yeah - I think i'll just buy an otterbox for an old iPhone 6s - was hoping it was the same transceiver!

Hello, I was thinking of adding a wireless remote (instead of using the smartphone which can get wet with pool water). Has anyone added something like this themselves?: Amazon.com: Pentair 520691 4 Auxiliary Wireless Remote Control Replacement EasyTouch Pool and Spa Automatic Control Systems...

i have the same issue with the original protocol adapter that came with the pool. I'm thinking I should get a free replacement as the pool is only 6 months old? (warranty?) (red light died) @starrock77 - out of curosity did replacing the network board get your protocol adapter running like...

so I finally found the solution to this entire thread and 6 months saga The protocol adapter was the problem the whole time along!!!!!!!!!!!! I must have gotten a dud!!! I'm a tech guy and this was the most frustrating piece of tech to debug!! I checked all the connections at the panel over...

ok, I've done some reading of the manuals and I have a possible hunch as to what could be wrong - clearly seems to be a data communication error between the board and protocol adapter/wireless. My setup is such. I have a J7 port only - in that port is 1) the wire to the SGC surge board which...

So I tried pentair's "high gain" antenna 520639 - that did nothing - still a real flaky connection. I got it to connect once for a few minutes only. I decided to connect the protocol adapter directly to the intellitouch panel bypassing all the wireless and using ethernet - still a real flaky...

agree - but in my situation I'm already at the closest point in the house using a wi-fi extender to the pool equipment and it's about 40 feet away still. Oddly, since the initial pairing difficulties, it has remain solidly connected to the pool for several weeks now so as long as I don't...

so I got it to work and stay connected the whole day (yay!) - seems the wireless is real finnicky - might also have been something in the intellitouch panel and as the pool guy changed the com port too. Even still it took several hours of power cycling the wireless adapter and reset button on...

so we tried it with the pentiair wireless antenna kit literally 1 foot away adn further back - very occasionally it would connect and then disconnect. So I tried bypassing the wireless entirely and hooking up the Intellitocuh Panel --- protocol adapter -- ethernet -- wifi extender. I'm not...

Hello, I have a new pentair system just installed for a new pool. It has an intelliflo pump, and intellichlor (the wire is currently disconnected) and as well as smart intelli-? heater. The panel is working fine, but I cannot get the protocol adapter to communicate no matter what. It is...
