smccray Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm upgrading the pool system from a simple timer to a control system from either Jandy or Pentair. Which is preferred? I'll be using an ipad for a touchscreen if it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Pretty sure neither of these drivers will display on the iPads. Only C4 touchscreens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avittech Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 that is true. no ipads or iphone pool controls yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekdoc Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have the Pentair system and overall am happy. My installer programmed some custom buttons for my iPad to turn pool lights off/on, water feature on/off. No control of heater temp or anything else. I have to use TS or GUI on TV for the other controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatt Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 tekdoc,Can you give me some details on the equipment needed to have my C4 System communicate and control my Pentair Pool system. Right now I have 2 Pumps (intelliflow) as well as a Pentair Salt system. All of my Valves are Pentair brand also.I'd like to do this before the spring.Thanks.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avittech Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You will need an intellitouch controller (i9 or i5 I beleive) and ilink automation module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccray Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Well crap. Will need to think through this a little more. I already have the site license so it seemed like the best way to go. Both Pentair and Jandy have ipad control applications right? Any feedback on those apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekdoc Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 avitech is right. You need an i5 or i9 and the iLink which connects it to your C4 system. Pentair sounds like a good idea for you since you have Pentair equipment already. I am not familiar with the iPad app. I think it is an additional cost and you may need a different controller to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanmark Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Just bought a house with a pool that has Jandy equipment. Any tips/advice for integrating Jandy equipment with C4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweeper154 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have the Pentair IntelliTouch i7 with the iLink Protocal Interface Adapter. I'm able to control my pumps, heater, and lights that are connected to the i7. The system works but only on the Touchscreens. My hope is that Control4 will introduce the Pool Control option on the mobile devices (iPad and Android) but I've had my system for about 18 months and have stopped waiting.

verge Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Has anyone tried using C4 with a Pentair i7+3? I have the possibility to land a big client but this area is essential to getting the job. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
