Feature Request - Jandy WaterColors Color Modes

[subcritical71]

I've been using this successfully for a long while now and it has been bulletproof, thank you for your doing this project and it has been a life saver for me!

I do have a request. I recently had all 7 of my Pentair GloBrites go out after only 3 years of pool operation. They all failed within months of each other. I decided not to throw $4K+ at Pentair for another 3 years of operation so I switched over to Jandy WaterColors. Everything was straight forward and no changes were needed to get things working. However, the color palette and light changing philosophy is not the same as the Pentair lights. I may have missed the option, but is there a way to use the Jandy color palette in the 'Type' options for Aux-Ckts?

The only issue I see is that the Pentair and Jandy lights have a different philosophy on color changes. Pentair has you cycle a set number of times to attain a particular color, for instance, Blue is always 8 power cycles. Jandy on the other hand has you change only the difference from where you are. So if you are on Caribbean Blue and want to Spring Green (only one away in the pattern) then you would only cycle the power once.

To sync the lights, while the lights are on, turn off for 5 sec, then back on. This will reset lights to Alpine White color mode.

Jandy Palette
Alpine White -> Sky Blue -> Cobalt Blue -> Caribbean Blue -> Spring Green -> Emerald Green -> Emerald Rose -> Magenta -> Violet -> Slow Color Splash -> Fast Color Splash -> America The Beautiful -> Fat Tuesday -> Disco Tech

It looks like we started this at some point, but didn't finish. Pull the main code from https://github.com/tagyoureit/nodejs-poolController and it should work.

Thanks for updating that. The watercolors are now selectable and I do get a color palette now.

The issue I seem to be having is that whenever the lights are on and I select a different color to go to, the sequencing seems to be fine (number of relay on/offs between current color and desired color are correct). But the last relay cycle takes around 5sec which then resets the lights to position 1 (Arctic White). I'm not sure why that last relay cycle is taking so long to complete(?)

Ok, pull again. There was some logic that was assigned to watercolors, but the number of patterns and theme names aligned with the pool tone lights. So I made a copy and adjusted to 14 patterns and it will start with Alpine White if there is no known pattern. You may want to manually set you lights to that color and then test with the new logic.
