I’ve been giving this some thought as well lately. There’s even another thread on TFP discussing this topic that I’ve been following, but I haven’t seen a viable solution proposed just yet. You could hypothetically use an HVAC float switch which are very cheap, but how to wire that in to your...

Whelp, that’s good to know, as mine is definitely not plumbed like that :)

I checked my Glacier model manual and couldn’t find the requirement for the T to be vertical at the suction side of the pump. Honestly, i can’t see it making a difference if you plumb it in vertically vs horizontally to run the new PVC to the chiller outlet, particularly as you’re planning...

I skimmed the Hayward manual and believe that heater/cooler/solar config only provides for one valve designation, not two. You can check this by walking through the config on your controller. The manual does seem to only indicate one. Worst case, I believe you can splice the two valves together...

MSP v5.0 release notes are up: Release Notes R5.0.0 Only significant note is support for a Remote Configuration module to allow remote configuration changes by Hayward pool professionals. Wish this was a capability opened to consumers!

Just came across this! I’m using an Emporia Vue Gen 2 power monitor to measure the various devices in my pool. This functionality isn’t part of the omnilogic controller. Here’s a link to the Vue if it’s something you’d like to consider...

Thank you all so much! So many great shots of everyone’s pets enjoying their pools; this theme is always my favorite! Our little doxie Cocopuffs was wagging her tail and running laps when I told her the news (and begging for food) 😜 Here’s a few more of her enjoying the summertime; she...

You’re reading this correctly; you always want flow from the filter inlet through to the heater and back to the pool at all times, then only have the actuator either fully open or fully close the line out to the cooler. Depending on your plumbing, you may need to set the actuator to make a 180...

The OmniLogic has an External Input Interlock contact that can be used to configure software interlocks to shutdown equipment of your choice; maybe this is what you’re referring to? You could certainly use this to implement an emergency stop switch if you wanted to. In my example case, I have a...

The Coconuttyballs!

From what I’ve experienced of the freeze protect functionality, once the air temp crosses below the protect setpoint, the controller ignores all pump schedules and enters freeze protect mode. Once the temp the rises above the set point, it should then return to any programmed schedules. If there...

@Mpal Hayward’s cloud servers do have downtime every so often; often enough that maybe once a week I’ll see similar, where you make a control change from the app and nothing happens, or it takes 30 seconds, etc. this obviously makes diagnosing whether this is a local issue or a cloud issue...

Currently out of town so have only had a little bit of time to play with the local integration. So far it’s a great implementation; all of my equipment came in immediately, seems to have a majority of the functionality as the cloud one, plus a bit more though still missing a few niche options...

Thank you for sharing!!! Checking this out immediately.
