Thank you for the info. I might ask Santa for a refurb unit.

It has been a long time since I last visited this website. Things were working OK until I upgraded my iPhone and now Safari won't accept the self-signed SSL certificate (I can connect via local LAN). Anyway, I was wondering if ISY Portal would be useful for remote access, and if it is a pay service. I went to my.isy.io and entered the uuid of my (old) isy99ir, and it says it is offline. Thanks for any info you can provide.

My mechanical pool timer has two terminals for an external clock. I use a $5 240VAC/12A-rated relay from Radio Shack across the terminals (I measured 120VAC at considerable current going across). I had lots of 9v wall power supplies, so I chose that as the coil voltage. I use an Applicance module to turn it off and on. I got a weather-proof box to house it all. It's nice because it doesn't bypass all the other things controlling the pump, including an air-switch from the spa, and the heater (the pump stays on for 15 minutes after being turned off if the heater was on). I'm also using a pair of IOLincs to control my Jandy valves, stuck in the same box.

I use a stick-on felt pad.
