# pentair-exporter

## Description

Export Pentair pool status to Influx DB so that it can be graphed with Grafana. To be run as a cron job.

Uses [screenlogicpy](https://github.com/dieselrabbit/screenlogicpy) python script to access the Pentair pool data.

As `screenlogicpy` creates deeply nested JSON objects and Influx DB only handles single depth Json objects, the objects that I am interested in are flattened in the function `publish_pentair_data`.

The following objects are created:

* Object for each **body** of water, eg Pool and Spa. The body objects contain Last_Temperature, Heat_Mode, Heat, Heat_Set_Point and Cool_Set_Point. For Heat_Mode, see enums defined in `screenlogicpy`

* Object for each **pump**. The pump object contains GPM_Now, RPM_Now and Watts_Now

* **Sensors** object, which contains each sensor and value

* **Circuits** object, which contains each configured circuit and value

## Usage

```

usage: pentair-exporter.py [-h] [-r] [--influxdb] [--influxdb_host INFLUXDB_HOST] [--influxdb_port INFLUXDB_PORT] 

                        [--influxdb_user INFLUXDB_USER] [--influxdb_pass INFLUXDB_PASS] [--influxdb_db INFLUXDB_DB] 

                        [-v]

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -r, --raw             print json data to stddout

  --influxdb            publish to influxdb

  --influxdb_host INFLUXDB_HOST

                        hostname of InfluxDB HTTP API (default: localhost)

  --influxdb_port INFLUXDB_PORT

                        port of InfluxDB HTTP API (default: 8086)

  --influxdb_user INFLUXDB_USER

                        InfluxDB username

  --influxdb_pass INFLUXDB_PASS

                        InfluxDB password

  --influxdb_db INFLUXDB_DB

                        InfluxDB database name (default: pentair)

  -v, --verbose         verbose mode - show threads

  ````

To configure as a cron job, `crontab -e`.

Recommend to run every 1 minutes, to not overload the controller.

 `* * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/pentair-exporter/pentair-exporter.py  --influxdb --influxdb_user logger --influxdb_pass pass`
