Hi! We just purchased a home with this system to run the VSP. It worked for about a month, and after coming home from vacation, I’m unable to link my iPhone via WiFi. The only light that illuminates is the “Auto” light. No other lights come on when the touchpads are pushed. When I push the Wifi button, “VSpump**” appears to join, but I keep getting “unable to Join” notifications. Any help appreciated before I call my Home Warranty provider. Thank you

Go to the Jandy website and search for the iQPump device. Download and read the manual to reset it and hook up as new item.
It may just need to be reset.

Thanks! I finally got it connected again. I read the reviews on the App Store, and the manufacturer was guiding many others to try resetting the breaker. That did the trick.

Can this be wired easily to two additional pumps to start and stop?

The pump is directly connected via a RS485 cable. The instructions do not say if a second pump can be connected.
In the AquaLink main control system, each RED connector (there is 1 in the iQPUMP device) only allows 2 devices per 1 RED connector.
You can try to connect a second pump. If you have 3 pumps, then you should consider a larger Automation system.
What other devices do you wish to control? Lights? A Heater? etc
 
Ultimately, I would like to control the separate spa pump, heater, and light. Also the separate pool pump for a rock waterfall/slide and pool light. The pool lights and spa and waterfall pumps were on a cheap X-10 mini controller, but it no longer works. Thank you

So many options. Which one?

The IntelliCenter is the latest technology and obviously the most expensive. It can easily handle 3 pumps, lights, heater, and even a SWCG if you convert to Saltwater pool in future. The Easy Touch has a long history of being very reliable but it is being discontinued so I would be concerned about longterm support.

If you search the forum, there are some homemade controllers that members have done.
Here is one to review.

Simple NodeJS PoolController setup

I wrote instructions on how I setup the NodeJS PoolController program on a pi3 with a RS485 interface to my Aquarite SWG. The instructions are specific for the aquarite, but it would be pretty straightforward to apply to other equipment. With njsPC, you don't need any automation, basically...
