In the App > Settings > General Settings > Other Settings Thank you. I guess I'm not sure whenever I'd use that Not sure how to do this since I can only turn on the header when I turn on Pool or Spa modes. Just thinking out loud, if I activate Pool mode, turn on heat, and activate SPILLWAY by...

Now that I have everything wired correctly, hoping to have some best practices for setting up automation. Looking for critiques, advice, anything at all since this is my first time managing a pool in general. My pool is shaped like to beans with the spa in the middle and a water feature above...

Nothing else on the relay other than the 2 wires that go to the intellicenter. With the relay off the GFCI does not trip. When it turns on it does I did try using a diff relay and it still trips. Edit: I figured it out. I left a cable connected to the relay and that was tripping the relay. I'm...

Ok I got most of it working at this point. The only issue I'm running into is trying to GFCI protect the pool lights. The GFCI outlet trips whenever I turn on the lights using the relay. The Load side power of the outlet goes to the relay line. Load of the relay goes to the light and neutral...

I don't think the solder on aux connectors work. The system detects ip5. I've tried to manually change the system to show the ip10s aux's and tried using them, no luck :(

I see, I haven't researched programming yet. It sounds like I should plug the spa pump into the SPA connector and I didn't really need to solder. I just needed an extra relay. If that's the case, I'll report back anyways to let others know if soldering is the solution and would save a lot of...

I have a spa pump and blower. I assume I wouldn't be able to run both the pool and spa at the same time if I use this config because it's on or the other? On a side note, if I try soldering, do you know the size of the led that goes above the connector and what color it is? Edit: just...

@ajw22 the leads are tiny O_o lol Is there any instance where I would connect to the SPA connector on the expansion board? Maybe spa pump? Just trying to find an alternative to soldering. I'm worried I'm going to screw it up

I'll give it a try. Going to youtube the heck out of it . Did you do anything with the Bonding Lugs on the lower right exterior of the box? The spa water is about 1 foot above the ground +/- a little bit with the eyelets 7 inches below the water line. Distance from the spa to the pump and...

Thank you for the info. Just for future reference, what pump would you suggest? Additionally, what kind of blower would you recommend? I was looking at the Air Supply Silencer 1 hp. Well, bummer.. I guess I'll skip running the lights from IntelliCenter and just run them from a Kasa Switch...

Oh, its not even big enough to play in unless you're a baby. I posted a photo to give you an idea. I currently manually turn it on once every few days so it's not just standing water. Which breakers did you use for your setup? I'll post a picture below just in case. The only numbers I see that...

This is my first pool. That does make sense I would likely not have the 2 on at the same time. When do most people run their water feature? Does it run while the pool is in use, but off when the spa is in use? Filter pump and Heater on the same breaker ok? It's a small pool of water that falls...

Thank you! This is extremely helpful with bridging some of the gaps. Which breakers did you settle with, Siemens QF220 or Pentair PA220GF? I already ordered Siemens, I'm hoping I'll be ok. I was considering going from the breaker directly to the filter pump and heater to be always powered...

Want to tackle installing the IntelliCenter myself because quotes to install were outrageous. I know I void the warranty by doing it myself which is why I want to ensure I'm on the right path before embarking. I figure if done right, it will outlast the year warranty. I read through the manuals...

Thank you! Muriatic acid was the key. I was scared to use it because it was an acid. Wasn't so bad and it dropped TA faster than the 5+ bags of pH down I used...
