Aqualink daemon can't use extended_device_id in PDA mode

[ballle98]

I have a newer PDA panel that has some support. If I patch out this check below I start seeing iAQ Touch interactions. I was going to look into it and see if I could make it more functional.

@sfeakes have you done any additional work on this or do you have plans around this?

@ballle98 Yes, their is a lot of work done around using IAQ touch for PDA panels that support that protocol. I basically decided it was best to move the whole PDA support to the IAQ protocol. That way newer PDA panels that do NOT have iAqualinkTouch devices connected can use the IAQ for AqualinkD and PDA also the Jandy PDA remote and not have conflicts. It's all in the latest dev branch. set device id to 33 and panel type to a PDA panel, and it'll start using IAQ touch protocol for PDA. There is still a lot of errors / work that needs to be complete though.

device_id=0x33
panel_type = PD-8 Combo

BTW, the latest Dev branch also has Home Assistant discovery included. ( I think you're using HA now ). I'll be posting an update soon.

mqtt_hassio_discover_topic = homeassistant

These will also be needed to test that HA

force_SWG = yes
force_PS_setpoints = yes
force_Frzprotect_setpoints = yes
convert_mqtt_temp_to_c = no

FYI I just pushed the wiki update for the next release, that has the HA details in it

OK the output from serial logger and comments in aqualinkd.conf pushed me down a bad direction. I had set up as PDA with itouch instead of itouch without PDA like below. Setting device_id=0x33 works

Note: There are several things broken in IA touch (heater setpoints are not working, etc.)

device_id=0x60
panel_type_pda = yes

# The ID for extended settings to allow for faster programming
# VARIABLE SPEED PUMP are only supported with this option.
# Do not enable this if you don't use either, you'll just waste memory and cpu cycles
# Valid ID's are 0x40, 0x41, 0x42 & 0x43. for ONE Touch
# Valid ID's are 0x30, 0x31, 0x32 & 0x33. for Aqualink Touch
extended_device_id=0x33


# If you have extended_device_id set, then you can also use that ID for programming some features.
# This means that you can turn things on/off while AqualinkD is programming certian features.
# If you are using Aqualink Touch protocol for extended_device_id then this is highly recomended
# as it will speed up programming substantially. if One Touch it's 50/50.  
extended_device_id_programming = yes

Using 0x33 as the main ID, is not ready for prime time, (message above), hence it’s not documented in wiki or config. There is a lot broken / not fully tested in that mode.

Using 0x33 as the extended ID, will be ignored if in PDA mode / pda panel.
(I do need to update documentation, as it was only recently I was made aware that some PDA panels do actually support 1 iAqualink touch protocol at ID 0x33)

the future for PDA panels that can support 0x33 (rev 6 or newer), will be to use 0x33 as the main ID and drop 0x60 all together. But that’s taken a backseat at the moment while I refactor some other code to make that easier.
