Support for changing variable speed pump settings.
Would it be possible to change the GPM or RPM of a pump like you can in the Intelicenter app?
I would like to automate the pump speed.
This should be feasible... I would have to look in more details as some code that @dwradcliffe contributed to see if that could interface. I have been a bit nervous about getting so low level with the integration. Not sure what you mean by "automating the pump speed". I know that for my spa the installer created a "virtual circuit" mapping a high speed setting to a "circuit" that appears in Home Assistant as a switch (once the circuit is declared as a feature). It is not as fine grained as setting the exact value go the RPM/GPM but does the job very well for my use case. Would that be an option?
I didn't think about creating virtual circuits. So I can create "scenes" in the pool controller and call them with HA? I'll look into it and let you know.

I wanted to be able to control pump speed, too. So virtual circuits are scenes? I have been looking for a taxonomy for the Intellicenter capabilities.

@roopesh I was able to get it to work by making virtual circuits...which work like scenes.
For example with my pool pump I made one that runs the pump at high for cleaning, one that has the pump at med speed, and one for low speed to run at night.
Then I set my automatons in HA for when to turn on each circuit.

I did similar but the downside is that Features don't support heater(s).
The heater is supported as a water heater in Home Assistant. I never went and made more circuits for different speeds. I just use the intellicenter app if i want to change pump speed at this point.
