ScreenLogicConnect
This is a C# 7.1 / .NET Core 2.0 library for interfacing with Pentair ScreenLogic systems over your local network. It requires a Pentair ScreenLogic device on the same network (a network which supports UDP broadcasts).
It was created to be able to connect to my pool equipment via a Raspberry Pi. But then I discovered that .NET Core doesn't support armv6, so my RPi Zero wasn't going to support it after all. I may convert to regular .NET in order to take advantage of Mono which I hear does support the Zero.
Usage
See Program.cs inside the Test directory for an example of interfacing with the library. Broadly, for local connections you'll want to await ScreenLogicConnect.FindUnits.Find() to get a list of available controllers on your network, create a connection with
new ScreenLogicConnect.UnitConnection() and await connection.ConnectTo(controller). Once connected, there are a few methods implemented such as GetPoolStatus() that should show up via Intellisense. For remote connections you'll want to await
ScreenLogicConnect.RemoteConnect.GetGatewayInfo(systemName) then ensure your password is specified for connection.ConnectTo(controller, password). Everything else should work the same as a local connection.
Example output
This is an example of what the test app currently outputs:
Air temp: 64 degrees F
Pool temp: 66 degrees F
Spa temp: 60 degrees F (Last)
ORP: 721
pH: 7.60
Salt: 3050 PPM
Saturation: -0.32
Note that internally any decimal value is stored in an integer format. The pH value in this example is stored in the GetPoolStatus message as "760" and must be divided by 100. Saturation is stored as -32 and must also be divided by 100. (This is how the Pentair system works, the library is not attempting to fix the values up internally.)
Notes
Contributions welcome. There are lots of available messages supported by ScreenLogic that the app doesn't support yet, but can be added pretty easily as needed.
