It's not clear whether "upsize our home" means moving to another house with pool, or building one for your current home. If the latter, this new thread will be of interest:

Hello TFP community! Im grateful for everyone’s questions and contributions on this site, it has been highly educational. My wife and I are thinking about having a pool built and I wanted to ask the community about things (small and large) you would do differently if you had a chance to do it...

Connect the indoor unit directly to your home network router port switch.
Connect the outdoor unit using the provided CAT5 cable to the POE dongle and the Ethernet jack on the PCB.
You should see the LEDs flashing as the two units make a connection.
Then do the Internet Connection Test on the outdoor panel.
See page 85 in https://www.pentair.com/content/dam...als---user-docs/intellicenter-users-guide.pdf
Do not do "Connect to Wireless Network"
If using the Pentair High Power Wireless Link kit skip to the Internet Connection Test. It should show you are connected.
Then register the user using the OCP. Once you pass the Internet Connection Test then On Add New Account . They don't need to know your address. Put in your email, name, and password and press the check on the upper right. See if it asks for anything else. Give it the minimum they require.
Then Login to Existing Account to connect your panel to the Pentair servers in the cloud.

+1. You may have found a mostly still relevant thread, but threads from 2007 are also 'older than 60 days'. 
(Or anywhere in between).
And a great deal of it didn't age well. As a forum constantly shaped by member experiences, we'll even contradict ourselves. (I'm looking at YOU, Dolphin.) They were the gold standard, until they became more of a soiled brown.
There has to be a suggested cutoff and through experience, 2 months is likely into a new season of that year. Take today for example. I have a winter question, and in 2 months it's a spring question, 2 months after that it's a summer question.

I suspect that the 90 volt AC Flame Sense power is probably designed to be very weak.
If you were to connect the S1 to ground or neutral (Completing the circuit through the Hot Surface Ignitor), I suspect that the voltage would probably mostly drop out and not sustain any significant current.
Even under a 5 microamp load, the voltage drops down a lot.

Admittedly, there is a bit of a mismatch between the 60 days prompt and explanation on the thread, and the year restriction in forum rules. @Leebo
www.troublefreepool.com
We ask that you not answer posts that haven't had any activity in more than 60 days [thread note]/a year [Forum Rules] (unless you are updating your own topic). Usually the issue has been resolved even if that is not reflected in the thread. If you have a question for the originator of the thread send it by pm instead. Finally, with threads that are that old, many times the original posters have not been around since they posted on the thread (why the note on unlikely to be unread/unseen).
Starting a new thread allows us to provide the most recent guidance and resources.
We also get a fair amount of comments on old threads that are actually hijacking the thread with their own question on the same topic. We ask members to not hijack by attaching your question onto someone's thread. Start your own even if the topic is directly related. Then answers intended for you will not be confused with answers intended for someone else. This happens often, and our Mods have to spend time to unwind the intertwining...
We have found, having these rules, reduces the amount of administration our volunteer team needs to expend. We are a small team of unpaid volunteers.
