First things first:
I have done some searching but haven't found a thread that really addresses this question entirely - but if I am being an idiot here and there is an existing resource please feel free to call me an idiot and point me in the right direction.
My current setup is in my signature.
Goal:
My ULTIMATE goal is to be able to see FC levels and control my SWG remotely, as well as pump and heater. However, I would be happy to be able to control my pump, SWG and heater remotely. I travel a lot for business and can have my kids test the chemicals, but they are less savvy in adjusting run times and %s.
Question:
I have been looking at the Hayward automation options and I am basically confused among the Omni HUB, Omni Logic and Pro Logic. And (or) would jsut buying a new pump be an easier way. Unfortunately I bought the VS pump last season a couple months before all the "smart" pumps hit the market. I ended up having a pool company install the new pump and the SWG as it needed some serious replumbing -- they were beyond clueless about automation. However, I am pretty tech savvy and should be able drop a wifi repeater into an outlet outside next to the equipment with a cat5/6 connection.
Deeply appreciate some advice from anyone out there that has been through this and can help point me in the right direction??
Thanks!
Tim
