The Pentair pool and spa equipment company creates a control system for their system called IntelliTouch and to interface with it via TCP/IP you buy and install their ScreenLogic system. The IntelliTouch system is RF based and the ScreenLogic system helps convert the RF situation into something much more manageable for Home Assistant. If we work backwards from the RF at the pool equipment to Home Assistant it is easy to describe the data path. The RF from the pool equipment is gobbled up by the Pentair Screenlogic so we do not need to worry about that. The Screenlogic system allows you to use the Pentair socket service to talk to your IntelliTouch system.

To make that interface consumable we decorate that service with node-screenlogic. Next, we need something to broker communication between the node-screenlogic interface and HomeAssistant. Validate that the image name has the correct spelling and ensure that the image file does not have any spaces in the filename. Copy the share path and paste it into a file explorer window and try to navigate to the share path to validate that is correct. It also allows you to make various settings to facilitate complex scanning. Open the template properties and navigate to the capture/deploy image action. This software lets you edit scanned pages (switch pages, delete pages, etc.) intuitively using thumbnail images. For this solution we use MQTT which is a favorite of the HA community in general. Image Capture Plus is an application that transfers image data scanned by a Panasonic high-speed document scanner to a PC in the form of an image file. A script subscribes and binds to the Screenlogic system via node-screenlogic and reports IO via MQTT. Thus, HomeAssistant just needs to interface via MQTT for the Pentair system which is already globally supported for HomeAssistant. A “go-between program” using node-screenlogic and mosquitto ( I built all of this into a Docker container).an MQTT broker ( maybe you already have one for other HA items, you can use that).
