Spa OFF at Midnight

ShallowWater · Nov 28, 2022

I used to have my previous pool controlled by an Autelis Interface and Z-Wave Relays all controlled by a Vera Plus Z-Wave Controller. Using this I would have the spa automatically cool down then turn off at Midnight to Save Energy.

I'd like to repeat this in InelliCenter. Any suggestions as it looks to only have an option to turn the spa on but not to turn it off and resume normal circulation mood if inadvertently left on.

Any suggestions?

You can certainly set schedules to turn the spa on and off at times you select. Look in the Intellicenter manual for the Schedule options. You will also have to ensure that Manual Heat mode is off so that the spa schedules will control the heater.

I set the Egg Timer on the SPA circuit for 3 hours so the spa will always turn off 3 hours after I turn it on.

You can't set a specific time but you can set the Egg Timer for whatever duration so you know the Spa will turn off if left on.

When I select Manual Pages to read on the IntelliCenter2 web app I get a 404 Page Not Found error. Guess I'll need to read the paperback version.

I just set an egg timer for the spa for 4 hours. Generally the spa is less than 2 hours but sometimes it is more.

All Pentair manuals are available as PDFs on their web site. Just not via the app, I guess.

I perused the IntelliCenter Manual and there's nothing for a blanket "STOP" or "OFF". As far as I can tell, a schedule has to have both a start time and a stop time. To accomplish turning off the spa at midnight or any other specific time without regard to whether or not it is on is not something considered by the programmers of IntelliCenter so I'll just use the egg timer.
