Hello TFP,
I'm brand new to this forum, and a first time new pool owner (in startup phase now). I recently completed a 20k gallon pool/spa owner-build and hired a company to help with startup. Everyone is busy and not feeling like I'm getting altogether honest answers to my questions -- stumbled upon TFP seems to be a huge resource!
I have a lot of questions, but my first is on my intellicenter network setup. Normally, I would have assumed that I would just configure WiFi on the panel and there was a built-in wireless receiver. Again, while waiting very patiently on my startup company to program this thing, I just decided to upgrade the firmware and get it connected so I dont have to keep going to the panel. I got internet access using the "Screenlogic Interface Wireless Link" hooked up in my house through ethernet. That seems to effectively simulate an ethernet connection at the panel.
Are there two options to connecting to internet? The method I'm using, and WiFi? I want a second opinion on this, because I feel my equipment/set startup company will tell me what is easiest for them.
If I try to connect to WiFi, I get an error that it can't communicate with the WiFi device -- that's why I actually ended up hooking up the wireless link.
Is there a general preference to this? Depends on wifi signal? Do I need a WiFi module if I want to use WiFi?
Thanks,
Nate
