Button on intelliflo3 VSF pushed in error and shut pump off. iAqualink doesn't turn it on.

Hi,

I'm a newbie with this automatic control via Wi-Fi thing. Prior system was Zodiac Z4. The installation by a pool shop went very well, but while looking for a pump serial number, I managed to press an on/off button on the pump which turned it off. Pressing the button again did nothing. When I used the iAqualink app, it showed the pump to be on, and toggling it just caused a relay to flip in the control box. Nothing happened at the pump. When I called the pool shop, they said the connection between iAqualink and the Pentair Intelliflow3 VSF was broken and they would have to set it up again. No big problem, I hope, except they wouldn't tell me how to do it myself. Is there an easy fix, or at least a reasonable one, to reestablish the connection? I have no problem waiting a few days for the pool guys to show up, but it would be nice if I can improve my own pool survival skills just in case.

I would turn the breaker off for the complete AquaLink system. Wait a minute and flip it back on. This would reset everything - ie. the system will read the RS485 cable, etc.
Ensure your pump is ON (even if not running) before you hit the CB.

Also - do you know if your pump is connected electrically to always have power? It appears it may based on what you said but just want to double check.
