Send command to eXo

[GizzGool]

Hi Ben,
Do you think it's possible for integration to interact with the eXo's buttons?
For example, when an error is detected, such as "low salt" or "ORP problem," we have to press Enter for 5 seconds. This can lead to false alarms, especially with an older cell.
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day

I know the 5s press only too well, especially when I also had an old cell. It would drive me mad when it couldn't hit its pH target and then just stop dosing (thus making the situation worse).

I haven't had the 5s press issue since I wrote the integration, so I haven't had a chance to see what I can do when in a 5s situation... maybe there is a way.

What I used to do (and still can) is that I have a hard relay to cut the power to Exo, I found that if I cut the power for 20s it would then re-evaluate the problem, so with the pH I would set the target lower/higher (as required), and then adjust slowly down over a number of days until the unit caught up.

Thank you very much Ben, indeed that could be a solution 😀
I didn't know that the eXo "resets" itself on this point after a power cut 👏

I will have to change this cell in the future, but I really find that the prices are excessive for a few 1mm thick plates, even if they are made of titanium and coated with a few microns of ruthenium and iridium, it is not justified.
They of course play on the fact that we are stuck without the possibility of going elsewhere as for the replacement of a simple light bulb and that in principle, it 🤬🤬🤬 me and why I am also delaying the deadline a little ...
So I will definitely implement your solution at least until the end of the season 😏
