Help controlling lights - keep going into random mode

[heckofagator]

Hi all,

Pool lights are multi color and before were hooked up to a light switch. Its been a while but I remember it fairly easy to turn off and back on to cycle thru the color modes at the switch. I left it on solid blue and was fine with that.

We got a new Intellicenter setup and the lights are now controlled thru that as a Feature. however now I can't seem to cycle as easy thru the modes by turning them off and back on quickly. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong but I'd like to make them stop switching every few seconds and just stay on the solid blue color. I can't seem to get it off of the mode that cycles thru all of the colors.

On a side note, any idea why when the red color is on its basically like there's no light at all - the pool is totally dark. Not sure if this is the effect of the red light but seems odd to me.

thanks!

We usually recommend that you Create Your Signature with all your equipment when asking a question as it helps us understand your setup. The IntelliCenter can control Pentair colored lights like IntelliBrite and GloBrite, do you have one of these and is it set to blue as a fixed color? If so it's probably cycling through to get that color. You can change the circuit in setup to light and then it will just turn on and off (the light will retain the last color it was set to).

thanks, I've update my signature. I don't know what kind of lights are in the pool/spa now. I do know the spa lights are just white and the pool lights do have different colors, I'm just not able to easily control them.

Any tips or tricks for getting this to say set on one color would be greatly appreciated. Right now, the lights are set up as a Feature along with the spa air blower.

The IntelliCenter Users Guide is here -- https://www.pentair.com/content/dam...als---user-docs/intellicenter-users-guide.pdf

See pages 14-18.

Your lights need to be setup as an AUX Circuit, not Feature Circuit. See page 56. Check that the lights are setup as the correct type.

You can use a Feature Circuit to create a Light Group. See page 58.
