Looks like Google no longer supports Hayward. See picture from Hayward support.

Thanks for the quick reply! I saw that earlier, but Step 2 doesn't work: there is no option in the Google Home app to connect Hayward or Omni or Omnilogic. I have over a dozen different smart home tools running through Google Home, so I know how to connect them - Hayward is not an option sadly...

Hayward's site says that they have Google Assistant / Google Home Support? See here: Better Automation However, when I search in my Google Home App, I see no option to link Hayward or Omni. Does anyone know if/how Hayward and Google home can connect? And if so, what voice commands work?

Thanks for the quick reply, @1poolman1! Our Hayward pump has been giving some intermittent issues lately, so I could see us needing to replace it before long. Because of that, the Attendant is somewhat attractive as we could go with a less expensive or better reviewed pump down the road rather...

I won't be getting the chemical autodosing components. Wondering if a Hayward OmniPL is a better shot (slightly cheaper)...

@cuttingedgepool Are you still liking The Attendant? I'm considering getting one, but there aren't that many reviews out. We have a basic pool/spa combo with solar and gas heating. I won't be getting the chemical autodosing components. Wondering if a Hayward OmniPL is a better shot (slightly...
