Hello,
I've been reading into upgrading from the Aqualink PDA to iAqualink v3.

On my board, it shows B0029203 PDA PS4 Combo Rev 7.2
On the transceiver, it shows r06863000
On the PDA, it shows firmware version 7.2

What do I need to upgrade to iAqualink v3 with the ability to control scheduling through the app?
Are there any videos on the upgrade from PDA to iAqualink?
Can I just copy all the parameters that I have setup on the PDA over to the app?

Your amazon link went to a dead page (at least on my computer).
Based on the title, IQ20-RS does provide the new PCB as well as the antenna but it is the 2.0 antenna.
The IQ30-RS also provides the same PCB but they enhanced the antenna (3.0) to work with mesh routers.
I did the upgrade from PDA to the IQ30-RS. However, I had to order through a pool store and had a technician install it as that is only way to obtain the 3 yr warranty from Jandy. It is simple enough to do but Jandy takes a hardline on "professional" installation.

Once you plug in the new PCB and have all the relays connected (just unplug from old board and plug into new board), the system go through as set up based on a code that comes in each package. They you set your schedules, etc. It all manual input. Nothing is automatically transferred from the PDA.

Sorry I updated my post a few times. This is the IQ30-RS link I found elsewhere: Zodiac iAquaLink 3.0 iQ30-RS Web Connection Upgrade Kit-IQ30

I might go into Leslie's pool supply and ask them more about it. If it's around the same price or if they can price match, then I'll have them install it. Otherwise if it's 2x more I'm willing to put in some effort to it myself and forgo the warranty.

At just over $1000 that is a good price. I think I paid $1200 plus $150 for installation.
It is an easy installation - just take your time to put the plugins from old board to new board, then run the antenna. You do have to pair the antenna to your network so read up that.
