Hi. Does anyone know how I can connect an exterior LED LIGHT to my Pentair system? I want to mount a small led light that will come on on whenever the solar is activated. I notice on my phone app, it will show when the solar is active. However, I want to mount a small red light under my deck that will come on when solar is activated. Any ideas on how to connect it to the system ?

Do you have a relay that closes when the solar comes on? You need something that will tell the Intellicenter to close a relay that you have the light hooked to when the solar comes on.

You could tap in a flow switch to the VPC pipe going up to the solar and use that as a trigger to turn an LED on. Something like the below.

The Intellicenter has a dedicated Solar relay trigger. It is meant to engage a relay for a solar booster pump, but could be used to turn on an LED instead.
Any ideas where I can get the input connector to go into the solar output on the i5PS.
