When my pool was built all of my lights were wired onto one relay. I have 12 feet of sheer deescent led waterfalls and want to be able to turn them off/on separately from the pool/spa lights. I purchased a tork tpx300 and mock connected everything yesterday but when flipping on the lights in the Jandy app nothing happened.

I have attached a pic of my jandy box without the wiring to the transformer connected, but for example it was connected to relay 5 in the picture. I guess my question is - do I need another gfci breaker to connect to relay 5 or am I overthinking it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

In the picture the Aux5 relay is the last one on the right of the lower row. There is no power (line from a breaker) on either terminal 1 or 3, therefore no power to 2 or 4 and whatever is connected there when the relay is activated. If that is the relay you used then yes, you need another GFCB to power it.

Thats exactly what I thought. In reality
 
What else is on the current light gfci breaker? A 20 amp circuit at 120v can handle 2400 watts. You should be able to daisy chain from the line side of the current light relay to the line side of the additional light relay to power them both from the single breaker. The neutral from the current light transformer will land on the gfci load neutral. You will need to pull that and pigtail them under a wire nut and land the tail back on the gfci breaker.(only 1 wire per breaker terminal)
