Hey any help would be appreciated. Not sure how to connect my two 12v pool lights to my easy touch pentair panel so I can control them with my aux relay. Thanks

Welcome to TFP.
You have a transformer to take 120V to 12V? You connect the 120V side of a light transformer to a the LOAD side of a spare AUX relay. You connect the pool lights to the 12V or 14V tap of the transformer.
If you need more detail then that post a pic of your ET panel showing the wiring.

Yes I have a transformer to go to 12v. So if I take 120v from a breaker in my pentair panel to my line side of my aux really and then from there take a Fed from the load side of aux really to my transformer?
J,
Yep.. Then, when you turn on the aux relay, the light will light.
If it is color light, you can tell the EasyTouch the type of light and it will allow you to change the color of the light and it can run various light shows.

Ok great guys thanks for all the help much appreciated. One other thing can I run my low voltage landscape lighting with an aux really the same way too?
J,
Assuming your landscape lights are about 10' from the water, then yes you can... A pool light transformer is "pool rated", meaning if something fails, it will not short 120 volts to the 12 volt side. This is not the case with landscape lights..
I have my landscape lights tied into my ET and it works great.
