Complete Plug-and-Play solution. No wiring modifications required
General questions regarding the ECC
Over the years we’ve developed numerous software programs that make the Waiter ECC what it is; A plug-and-play solution to replace a failed Intellitec ECC system that requires no setup or intervention by the user; just plug it in and Continue reading Do you have any plans to release your source code to open source?
Yes you can. WaiterControl is the WiFi network access point that’s built into the main touchscreen. This network doesn’t have an “Internet” connection, it’s used solely for communication between the Waiter ECC control modules and the touchscreen. The control module, Continue reading I see a WiFi network call WaiterControl, can I log onto that network?
Generally, yes, we’ve shipped units outside the United States and haven’t run into any countries that forbid this product. HOWEVER: There will be additional fees associated with shipping, plus possible import duties, fees, and tariffs imposed by your country. Here’s Continue reading I don’t live in the U.S. Can you ship to my country
ABSOLUTELY – Node-RED, OpenHAB, HomeAssistant, etc. You need to connect your device to the WaiterControl SSID. You can then subscribe and publish to the MQTT broker at 192.168.50.10. All the MQTT messages are described in detail in the TECHNICAL MANUAL
YES / NO. You said “Control Module”. The Waiter ECC control circuit board does not come with an enclosure. The circuit board in our kit is designed to replace the existing circuit board in the original Intellitec ECC enclosure. So Continue reading Can I buy just the WaiterECC control module
Technically, yes, We don’t have a smartphone app for this and haven’t heard of anyone developing one yet. The firmware in our Waiter ECC circuit board is hard coded to search for and log onto the WaiterControl SSID. It then Continue reading Could I use my own smarthome computer to control the ECC
Absolutely NOT. While designing the WaiterECC system, we knew many installations wouldn’t have access to an internet connection, so we created our own dedicated WiFi access point (AP) that doesn’t require an internet connection. The Waiter ECC touch screen computer Continue reading Do I need Internet access to make this work?
Absolutely; If you’re familiar with IoT and MQTT, then you have the basic knowledge on how the Waiter ECC communicates. The only restriction is, the controller circuit board is looking for a very specific SSID (WaiterControl) and a very specific Continue reading I’m knowledgeable about electronics and software, Can I create my own operator interface?
The Waiter ECC is designed specifically so its wiring, connectors, A/C and furnace interfaces, and control logic are essentially a drop in, plug and play replacement for the Intellitec control system. HOWEVER, we’re interesting in creating a solution for other Continue reading My motor home doesn’t use an Intellitec controller. Can I use your system to replace mine?
YES / NO: NO – To make the Waiter ECC system simple to install and plug and play compatible, we designed our system as a stand alone computer system, with a dedicated operator touchscreen, no applications to download or install, Continue reading Can I control the Waiter ECC with my smart phone?
