Looks like you do not have enough wires in your outlet.
You need to have power to the controller and then be able to send power (from the red wire) to the light fixture itself.

hmmm, where are you trying to connect it? That looks like a wall switch for an outside porch light.. how many wires do you have coming from the light? where are you pulling power from? it should be a GFCI breaker...

This diagram shows exactly how to connect it up http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/IntelliBriteControllerIG.pdf

That'zzz what I was seeing I need to add a true neutral and loop It into the junction box from the transformer.

I do not follow what you just said.
What is that romex in the outlet box? Power supply from the house?
If so, then you need a 120V power wire run from the outlet box to the 120V light fixture or 12V transformer box.

I wonder if the op has power on the black and the white goes to the light and the lights neutral is tied in elsewhere....
