It obviously depends on several factors... how computer savy are you, is there a place where you can install the Screen Logic 2 interface box near a communication cable from the EasyTouch, is there an ethernet cable or WiFi bridge near where the Screen Logic interface will be sited, and are you comfortable opening the EasyTouch panel to set it up? $500 to install this does seem steep to me. If your equipment pad is near the house, it could be as simple as running some 4-wire twisted pair cable (or CAT5e/6) from the pool pad into the house near your WiFi router. You hook the Screen Logic interface box (which is a bridge between the RS485 protocol that the EasyTouch uses to communicate and the ethernet protocol that your computers use) into a communications port on the EasyTouch, and an ethernet cable also plugs into the interface box. Then, you access the interface with a computer that is connected to your home LAN via the Screen Logic 2 software. Conceptually, it sounds very simple. The directions for installing the Screen Logic 2 kit also seem very straightforward, but this may involve some tweaking of your router's parameters to get this to work with an iPhone or other device outside of your LAN via the internet (e.g. opening ports, etc).
