Pentair Intellichlor IC-40
Hello. I have a couple older (non-LED) Pentair Sam lights (color-changing) that I can't get to work properly with my new IntelliCenter. It is likely my newness with the system, but I can't find an answer in the documentation or in searching, so I'm hoping someone here understands what I'm doing wrong...

The lights turn off and on in the apps like they should, but I don't seem to have actual control of the colors. I select a color, and the lights come on and start cycling through the colors. I can turn the lights off and on with the app, which seems to work the same as my old switch (i.e. flip off and on twice to hold on a specific color in the rotation), but I can't just click on BLUE (for example) and get blue, which was how I understood it would work with the IntelliCenter.

Also, the various color shows also don't seem to work right either... i.e. I get green in the American color show.

Any ideas what I have wrong? Thank you!!
 
I think you are limited in what color light control the IntelliCenter can do with your legacy SAM lights.
