I have a Pentair EasyTouch 8. The remote will no longer communicate (address won't lock and tried all the troubleshooting stuff).
I've decided it's time to modernize and control my pool with my smart phone and Alexa.
I'm looking at the screenlogic 2 kit, but I'm having a tough time deciphering how it connects.
It seems you have two choices:
1. Run a wire into your home to connect to your router.
2. Connect an old school transmitter to the controller and another inside your home to the router.
Is Pentair really this archaic, or is there something newer?
I have terrific wifi in my yard.
What do I need to allow me to control my pool from my android device without running a cable into my home to the router or worrying about the range of some old school wireless phone type device with crappy range.
Surely I must not be understanding this correct or don't know about a newer product.
I'd appreciate any input.
Thank you.
