUC ( 8i5BEK ), 32 G, 250G SSD, V4 Pro 😎

Please keep me posted. my mind is finding it hard to think about anything aside from my coming hot tub and I, naturally, want to tie it in with HS.
Have you contacted HST about the issues you're having with the controller?
BTW, do you have any information on how to install this thing? I have no idea if it will even work with my hot tub.Originally posted by rpradeThere is no rhyme or reason to the anarchy a defective Z-Wave device can cause
