Cel,

I'm betting that you have to have an active wifi at the sight to run a schedule..

But.. I've been wrong about 25 times, just today...

I guess we will see,

Thanks,

Yes, here’s my schedule and it runs daily.

Perfect thank you, looks like it will do what I need and between that and the betta it will pay for itself canceling the pool cleaners at my current location and probably do a better job LOL.

Hey Jim,
It had active wifi about a few days ago but its at a house no one is living at so I canceled the cable/internet service a few days ago while we manage the estate there. Its very weird not having wifi somewhere lol!

Just adding to this thread ....

I also replaced a Dolphin with an Aqua Products - I bought the 604 which, I think, is the 614 but without the wifi connectivity. The app on the Dolphin was lame AF so I was expecting the same with the Aqua Products. I got the robot last August and used it for a few months until the pool was closed and it was working well. My pool opened on Monday and I have run it numerous times to clean out the beginning of season Crud and it is doing a pretty good job, but I likely will still need to do a manual vac when I have the time.
So far I am happy with it.
One thing to add - the Dolphin cable started to give off debris in your hand. The Aqua Products cable is a different type and looks like it shouldn't do that.
I am using the old caddy from my Dolphin and it works pretty well, but not perfectly. You can hang the controller on the caddy, but it isn't very secure. I might use tie wraps to make it more secure.
