NEED HELP WITH MY NEW POOL

[Wilson320]

So, we got this house with a pool, right? The sellers only said they used some Pentair app for the pump and some other app they forgot about for the lights. I got the pump working with the Pentair app, and I figured out the heater. But I can't find an app for the lights – they're Pentair Microbright, I think.

Do you have the optional relay board installed in the Intelliflo3 pump?

If so, the lights could be connected to one of the relays, and you control it with the Pentair HOME app.

The relay board includes two high-voltage terminals capable of controlling pool lights, salt chlorine generators, booster pumps or other filtration system components.

One terminal is intended for 5A max low current connections and the other for 16A max high current connections.

No, because when I tried to add that through the Pentair app, it said I do not have one.
So, I found a smart switch on the wall that allows me to control the light color by flickering it on and off repeatedly. I can also use the Kasa app to control the switch. Can I add the feature of connecting the lights to a relay so that I can control it from the Pentair app., instead of doing this switch nonsense?

You need to add the IO Board to the pump and wire the light through it to use the Pentair app with it.

Remove the cover and show what is inside.
