  1. Hi, how did you  get on with the hot tub driver?

  2. Sorry folks. Of course, I start work on it then get snowed under and work and no hobby time. I did work on it a bit today but need to get back home (will be back on Friday 02/05) because I can't test to see if the damn thing works as it's time to power cycle the tub to get the wifi back. Very frustrating. I hope to have you at least something to test this weekend. I know, you've heard that before :-) But I am excited to see if these updates work and no plans so fingers crossed.
  3. Sorry, but it took me quite some time to figure out the command encoding they use. There is no official API so I was doing this with WireShark and many months of tinkering.
  4. Good timing. I actually got an itch to work on it some today. I'll see if I can get it in limited functionality mode that's suitable for testing today.
  5. Sorry for the delay folks. I've been swamped at work and haven't had much time to mess with the Control4 stuff lately. However, that said, I do want to get a functional version of this out soon. When the snow clears this week I will make sure I get a version with the basic functionality (at the very least). It won't be all that grand to start, but at least we'll have something to test with. No need for donations. This is something I like to tinker with in my spare time; just haven't had much of that lately.
  6. Hi Laren, I need to dust this off. I have been waiting for some fixes to the Spa UI (that were reported back in 2.6) so hopefully 2.8 fixes that. Either way, I was thinking about this the other day and would be a nice distraction from work. Will keep you posted as there's not much left to do on this.
  7. @Forch, do you mind adding me to the circle. @Gix656, I stopped dev on it awhile back but have been meaning to dust it off and release it as a free driver. If you don't mind waiting, give me a couple of weeks and I'll get it up to snuff enough for a first release. All the hard stuff (decoding the Balboa protocol) is done so I just need to pretty it up and add the Spa proxy hooks. Thanks! E
  8. Alan, this is fantastic. Any chance of adding a "severe weather alert" feature whereby we can select the alerts to announce (for me Severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings)? One caveat is that it would need to poll every four minutes (radar update frequency in the US) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  11. Another one I need to quit tinkering with and just release. For those that have messaged me, I'll have this packaged and sent to you in the next day. For anyone else that has a spa with a Balboa wifi module, message me with your C4Mac and I'll add to the list. It's now been running for two weeks with my spa with no hiccups.
  12. Hey folks. There are a number of manufacturers that use the Balboa contorl system with the wifi-module but I don't have a good list. I did a quick google search and a number of them came up. I am testing this with a BullFrog spa, but it should work fine with others. However, I can't guarantee anything there. Balboa has no API and has ignored my requests for assistance with this so it's been a lot of trial and error determining the proper command/response sequences. On a good note, we're going on almost a week with no hiccups so I'm confident the issue I had was with the spa module itself. With that, I'll be dusting off the driver and polishing up the 4store app shortly.
  13. Hey folks. I understand not too much interest in this one (but it's on my list of connecting everything in the house I can to C4). Nonetheless, I wanted to provide an update for any that may be interested and the reason for the delay in releasing a beta. I ran into a snag with my test unit that has delayed the release. To elaborate, I noticed my wifi module was dropping off of the network every 2 to 3 days requiring me to power cycle the tub itself. When this started happening, I delayed the beta release as I was afraid I may be sending commands to the module causing it to get in a bad state. After a couple of weeks of investigation, I have found that others were experiencing similar issues simply by using the Balboa iphone app (and sure enough, I reproduced the issue with my iPhone app). After talking with Balboa support, they suggested I have the module replaced. So, long story short, I had a new wifi module installed on 4/18. I'm going on three days without any hiccups (thanks to the EV ping module to notify me as soon as the thing goes bananas). I'm going to let it run for another few days and if no problems I'll get the driver release out. Just don't want to release something that may cause your wifi module to fail. And yes, there will be a 4Store app for this one. Even though it does integrate with the Pool proxy (and navigator interface), the app will provide more functionality tailored to this particular spa. Thanks and if anybody out there has a customer that would be interested in testing, please let me know. Eric
  14. The driver I've been working on for Bullfrog Spas (or any spa with Balboa Controls and the Balboa WiFi module) will be ready for beta on Monday. Current features include: Display of spa temperature and temperature setpoint in NavigatorAbility to change spa temperature and setpoint in NavigatorComposer programming to perform the following functions:Set temperatureSet spa mode (Ready or Rest) - good for vacation modeSet temp range (Low or High) - good for vacation modeTurn light on/offTurn pump on, low or highAll of these items are exposed as variabls in addition to the spa's current timePlanned features include: More Navigator integration (some additional basics will be included but this may have to wait until the pool proxy is updated)Ability to sync spa time with the controllerSetting filter modesMore granular information on what the spa is doing (Heating, Waiting to Heat, etc.) Please let me know if you are interested in trying this out and I will send you a license key and instructions for downloading the driver.
