Esphome component for Clack WS1 softener with M5stack TOF sensor saltlevel detection
Relay for control of the chlorinator module from Aqmos.nl / .de and Power measurement with ina219
main: Tof1 sensor (VL53L0X) code without measurement during brine option.
tof1: Tof1 sensor (VL53L0X) code with measurement during brine option.
tof2: Tof2 sensor (VL53L1X) code with measurement during brine option
A dutch installation manual is written by ViezeVis. Visit his webpage for the document. The englisch version, you can find here
For installation of this module you need to open the clack cover, this can be achieved by gently pulling on the 2 clips on the side.
Once open, there is just enough space on the right side inside the Clack for the Clack reader PCB, but the chlorinator PCB is designed to be on the bottom
For the Distance sensor, first install the 4-wire cable through the hole were the power supply goes through, after that the wire of the power supply. The flex cable will not be in the way, when inserted first, instead of the other way around.
Connecting the module:
The power brick/adapter from the clack module will go in the middle in the power IN
A new small cable (provided to you) will go from power OUT to the clack head. (This should now power up again)
Connect the cable with the 3 loose strands to the connector on the right side with the names RLY1, COM and RLY2.
From here you have to make a choice: (it is one or the other)
This will enable you to start or postphone a regen of the wax cylinder.
For this you have been supplied a 2 pin molex cable and can be connected only on their respective spots.
This will enable you to measure the power used by the chlorinator, but also to turn the chlorinator off (This hopefully prolongs the lifespan of the titanium chlorine cell)
For this you need to take the cable that is connected to the PCB of the chlorinator and connect it to the chlorinator port of your V3. The chlorinator will now remain off In order to turn it on you need to programm the V3 (the relais is NC or Normally Closed)
NOTE:
In normal conditions this cell needs to be replaced once in a while: BE: 2 years max, NL: 3/4 years max.
With this choice hopefully it will last longer.
ToDo: Add wire diagram
