I have been looking for an affordable solution to control my variable pump and my Pool Pilot Digital SWG via WIFI. My budget was $100. After reading several threads here and looking closely to the v-green 165 and pool pilot digital manual, I've came up with a solution that I would like to share with the group. Following is a list of devices that I used.
I have included a rough connection diagram below.
Using the digital inputs of the v-green to control the pump, I hooked each b-hyve zone to one of the pump steps as pictured below. I also used the b-hyve "pump" port to control the RIB2401B which turns my pool pilot on/off. When the b-hyve sends a 24vac signal to the v-green motor via each of its steps, it also sends a 24vac to the RIB2401B. You can program the b-hyve to run each step up to 8 hours and we can schedule up to 4 programs through out the day. I have disabled the rain delay so it would not interfere with the b-hyve running steps 1-3 and the override.
I hope this helps. Cheers
