Need help getting my Screen logic connected. Was told I needed an adapter to connect ethernet to Starlink but it didn't fit, then I noticed Gen3 has two ethernet connections built in unlike Gen2. Was also told it wouldn't work with 5.0 internet, that I needed 2.4. Starlink Gen3 has the ability to split into both so I did that. Still no connection. Also could not connect remotely. This is new pool so hopefully I'm missing something easy?
 
C,

ScreenLogic basically does not like anything new.. I'd try connecting ScreenLogic to an old NetGear switch/hub and then connect the hub to the Starlink..

Also, you have to run ScreenLogic as the Administrator.

Not sure that will help, but it is worth a try.

Thanks,

Jim R.
 
Welcome to TFP.

Why was an obsolete EasyTouch system installed in a new pool instead of a modern IntelliCenter?

The IntelliCenter network connectivity was greatly improved.

Pentair announced the following in April 2023:

Pentair is discontinuing the IntelliTouch, EasyTouch, and EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Pool Control Systems. These products will no longer be available to order starting:

  • July 31, 2023 for all IntelliTouch Systems
  • September 29, 2023 for all EasyTouch Systems
We recognize these products have been in high demand for many years. However, given advancements in Pentair innovation and evolving industry demands, we are transitioning focus to the latest technology standards included with the IntelliCenter Pool Control System.

Pentair FAQ:

What control system should I order?
The recently updated IntelliCenter and IntelliCenter Lite Control Systems are the flagship automation products at Pentair, with both systems offering best-in-class technology and the most versatile control for most pool types.

Will warranties still be honored for my customers’ existing control system?
Warranty and replacement parts will be honored as available per our standard warranty policy. For more information, please review the EasyTouch and IntelliTouch FAQs.

Will obsolete products continue to be supported?
Products moved to obsolete status will continue to be supported under warranty. Pentair will replace legacy systems under warranty with comparable equipment while parts are available. If replacement parts are unavailable for existing systems under warranty, the IntelliCenter Upgrade Kit for EasyTouch, EasyTouch PL4/PSL4, and IntelliTouch systems may be required.

That's a great question, I didn't realize that was the situation. It's a pretty expensive pool and I just assumed I was getting up to date equipment. I guess I'll be calling the builder tomorrow, luckily I haven't submitted all the payments so hopefully I'll have an Intellicenter system soon. Is there anyone who can verify Starlink with Gen3 router will easily connect to Intellicenter?

While I have not done it, from what I know of the Screenlogic networking issues, and the way the IntelliCenter works, you should not have a problem.

The IntelliCenter has a RJ45 socket on the PCB to hard wire it to your router. Or you can use the 900MHZ wireless bridge to connect to your router.
