We have several pieces of pool equipment we'll be replacing sometime soon (blown heater, rusted breaker box, failed air switch, etc). When we do get around to replacing it all, we'd like to include some HA functionality that will work with our existing Insteon + Indigo setup.
Primarily, we'd like to be able to, via Insteon:
* Control pool and spa heat (on, off, temperature set),
* Control pool and spa pumps, separately, so I can set the runtimes via software instead of an external timer,
* Control spa jets,
* Adjust the valves for the spa to shut off/turn on the waterfall overflow,
* Monitor pressures of both the pool system and our caretaker cleaning system.
We have two Jandy electronic valves already that were previously controlled by our pool heater, but the heater itself has failed (numerous times, so we've just decided to replace it).
Any recommendations on pool heaters or anything else that can help us achieve what we're looking for? Cost will likely be a factor, but at the same time we'd like to do it all "right" this time around, so any and all thoughts are appreciated. Reliability is a HUGE factor -- we're sick of calling people out at an average of $500/visit to fix the same stuff over and over (namely the heater)..
