It did not seem to make much difference whether the cable was buried or in the air. Turns out they all had unprotected cables between the main house and the out buildings. We would routinely get back guest house or pool house units which had taken lightning strikes, which would blow chips right off the circuit cards. I used to work for a really high-end AV place that only really rich people could afford, like Oprah, Tiger Woods, etc. So I should have powered down the whole EasyTouch instead, which would make for less of a chance of causing problems for the EasyTouch board, which is a very expensive part. It gets its power directly from the EasyTouch circuit board (when hard wired). I'm just now realizing that I shouldn't have 'powered down' the interface at the interface.

I use the Indoor Control Panel in addition to ScreenLogic (I hear you all laughing out there!), which also connects to the EasyTouch with the same four-conductor wire, so it made sense for my install to have the interface closer to my ethernet switch as the run was 'on the way' to my Indoor Controller. So put the interface where it's easiest to access, just in case. I have had to 'reset' my interface once since installation, powering it down and back up again, when I lost communication. You can put the interface by the EasyTouch and run ethernet to it, or, like I did, you can mount the interface near your ethernet router or switch, and run a four-conductor wire to the EasyTouch, whichever works better for you. Just browse the App Store in iTunes and type in the search termScreenLogicto quickly find.įor new IntelliTouch purchasers, the easiest and most cost-effective way to add control access via iPhone and iPod touch is to purchase a ScreenLogic PC interface kit (Part # 520500).I like wired myself. The new software is available free at the Apple App Store. (Requires optional Video and Lighting protocol adapter PN520854Z) Remotely view live video on up to 4 video cameras.Control all circuits (waterfalls, pool lights, fountains, and more) and review history of temperature, pool/spa, heater, and light operation.Easily turn on spa and adjust the desired temperature on the way home from work.Once the software is installed, you can control everything from pool and spa temperatures, jets, lighting, water features, remote video monitoring, and more : right from an iPhone or iPod touch. Controlling pool and spa operations couldn’t be easier : or more convenient. The new Pentair ScreenLogic Mobile app gives IntelliTouch systems with ScreenLogic interfaces WiFi access through an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.
