Alexa Interface to Pentair ScreenLogic

[Ingrid K]

I have a rental, and use Alexa for the renters to access the spa (I do not want to give them full ScreenLogic access). Today, the Alexa skill stopped working. I had this 3 months ago, and I fixed it by delinking and relinking my account. I tried that today, and the Skill was attempting to access the pentairpoolsso.com site, which was gone (for sale by GoDaddy!). Any thoughts on what is going on or what I should do? It appears to be an issue on the Pentair side.

For full disclosure, my set up Pentair Easy Touch = > Wireless to a Screen Logic 2 (use the app to control) <=> Alexa Pentair ScreenLogic Skill

As a secondary question, the Alexa link is nice but not always robust, are there any other suggestions of a better configuration for my setup?

Thanks!

Welcome to TFP.

Have you called Pentair Support to see what they say about the missing site?

It sounds like that Alexa skill was developed by a third party and not Pentair.

For a rental, the Pentair spaside remote mounted anywhere on the property is a great solution. It doesn't have to be in the spa tile like you'll see in all the marketing photos. I've mounted them on fences and even inside the home e.g. at the back door leading to the spa. Reliable buttons to turn things on and off. You can't turn the pool heat on or off though - only the pool pump. What are you controlling? Pool and spa combo? Just a spa?
