Just another testament to how great this community is. Reporting back that this was exactly the problem. It took much longer than it should have due to a stripped and rusted nut but when I eventually removed it there was a definite need of cleaning. For all I know the sudden use after years...

This is like owning a boat! Everything was working when I replaced the thermistor. However the old keypad’s up button didn’t work. I ordered the keypad mentioned (thanks!) and very carefully installed it. I did remember the twist. Now all the buttons work. Hooray! But wait.. now when it...

Thanks everyone for your help on this. I finally was able to install the replacement thermistor yesterday and everything fired up perfectly. No SF code. I had a temperature readout and no other errors. The water is around 76 degrees and I looked forward to setting it to 80-82. Imagine my...

Just to be clear, are we talking about the high/low limit sensors (which I had mentioned we tested and confirmed to have continuity) or a separate sensor? Not the thermostat, right? The manual states: "Electronic heaters are manufactured with an integrated thermostat and ignition control that...

Hi Jayhova, I had this too when my robot didn't want to climb walls with much enthusiasm. Overall performance didn't seem like day 1. I don't know how may cycles you've run or how much your robot picks up, but completely cleaning out the impeller area fixed this for me. Afterwards, no...

Wall-E the S300i recently got lazy and would not climb up the wall more than a foot or two. Then it just gave up and moved on across the floor. At first I stuck my finger down the impeller area and pulled out some silky gunk but it didn't help. Then I followed the directions for removing...

Sorry for being oblivious that this thread had activity. I would definitely try the custom device handler if you aren't doing this already. Also, depending on the order of pairing the device, connecting the wires, activating the wires, etc, it may be helpful to reset the device. I had to do...

Hi everyone, We haven't tried using the heater since we inherited the pool with the house we just purchased. There was never a guarantee the heater worked, just the rest of the equipment. It's a Hayward H400ED2 electric ignition from 2004. When I tried turning it on, it gave an SF error. I...

Yes the S300i and A30i should include the caddy by default. On the model you show it appears to be extra. Obviously you would want to confirm this with any dealer you did a phone order with if you went that route.

I ordered the S300i as I had originally set out. The link you provided looks a lot like the A30i/S300i (though I think they automatically comes with a caddy). It includes the mobile phone control so I don't think it's copying a lower model. Continued to be happy with my unit through the season...

I added the device using the standard detection method. It detected it as a "Fibaro Door/Window Sensor." I may swap it out for the custom device type here: Full Support Handler - Community Created Device Types - SmartThings Community It will show more on the main display using the custom...

Bluetooth was a good fallback plan but I really wanted something that would work with IFTTT in case I add more automation to my setup. This also allows me to keep everything in an app I'm already using. Smartthings is also monitoring my door lock, motion sensors, water leak sensors (which has...

Just an update to anyone monitoring this question.. I ended up purchasing the materials that would supposedly work. Good news - they work! I created a new thread with the detail. Z-Wave / Vera / Smartthings pool temperature - Solved Have fun!

Others and I have been asking if we could somehow see our pool temperatures using a smart home controller. I wanted to let the group know that I can confirm at least one configuration that works well. I have a Smartthings hub (v2) but apparently this works with Vera too. Not Wink, from what...

Have been away for a while but I'm glad I'm not the only person curious about this. My neighbor has a VioProducts 11000 (mediocre Amazon reviews) but it has worked well for him. Call me crazy for just wanting to be able to look on my phone to see the temperature. Quite frankly I think putting...

My setup is fairly standard with no automation (other than the traditional Intermatic timer). I've thought about replacing the timer with something Smartthings compatible but since I'm adding chlorine by hand, the pump does its thing at night and all is well. I don't see a benefit for it...

I'll have to try Target or a different Walmart. I was really shocked how much borax I needed vs what $4 was going to buy me in that little box. I'll move off of the HTH pH adjusters when I run out of the current bottle assuming I'm successful. I'm not sure what the price is supposed to be...

I was considering Johnny 5 (Short Circuit) for our S300i but my wife really liked Wall-E. It seemed appropriate since she enjoys seeing it climb up the walls and scrub across the waterline. The cats watch this indoors from the window with equal parts fascination and utter horror.

Failed to include my signature on the middle post but it was on the first post. I'll look for the checkbox next time I post on mobile. Duly noted on the acid and liquid chlorine warnings. What may end up happening is I put the dry stuff in the shed and get a small box to put just inside the...

Just to clarify, I am not using muriatic acid due to sensitivity. Other than the bleach my other adjusters are dry pellets. Even then the bleach would be on the floor level and the pellets on a shelf. I figured the test kit needed to live indoors but thankfully that's the smallest. Having...

Hi everyone, I'm looking at getting a small resin garden shed to put near the pool. It's a bit of a pain to trudge to the garage to get brushes, toys, the test kit, chemicals, the pool robot, etc. However, northwest Ohio still gets warm in the summer (nearly a week and a half of high 80s and...

I used mine again and one part of the cord did get a twist in it like your picture. Fortunately for me there is still plenty of slack available despite the twist and it didn't affect the overall cleaning cycle. It will be something I start watching a bit closer but so far it isn't an issue...

I can't say for sure but I'd be surprised. They seem to have it down to a system. They see refillables and disposables. The refillables are already filled so they just take your old empties and quickly swap you with filled containers. However, if you were interested in filling a much larger...

I'm not aware of multiple cleanings per day versus a weekly cleaning schedule. I drag the robot out of the garage, run the cycle, take it out, hose it off, then place it back into storage. CBB77 posted a review here and also talked only about weekly cleaning schedules. He might be a better...

I've only recently received my S300i and on the first cycle it got stuck on the drain and the wedding cake steps. However, both times it figured it out and corrected itself within 20 seconds or so. In subsequent uses I've just set the cycle and walked away. In all cases it completed the cycle...

I was about to order from Atlas in GA but my last call was to a dealer in Livonia, MI (Discount Pool & Spa). Spoke quite a while with Mark who gave me a lot of feedback on both the S300i and the M400/500. Like many others' experience here, he spoke highly about the M series due to the center...

I wanted the flexibility of multiple cycle times though I'm sure I'll use the 2.5 hour cycle the most. I had spent a lot of time reading before choosing the S300i and I didn't know what the differences were in that and the Discovery (also I ended up purchasing the unit before reading much about...
