I'm looking to add automation to my pool setup, but I can't seem to find a lot of information (particularly on Hayward automation products - I'm not tied to Hayward, but I do have a Hayward pump and heater). I don't plan on contracting out to do the work (I intend to DIY the automation upgrade).
In general, what I'm looking for:
Ability to control automation from smartphone (iOS)
Set heater temp and mode (pool/spa/standby)
Set pool pump speed (preferably specific speed/%, but selecting from 4 pre-sets would probably be fine)
Control 3-4 valves
Control pool and spa light
Control external lighting
Built-in sub-panel is a plus (I currently have a 30amp sub-panel but want to upgrade to 60amp)
Ideally also test pH and dispense acid/FC and dispense bleach (note I do not have a SWG and don't really want to switch to one, but would consider it if there are no other options)
Does anyone have suggestions for where I should research/find resources, or other suggestions on automation solutions that would work?
