I created a feature circuit "Pool Valve". I assigned valve A to it. When Pool Valve is on, the pool jets are on. Spa Mode no longer turns on the actuator to the spa jets. Activating the spa jets is now in multiple steps vs. one. Please let me know if I'm missing something.

Why do you need to turn on Spa mode?
Yiu do not have a spa.
You have a pool with alternate jets.
Pressing the Spa mode was an easy way to turn on the spa jets and increase the pump speed at the same time. The name of the button I push isn't really relevant. It's just the path with minimal friction to turn the spa jets on and increase pump speed all from the top of the dashboard. Is that what you're asking?

Selecting “Pool Valve” circuit does all of that without pressing Spa Mode.
What does selecting Pool Valve alone not do for you?
It doesn't turn on the spa jets at a high rpm. Turning off Pool Valve only turns the spa jets on.
Is there a chance the actuator is set up backwards? I was watching tutorial on programming the actuator. For our pool, 24 is spa jets and 0 is the pool jets.

Set the desired pump speed for the Pool Valve feature circuit.
Is the spa jet pipe to the left or right of the actuator?
It is builder malpractice to not label all pipes with their function and flow direction.
It's rubbed off some, spa jets are to the left

0 shuts off pipe A and all water flows to B.
24 shuts off pipe B and all water flows to A.
24 shuts off pipe B and all water flows to A.
I figured out how to change the home position for the actuator. (In Auto Mode, hold red and yellow buttons down together while the light moves to yellow. You still have to program the numbers in the same order, but it switches to where the 2nd number is the home position.) This will make things much easier. I'll rename the valve to Spa Jets and set the rpms high. Thanks for all your help!
I am getting this error message. Are valves not allowed in feature groups?

Dunno.
What are your other curcuit groups?
I realize you are trying to set everything for one buttons but I would if you want Spa Jets with Blower I would press two buttons.
I think Circut Groups has lots of quirks to it.
IntelliCenter works best when you keep things simple.
