Hayward Remote Relay
Enroll the tested remote relay and keep its bus address separate from an AUX terminal number.
01 / Start with the right guide
Match your equipment
Use this guide for the Hayward Remote Relay controlled over RS-485. A conventional relay wired directly to a Clyr AUX output uses the existing Auxiliary Relay guide.

How the parts work together. This is a system overview, not a terminal wiring diagram.
02 / Get ready
Before you start
- Record the equipment model, controller generation and installed software version. Use the matching product manuals.
- Have a qualified installer isolate every relevant electrical supply and verify absence of voltage before opening equipment. Turning it off in the app does not isolate power.
- Have the installer verify the load, relay rating and safe test conditions. Label the physical relay and the load it switches.
03 / One step at a time
Set it up
Prepare one new relay at a time
Follow the approved enrollment arrangement with the installer. When multiple unassigned relays are present, identify and commission them individually so the selected name and address refer to the intended hardware.
Add the remote relay
Open Settings → Devices → Add, then select the Clyr controller physically connected to this equipment. Open Pool Equipment and choose the item named below. App wording can vary by version.
Choose Hayward Remote Relay. Give it a descriptive name and select its assigned Address. Keep addresses unique in the installed bus arrangement. Do not enter a local AUX port as the relay’s address.
Verify physical identity
Request ON once under supervision and observe the actual connected load. Request OFF and verify that the load stops. If a different load responds, leave the setup out of schedules until the binding is corrected.
Configure any light that uses the relay
If the relay switches a color light, have the installer match the light’s control configuration to this relay and the actual lamp family. A relay switching successfully does not prove the light-show mode is correct.
Build the intended operating program
Add only the named load to the first test program. Verify the on/off behavior before including it in a larger pool or spa program.

04 / Prove the result
Check it works
A saved setting tells you what you requested. These checks tell you what the equipment actually did.
- The named relay controls the intended physical load.
- ON and OFF both work; the relay click alone is not the only check.
- Any attached color light uses the correct show family.
- A normal controller restart does not change which load responds.
05 / Find the next useful check
If something is wrong
The device is saved, but it does not respond
Check the selected controller, equipment type, physical network and address against the installer’s record. Check the equipment’s own display for a fault. Isolate power before inspecting connections.
Manual control works, but the schedule does not
Check the event’s day, time, selected device and requested value. Check whether Manual or Service mode is overriding scheduled operation. Return to the intended mode and observe the next event.
06 / Save for later
