Introduction
The name of this library refers to the ProCon.IP pool controller. It is somehow a port of my procon-ip TypeScript library (available as NPM Package). As the TypeScript library was a byproduct of my ioBroker adapter for the pool controller unit, this library is primary intended for the implementation of a Home Assistant integration.
Documentation might follow. Until this please take a look at the sources. I tried to keep it simple and readable. An IDE with proper auto-completion should help understand and use the library without further documentation.
Feel free to ask questions by using github's issues system, so others can take advantage, contribute and are able to find the answer if they have a similar question. Thanks! :)
A brief description of the ProCon.IP pool controller
The ProCon.IP pool controller is a low budget network attached control unit for
home swimming pools. With its software switched relays, it can control
multiple pumps (for the pool filter and different dosage aspects) either
simply planned per time schedule or depending on a reading/value from one of
its many input channels for measurements (eg. i/o flow sensors, Dallas 1-Wire
termometers, redox and pH electrodes). At least there is also the option to
switch these relays on demand, which makes them also applicable for switching
lights (or anything else you want) on/off.
Not all of its functionality is reachable via API. In fact there is one
documented API for reading (polling) values as CSV (/GetState.csv
). In my
memories there was another one for switching the relays on/off and on with
timer. But I cannot find the second one anymore. So not even pretty, but
functional: The ProCon.IP has two native web interfaces, which can be
analyzed, to some kind of reverse engineer a given functionality (like
switching the relays).
For more information see the following links (sorry it's only in german; haven't found an english documentation/information so far):

Just to be clear: I have nothing to do with the development, sellings, marketing or support of the pool controller unit itself. I just developed a solution to integrate such with ioBroker and now decoupled the library part to make it cleaner.
