Schedules - Control your pool

Automate pumps, lights, heaters, and other equipment so your Clyr Controller keeps every pool running on time.

Heater and salt-cell operating requirements

Do not rely on Clyr to start or check the circulation pump before requesting heat or chlorination. Verify actual pump operation and adequate water flow. Keep every heater and salt-cell schedule and program within pump operation, including manual overrides. Retain manufacturer-required electrical interlocks and flow protection; schedules are not safety interlocks.

When Clyr provides thermostat control, enable Temperature Override, set the desired temperature and verify a current, credible water-temperature reading. Keep heat off if that reading is missing, stale or implausible. Do not assume that a disconnected probe automatically cancels a heat request.

Hayward H-Series in two-wire bO mode: the heater expects an external thermostat and only limits water temperature to 104 °F. Jandy JXi in two-wire REMOTE TSTAT mode: the manufacturer specifies a local setpoint of 104 °F. In either arrangement, a sustained heat request can heat toward that limit. This does not apply to every heater or remote mode.

Stop heat before stopping the pump and preserve the model-specific cooldown. JXi recommends stopping heat about 15 minutes before pump shutdown. Never bypass the heater's safety devices or use an app schedule as proof of water flow.

6.1 How to control your equipment using schedules

If you have a Clyr Controller with variable speed pumps, lights, relays, heaters, or other equipment connected, schedules give you a simple way to program how that equipment should run each day.

6.2 Set your first schedule

Suppose you want a variable speed pump to run from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every day. From the home screen, tap the Schedules button to open the calendar view.

Drag across the calendar with your finger just like creating a new event in another calendar app. The schedule dialog appears so you can finish configuring the run time.

Choose the equipment you want to automate, confirm the start and end times, and set any additional options. For pumps, you also select the RPM value before submitting the schedule.

The calendar updates momentarily. Here is an example schedule that sets a light to a specific color:

6.3 Editing a schedule

To update a schedule, open the schedules page and tap the calendar entry you want to change. The edit dialog reopens so you can tweak the day, time, equipment, or settings.

6.4 Copying a schedule to multiple days

When you need the same schedule on multiple days, tap the existing event, then choose Copy To and select the days you want to duplicate.

Copy To menu showing weekday selections for duplicating a schedule. — Select the days where you want the schedule copied.

Heads up: If you see a duplicate schedule error, check the other days for overlapping events on the same equipment and delete the conflict before copying again.

6.5 Deleting schedules

Important: Deleting a schedule while equipment is running immediately stops that device.

To remove a single schedule, tap the calendar entry, open the menu in the upper-right corner of the dialog, and choose Delete.

To bulk delete every schedule, open the triple-dot menu from the main schedules page and select Delete All.

Schedules make it easy to manage pool equipment and adjust settings throughout the day so every body of water stays balanced.
