My journey to automation was using the VSF3 to control lights and a salt cell. At some point it became too cold and I added the Intellichem. I have 2 water features I manually turn valves with. Long story short, I outgrew my 2 relays on the I/O board which served me well for months.

I just installed an Intellicenter. Simple question - can those I/O board relays not be used now? I can still access the VSF via the App, but it says it’s under automation control.

I see no options in the Intellicenter to address the relays via that RS485 comm link to the pump. Is it simply not possible?
 
V,

To use the relays in the pump's relay card, the pump would need to be disconnected from the IntelliCenter.. The relay card was meant as an option when you do not have an automation system.. It was not designed to be used with an automation system.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Thanks Jim, I suspected as much! It was a good cheap alternative to a full blown automation center but now that I have an Intelicenter, there’s no going back! Thanks again!
