Programs override all pool equipment in operation if they are run. They take precedence over schedules, manual operation and autopilot
Programs are used when you would like to run your pool in a certain way temporarily. A great use case is Spa Mode. As an example, normally you want your pool filtering your pool water like normal, but you want to allow the user to turn their spa on for a few hours to enjoy. Programs are unique in that they can override specific pieces of equipment at a time. We'll show you a couple of examples how a program could leave schedules running on a pump, but turn on a booster pump and a valve to do a special water feature.
To create a program like Spa Mode, click the "Programs" button on the home screen. Then click add.
In the example above, we've created a program called Test to run for 30 minutes. It will turn on our single valve actuator pointed in the "Spa" direction and it will also enable Aux2 relay.
To reiterate, in the program above, Aux 3, Heater, and Relay light, will maintain whatever functionality has been programmed. This means that these components could run manually, with a schedule, or even another program because they're not being used by this program.
After saving this program, it will show up on the programs page.
Let's say you are programming a spa mode and want easy access to it on the home screen. From the programs page, click "Add to Home". This will make a button show up on the home screen just below "Water Quality" items.
All you need to do to run the program is click the button. It may take a few seconds to activate but then you should see a progress bar and stop button. Programs can be stopped at any time or they will run for the programmed duration.
