    Best way to go automated?

    We do have a cover. I'd like to see the cost/benefit of keeping a minimum pool temp over time. I'd also like to know how long the HP needs to run to hit a desired temp. We've been operating on-demand. I basically start running the HP at least 24 hours before we plan on doing a pool day. There...

    Yes. It was the first time he had wired one and I feel like we paid for his education. But he also came out right away to do it which is nearly unheard of in my area and ultimately did a really nice job. The only issues so far are: 1) the Hayward control panel kind of sucks. There's definitely...

    Best way to go automated?

    Just got everything set up to run through the OmniLogic app. So far so good. Question: is there anyway to see how much my heater is running? It's not built in; is there anything aftermarket or a plug-in from a third party that can measure my daily/total heater run time? We're pretty conscious of...

    OmniPL is installed and working nicely. It was not cheap but I'm really glad we went that route. I'll probably add some actuators down the road. Thanks for the help everyone!

    Sorry I meant chlorine. Are you able to monitor chlorine and adjust the SWG automatically? We take long trips and this would be golden (last time I got home and found out I'd set it way too high).

    This is great, thank you! I've got some work to do research wise. I put the sub panel installation on hold; the electrician agreed and said he'd be up for the install if I supply the hardware. I might call a pool company too and see what they say. I was wondering about the Swimpure. That's...

    Thank you!! I think you just saved me from a very expensive decision that I would have later regretted. If you're ever in south florida I definitely owe you a beer.

    Right, so if I use that then I don't necessarily even need the secondary subpanel right? While I'm rewiring everything I might as well just run it through the ProLogic board? Literally every dollar I would be spending tomorrow could be going to that control board.

    Wow ok. Thank you! We're scheduled for tomorrow; maybe I need to re-schedule and look into it a little bit more. The only thing though is that where I live it's impossible to get on the schedule for contractors. The wiring in the sub panel right now is incorrect and there's a terminal that's...

    Best way to go automated?

    Awesome thank you guys! I kind of got grandfathered into Hayward products so it looks like the Omni Hub might be the way to go. It's wayyy more than I was expecting given my experience with my other WiFi/Z-wave switches around the house. One last question: I'm having the sub-panel that runs...

    Best way to go automated?

    Awesome thank you! I have a Hayward pool heater; do you know if I'll be able to set the temp with the IntelliConnect? Or is it just on/off for the heater? It does look like it has terminals for a remote control.

    Thank you! Updated sig, I'll try to attach pic here. Not concerned about Google Home integration, priority is to be able to set daily schedules and if there's a computer/app/WiFi integration that would be a nice bonus. Don't care about salt cell, reading pool temp, air temp, etc. just switching...

    Best way to go automated?

    Hi! Just bought a house with a pool (our first one!!!) We have a basic Intermatic timer for the pool pump and a Hayward EasyTemp pool heater. I'd LOVE to be able to set different daily schedules for each (we heat it more on the weekends) and if possible be able to control it all with a computer...
