I had my PB rewire the Jandy heater I got last year from a 2 wire set up to a 4 wire set up today. I had believed there were some advantages to doing this with regards to function and diagnostics. That said, I can’t see a single thing different in my iAquaLink app. What am I missing? Is there something that should look different? Do I need to put the heater into a different mode in the settings? Everything seems to be working fine. Heater fires up for pool heat or spa heat when I tell it to on the app but that’s not different than when it was a 2 wire setup. Thanks!

With the RS-485 four wire smart setup you don’t have to set your heater to its maximum setting of 104 degrees. The setpoint on the heater display will now match what temp you have the Aqualink set to. And if you have a spa the heater will now display either the spa temp setting or the pool setting depending on which heat mode is selected on the Aqualink.
So you get more representative information on the heater display itself, but from the Aqualink user interfaces it looks the same as before. You will also get some diagnostic feedback to the Aqualink system should the heater have any faults.

Are you talking about the “Smart” Communication via RS-485?
NOTE: Only an AquaLink® RS System with firmware revision “N”, or higher, will support the heater interface. Refer to Table 6 along with Figure 18 and Figure 19 to determine the REV of your system’s firmware. If it is “N” or higher, continue with these procedures. If it is MMM or lower, follow the procedures in Section 7.2 for connecting to a remote TSTAT
What Rev level is your Aqualink?
The manual does not give any indication that anything is different with that connection.

I was writing that to @Pperc15 as you were posting.
I see little operational difference with the "Smart" interface other then some diagnostics if the heater barfs.
Yes thanks, this is the information I was looking for. If the heater has an issue, where does the diagnostic information get displayed within the Aqualink app or web interface?
