New pentair home app

[Kapncanada]

Has anyone tried the migration to see if it breaks this? I love Controlling with HA but they say I have to move it before their servers go down.

Any ideas?

I'm also wondering that...

My pool is still closed for the winter, but I migrated to the Home app, and my air temperature sensor is still reading from my IntelliCenter in Home Assistant. Not a lot of data to go on, but it appears that at least it's not completely broken.

Hello. I would like to know as well.

Everything is working fine for me after migrating to the Home app and using the latest HA integration. Pentair did screw up the flying changes on pump control with the home app but fixed it in the last app update.

Everything is working for me except for the lights. Neither the individual lights nor my light group for all seem to work.

[rdgerken]

My light groups work fine (have not tried individual) from intellicenter integration. In the home app though, I'm still having trouble getting pump circuits to work properly. For example, my pool circuit is set to run 30 gpm. I have a high speed circuit configured to run at 50 gpm. In the home app, when I turn on the high speed circuit to override the pool circuit, it does nothing. It just refuses to turn that circuit on. I've also seen a few times where the app gets out of sync with the actual states. Overall, pretty disappointing... as usual.

My lights don't work either. We'll sort of, when I'm turning on a light or change the colour, the system will quickly turn the light off on the HA UI but it's actually still on and shows on the pentair home app.

@Kapncanada - nice catch. Yes, that is what mine is doing as well. It worked perfectly for a yr prior but after upgrading I'm getting the same behavior. That seems really weird that upgrading an app on my phone would impact my HA integration, so it must be doing something else behind the scenes in addition to just the app itself. Super annoying but thanks for identifying the workaround.

[Kapncanada]

Not the best work around, as I'd like to use HA exclusively. But for now I hardly use my lights anyway, hoping a fix can come soon.

After upgrading to v1.5 of the integration my lights were no longer working for me either. I haven't upgraded to the new Pentair Home app so it definitely wasn't that. I rolled back to v1.4 of the integration and lights are working again. Guess I will stick with that unless/until lights are confirmed fixed in a newer release.

I finally upgraded to v1.5 and my lights didn't work in Home Assistant. They would turn on outside, but the switch in home assistant would immediately turn off and I could not turn them off from Home Assistant. That's too bad because it was nice to see the circuit groups added for my grotto waterfall and my waterslide.

Downgraded back to v1.4 and the lights worked again. The circuit groups weren't a huge deal because I created scenes that turned the entire group (couple of diverters and pump speeds) on or off (scene for on and a scene for off). I created custom switches, so they could be an on/off toggle switch in home assistant, but the only way to show the switch was on was to tie it to the pump speed (have separate pump speeds for waterfall and waterslide). The downside is that if I decide to use the waterfall pump speed for something else and only switch that on, it shows the waterfall switch as on, even though the waterfall is not actually on. This workaround still works as I am the only one with access to the individual pump speeds on a dashboard, but still a minor annoyance.

You could try installing dwradcliffe's fork: https://github.com/dwradcliffe/intellicenter

Looks like it might have some fixes missing from this one. Per this comment it sounds like this issue might be fixed in that repo: dwradcliffe#6 (comment)
