Screenlogic help, please

We're having trouble with some of the schedules not starting, and I'm questioning if we have the setup correct. I've read through the threads about configurations, but they seem very specific to the specific equipment/features.

We have:
EasyTouch2 8
Intelliflo VSP for the pool/spa
Whisperflo VSP for the water features (waterfall and bubblers)
Not sure if it matters, but we have an actuator for the pool/spa and another for the waterfall/bubblers.

Currently:
The bubblers will not work unless the waterfall is on.
I'm fairly certain Pool Low never comes on.
Our lights aren't coming on during their scheduled time.
The switch between Skim High and Pool doesn't always happen.

These are the screenshots from my configuration. (There is nothing under features)



I appreciate any help you can give.

Welcome to the forum.
You have too many Schedules/Egg Timers (set other than 12 hours 0 minutes). A standard EasyTouch can have 12. You have 14. That is why Pool Low is not running most likely.
You have two schedules for Waterfall but none for bubblers. You have a 0 Egg Timer for them, they will not run. Same with the lights. No real reason to run them on a schedule. Best to just use them when you wish and have them run off an Egg Timer.

It is best to set the Pool function so that it is running the entire time you want the pump to run, and set it at the minimum rpm you wish to run. Then create and schedule Circuit Functions to raise the rpm as needed for what you wish to achieve.

Welcome to TFP.

Highest pump speed always takes priority.

With POOL at 1700 no speed lower then that will ever take effect.

Set POOL speed to 1200 then set a POOL 1700 speed for when you want the pump at 1700 rpm.

You are running your pump for 24 hrs so the Pool circuit should be set for the lowest RPM you wish for the pool to operate at. This may be 1200rpm as noted on your Skim Low,
The other circuits, Skim High, Skim Low, etc should be at an RPM greater than 1200rpm (or whatever you set the Pool circuit to be )
The automation will always run the higher speed when there is 2 scheduled events.

Thank you all for your help! I will make the changes.

As for the bubblers, they won’t ever work without the waterfalls. If I manually turn only them on, they don’t come on. I have to turn the waterfalls on first. I had them on a schedule, but they still never came on.

Post a picture of the plumbing.

23,

That sounds more like a plumbing problem, rather than an automation problem.

We need to see several pics of your equipment pad.

Thanks,
