We just bought the house and found we have these lights in the pool and spa. I cant seem to find a controller anywhere for color, but read that you can control them by turning lights on/off for set times. I cant seem to get that to work. I was thinking about buying the controller, but was also wondering if I would be able to control through easy touch using screen logic.
 
You should set the lights to IntelliBrite in the ET.

@Jimrahbe can help with the ScreenLogic stuff.

From page 8 in https://www.poolsupplyunlimited.com/Products/Manuals/143330_2017106175925.pdf

COLOR SPLASH XG SERIES LED ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY WITH CERTAIN PENTAIR® AND JANDY® AUTOMATION SYSTEMS.Certain Pentair® and Jandy® automation systems have a mode setting for controlling “Pentair IntelliBrite® 5g LED Color” light fixtures. This setting can also be used to operate Color Splash XG Series LED light fixtures. When the Pentair and Jandy automation system is set to “IntelliBrite” mode, users will NOT see XG series proprietary colors and show names displayed on the control screen. (See J&J’s cross reference guide to assist users with selecting XG Series light shows and colors on automation systems set to “IntelliBrite” mode.)NOTE:J&J’s Color Splash XG Series LED Pool and Spa light fixtures will not synchronize with any other manufacturer’s pool or spa light fixtures


Warning!Color Splash XG Series LED lighting is NOT compatible with the Pentair®IntelliBrite® Controller (Part Number: 600054). Installation of J&J’s XG series LED light fixture with an IntelliBrite controller will permanently damage the J&J light fixture and VOID J&J’s warranty

How old is your EasyTouch? You may need a firmware update to get support for the IntelliBrite lights.
 
Would this be the how-to? I'm familiar with firmware updating and programming..think I could tackle it with the right info.

Aw Crud that's secret code... here it is in plain english...
Hey thanks Jim, unfortunately his board is an Easytouch 1 and can't be updated to the latest firmware

At this point the only options are to buy a separate stand-alone controller or swap in a new Easytouch 2 board

Hahaha

I think im going to just buy the intellitouch system. I already spent $400 on screen logic, and $1100 on IC40 and PC100. I might as well return it all (Still can), and buy the intellitouch 521905 for $2k here which has everything I need. It has everything I need for salt cell, and iPhone control:


And then probably sell the easy touch for $300 or something, right?!
 
Hi,

sorry for restoring an old thread.
I have the following:
Controller Model: EasyTouch2 8
Controller firmware: 2.160

Can i use this to control XG lights from my pool automation? I went into screenlogic and changed an AUX circuit and intellibrite was one of the choices. Anything else i need?
I haven't yet purchased anything but the pool store thought i may need a J&J electronics colorsplash bluetooth controller. I much rather just use intellitouch to control everything.

Thanks for any advice!
