Ok, so I'm considering getting the IntelliCenter in the near future for my automation system. I was going to get the ET8 for pool and spa, and add on the SceenLogic2 to program it from my laptop, but it is tempting to go with the newest technology.
My question is will I be able to setup and program the controller from my laptop computer just as easy as if i had ScreenLogic, or will I have to stand in front of the control panel and program it on a 3"x4" touchscreen?
Of course once its programmed and running it will be nice to control it all from my phone, I just don't think I would look forward to getting to that point on a small touchscreen.
You will be able to setup and program the automation from the IntelliCenter Web Application from your desktop/laptop/tablet, as long as your IntelliCenter System Controller has internet access.
You can also program from your smart phone as well (again, as long as the IntelliCenter System Controller has internet access).
You can also program from the IntelliCenter Panel Touchscreen.
I have programmed various functions and parameters from all three.
Once all of the hardware is installed and you are ready for system start-up, I do suggest that you start out utilizing the "IntelliCenter Setup Wizard" from the panel. That will get the basics setup. I suggest that you familiarize yourself with four documents.
IntelliCenter Installation Guide
IntelliCenter User's Guide
IntelliCenter Quick Reference Guide
IntelliCenter Control System Web Application User's Guide
These four documents will answer a great many of your questions (and cause some more questions
)
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
