Has anyone tried to build a power supply for their Maytronics? Mine actually works fine I just would rather be able to set my own clean schedule through a smart switch. It’s too bad the normal power supply does not start the cleaning cycle when power is applied, instead you must hit the power button first.
My current supply died as soon as I purchased it and they sent me a new one. I opened the old one to see how it worked and also took out the connector. Not sure exactly what it is all doing but I do know there are 3 wires going to the cleaner. 30VDC + - and then also one called "command".
I am interested if supplying 30VDC (180 watts) without the command line will make the unit run. It is possible all the brains of direction and what functions to perform are controlled by the power supply box, in that case it most likely would not work.
If this works then it would be possible to just hook at 30VDC supply to a smart wall switch and program it to go on and off.
