well it will tell me what the temperature is and run a schedule for the connected heat pump the external relay outputs do not seem to do anything nor can text support be bothered to help troubleshoot it or get it sorted. in order to have Wi-Fi pump control I ended up having to add external devices. that's not why I bought the poolsync. also tech support seems to be provided by field service people who aren't very well versed in the technical details. ALSO I have it connected to an Omni-Swim heat pump and solar controller and THERE IS NO CONTROL OF THE SOLAR FUNCTIONS AT ALL!!!!!!!! Seems they simply can't be bothered to add that functionality. Certainly not what I was sold- or paid for. Have to pay for a service call if a tenant messes with the settings :(

I managed to set up the Controller to the App after several attempts. I discovered my phone (One Plus 10 Pro) would not find any WiFi connections in the App during set up. Not sure why but I was able to install the App on an older phone, log into my account and find my Wifi connection along with other nearby connections. I then successfully connected my heat pump to my App account on the older phone. I could then log into my App account on my One Plus phone and access the controls. No need to set the Heat Pump Smart setting either to 'Smart' which is mentioned in some older Aqua cal online videos. The D port connection in the heater could be better identified. It is the bottom left port. Feed in the cable before gently removing the green cover and connecting the 4 wires in the correct positions, then carefully push on the green connection.

The initial one I received was not able to work because the firmware was incorrect to work with my heat pump. Aquacal had to send out a new one to replace it, requiring a reinstall. Their support was super helpful and quick. They determined the issue and shipped a new one within a week. The new one worked fine. Its definitely expensive for what it does. Its relatively simple, but the price is high.

Fairly straightforward install, the images in the install manual were an exact match & easy to read. The app is simple but it works fine. I don't have the call/flex circuit on our AQ-SuperQuiet 166ardsbpr and wanted to run the heater on an overnight schedule when the electricity is cheaper (2-10am). Eventually I'll run the cable thru conduit and put in a disconnect so that I can take this off thru the winter without having to open the heatpump everytime.Long cable let me mount the control unit vertical and in the shade (photo). I chose this over installing a wifi circuit breaker because of the easier install & integration.

Installed it myself on a new 600 Series electric...simple UI/UX, could doll up the app a bit as is boring...blue would be a good colour instead of snow white :)

The installation was easy. Although I had my electrician do it I watched him and assisted him. Total time to install and mount the unit was less than 39 minutes. The misleading thing is that you can only control the pool heater from within your wifi range. I thought I could, for example be visiting relatives and set the temperature before heading home. Another issue I found d is that it doesn't seem to find my 5G wifi only the 2.4 which is not a major issue but I have to remember to switch networks on my phone to 2.4. The app is easy to use. An enhancement that would allow you to control the pool heater out of state would be a plus for property owners that rent out their property. The owner could schedule, set Temps, turn unit off and on. Otherwise I'm happy with both the pool heater, module and app.

I paid $60 for this WiFi connection to pool chiller. $60 is a fair price. Have only had it for a few days but it seems like a plus. The rest of my pool system is iPhone controlled and now the chiller is as well. Only question I have is how long the device will last. I haven’t seen any comments on that yet. So far, worth the buy.

Pros:-not overly expensive-phone access to heat pump is great-no more messing with the control panelCons:-no dedicated spot on the heat pump to mount the thing-no alexa integration-green light is annoyingly bright-initial setup is flakyI like that they're not gouging you for this device, it costs about what I think it should. I can totally see other companies trying to charge hundreds for this. Installation is easy enough if you have some basic knowledge and aren't afraid to mess with electrical boards, just kill the power first!The app and/or instructions for the app are a bit lacking. I had everything set up and connected to my wifi, but it didn't show my heat pump. Had to force close the app several times and hit the reset on the device before it finally showed up. After the initial issues, it seems to be better. Now, whenever I open the app, the heat pump is there.Routing the wire and mounting it can be problematic if this is an add-on to an existing system. It would be nice if there was a dedicated spot on the heat pump to mount it. I thought about leaving it inside the access panel, but that would require undoing 20 screws every time I needed to access the buttons (if I ever do need to get to the buttons)Alexa integration would put this on another level.. "alexa, what's the pool temp?"; "alexa set the pool to 82 degrees".. unfortunately, there is no such integration.My last issue is the annoyingly bright green 'status' light that's constantly on. I had to cover it with electrical tape. Most folks try to hide their pool equipment. No one on earth wants a bright green light drawing attention to it! A small piece of electrical tape solved that issue.All in all, to be able to check the water temp and adjust from wherever I am, it's worth the 60 bucks. It could be better, but it is what it is.
