Compool to Easy Touch Upgrade with 2 VSF pumps

[khaven]

Hi, finally getting back to setting up automation after MAJOR repairs to my 25 year old spa. A few questions:
1. Can I control 2 VSF pumps (filter & jets) using the single RS232 port (J20)? I just need the 2 wires, green & yellow (Data+ and Data-), correct? I assume it makes no difference if the wires are run separately to J20 versus daisy chaining them from one pump to the next?
2. I bought a MasterTemp heater but it looks like all the Easy Touch can do is turn it on and off - no ability to control the temperature settings?
3. I got the Screen Logic option - what iPhone/iPad app do I use for pump/heater control? On the App Store I see Screen Logic Control, and also Screen Logic Config. Which one, or both? The Pentair Home app won't let me do anything now that automation is enabled.
Thanks, Ken

Yes

Yes

Run each pump wire to J20.

One of the pump addresses needs to be changed from 1 to 2 on the pump control panel before connecting the RS-485 line.

2. I bought a MasterTemp heater but it looks like all the Easy Touch can do is turn it on and off - no ability to control the temperature settings?

The EasyTouch provides temperature control for the MasterTemp.

3. I got the Screen Logic option - what iPhone/iPad app do I use for pump/heater control? On the App Store I see Screen Logic Control, and also Screen Logic Config. Which one, or both?

Both.

The Pentair Home app won't let me do anything now that automation is enabled.

Pentair HOME app is for IntelliCenter and other new Pentair products. It does not support the EasyTouch which has been discontinued.

Perfect, thanks so much!
So the heater is connected to J20 along with the pumps, then?

No, EasyTouch does not support the RS-485 control of the MasterTemp. That requires the IntelliCenter.

Use the firemans switch heater connection.
