What steps will reproduce the bug?
There appear to be two sensor reporting errors that relate to the salt cell on my system.
- current output is reported as equal to the setpoint (8% in my case) even though the water in the pool is too cold for the cell to be running (water is 53 degrees currently and the red "cold water" LED is illuminated on the cell itself)
- the salt required to reach the setpoint is reported as zero even though the most recent salt concentration is reported as 2850 and the target level is 3400
The additional information section below shows the current dump of the chlorinator state, showing the details.
What happens?
As above

Sometimes the salt cell doesn't report when it is below the freeze temp. Thus, we won't get the proper updates. But the way we would know is to upload a packet capture. Then we can look at the actual packets and see what is really being reported.
