Automation/controller recommendation

[kupermanp]

So I'm adding a heater (aquacal superquiet) and as often happens with me once I start one project I've been thinking of upgrading my other stuff

What I would like to do is have remote access and control of

1) Pump
2) Heater
3) Pool Light
4) Spa jets
5) integration of the SWG
6) Ideally I'd like to get some email or text alert one something goes wrong
7) Feedback on pool temp, ORP and PH (my SWG monitors all this for me)
8) Programable (but aren't they all)


Right now I have
1)pump-intelliflo VS -just installed this yesterday and love it so far
2) heater- aquacal superquiet
3) Pool light - intellibright LED 12V
4) jets- Some cheap blower on a hard swith (110)
5) SWG- Autopilot total control

I have old school valves so I'm not sure if I'm up to replacing those to change the way the plumbing is (and to be honest I don't really need to).

Anyone have any ideas. I'm totally fine with doing the plumbing and electrical work (I installed the SWG and redid the panel once before), so I'd like to be able to install it myself

Thanks

Since you have the Intelliflo and the Intellibrights I'd suggest the Pentair automation system. It matches more of your equipment.

will that play nice with me SWG and heater?

According to the Autopilot manual it will.

Thats good enough for me

Will the screenlogic 2 control that aquacal? i heard that it can't control the temp but can show status. I am still looking for the answer.

The Aquacal manual looks like it can be configured for an external thermostat. If you set it up that way the Pentair system would control temp via a relay and their supplied sensor and ScreenLogic would work.

According to Pentair, it can be controlled temperature wise.

Yes, I read that but they are sold out. $100 difference really isn't that much to avoid the screen logic program and have mismatched equipment. I would try it but they don't even have a when to expect them date.
