I've been looking all over youtube for videos like this. Surprisingly, there are none. Only this. So thank you very much for making this video. I'm ordering a similar relay right now to control my pool pump. Thanks!
One of my clients has this setup and we’re having issues getting it to connect with the app on his phone. Everything on the timer side works fine. Is this an issue with the app?
I have 2 pumps, one pump to circulate water and another that runs the Polaris cleaner. The circulation pump has to be on before the cleaner pump will run. Will this work for my setup? Would I need to buy 2 controllers? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. I have a question regading my already installed Freeze Guard on my control pannel, would it work with this smart timer since wiring is the same?
why didn't you show a picture of how the old timer was? - my old timer had 3 connections - white then black then red - this one has 4 connections - what do i hook up to what on the new one? is it white -empty-black-red?
I have an analog timer dial switch that turns on my in ground spa (attached to pool) and it's in the exterior wall of my house next to my patio door with one of those clear retractable cover doors. The switch has failed and just stays on all the time. Could I replace that timer switch with one like this?
As other have implied or stated, video shows product being improperly installed. Yeah it works but I don't think it's to code and it's not safe, as others have commented I bought the relay becuase I have the exact same panel box and timer shown in this video. I paused on installing as it was not making sence to me. I'll now quote the manual "Question # 4 : Can I run l1 and l2 (240vac) through it (no neutral)? Answer : No, don't do that. Must be one "L" line +one "N" line. If your device is with 2 hots which is 120V for each, can't use this relay switch." The power supplied is clearly show in video as 2 hot 120V lines from a double breaker. I can see how it'll work, turn on pump and complete the circuit, however it's not rated to be used like this. I'm not willing to risk the liablity in something going wrong.
Purchase the module and the screws are so short can't get the wire in securely. Any suggestions. Can I purchase longer screws? What do you call those screws
Hi would like to know if i can use this with a pool pump and salt system. Both are 110v each and i have 2 20 amp breakers one for each. So i was thinking the both breakers get wired to the right and the both pool pump and salt get wired to the left. Will this work or it only support one 110v thing?
Is your pump 220 volt. So you used this switch as as a 220 volt switch, amazon reviews say it won't work with 2 hot wires and no neutral wire but it seem to be working fine?
@@BRichSolution No neutral and a SINGLE 220V wire does not make sense. It either has to be two hot 110V wires (for 220v) or single 240 (as in Europe, not US and I am in US) AND a Neutral - no exceptions. Thank you very much for a quick response.
@@hughelse9301 There are two hot going in (black/red>black/red), neutral is always white. I imagine this works just like a switch only using the hot legs, the neutrals are tied together..... EDIT: Rewound the video and can see the neutrals are all connected on a bus bar to the left.
You cannot install non-Intermatic controls into Intermatic panels as these panels are not regulatory listed or regulatory tested (CSA, UL, etc.) for use with these alternative controls. This is a code violation!

Love the way he tested for live wires...priceless
I suppose i could have used volt meter

Glad I could help others out. The pump manufacturers wifo switches are expensive and not open source
This is precisely what I need to start my conversion of my analog pool system -- starting with this timer! Thanks for the detailed video.
Glad it was helpful!
On the money! Everything worked out just as described. Thanks!
Great to hear!
One of my clients has this setup and we’re having issues getting it to connect with the app on his phone. Everything on the timer side works fine. Is this an issue with the app?
Make sure to connect with 2.2Gz wifi. 5Gz wifi doesn’t support most wifi smart devices
I have 2 pumps, one pump to circulate water and another that runs the Polaris cleaner. The circulation pump has to be on before the cleaner pump will run. Will this work for my setup? Would I need to buy 2 controllers? Thanks!
I think you would need 2 controllers as each rated for 30 Amps
I have same setup did you end up trying this ?
Quick question: How to I use this if I have another timer for my Polaris that cleans the pool?
Install 2 seperate timers?
I was hoping it worked for both but that’s doable. Thanks, Great video.
Thank you for sharing. I have a question regading my already installed Freeze Guard on my control pannel, would it work with this smart timer since wiring is the same?
Yes

See video at 0:57 for old timer wiring. My old timer has 3 wires too: red, blk and green
I have an analog timer dial switch that turns on my in ground spa (attached to pool) and it's in the exterior wall of my house next to my patio door with one of those clear retractable cover doors. The switch has failed and just stays on all the time. Could I replace that timer switch with one like this?
I believe so, is the timer 220v or 240v? if so then yes
Does this work when you have a pool heater as well? I think that’s why I have another wire on load 1 and load 2.
Yes it would work on heater
dose it also give you light option?
No light option only on and off. But i set mine to same light option all the time so on off is okay with me for $30 vs $400
So I can replace my old timer with this one. What can i do make turn on my spa heater via wifi.? Any ideas and if there a link for any parts
Is your spa heater above 30amps? If not and its 240V and 30amp breaker then buy a 2nd wifi timer like this one

Thanks for the comment. I wired the timer the exact same way as the original analog timer is wired
Did you connect the two lines from the panel to the line and neutral terminals on the switch? Thanks.
Yes, see video at 1:43
Purchase the module and the screws are so short can't get the wire in securely. Any suggestions. Can I purchase longer screws? What do you call those screws
Take the screws to hardware store and they can match up the threads to a longer screw
Does the app have a timer function to set a schedule for the pumps to run or is it just on/off functionality?
Yes has time schedule you can set for 7 days a week

I believe so. Description says 110V or 220V
Hello, were you able to connect your pump and salt system? So how did you connect the wires?
I have 2 analog timers do i have to buy two? Or i can control it with one
Most likely since amps are probably too high on each circuit with analog time
Is your pump 220 volt. So you used this switch as as a 220 volt switch, amazon reviews say it won't work with 2 hot wires and no neutral wire but it seem to be working fine?
yes 220v and all it working fine for over a month now
Great video. Its been 9 months since you posted the video, has the device held up and continues to work?
Yes, its cycles 2 times a day and all is well
Hi, I also do not understand the wiring. Do you have a single 220V wire and a neutral wire? Really appreciate clarification. Thank you.
Single 220v wire, no neutral. I had red and black wire coming from the breaker. And then red & black out to pump
@@BRichSolution No neutral and a SINGLE 220V wire does not make sense. It either has to be two hot 110V wires (for 220v) or single 240 (as in Europe, not US and I am in US) AND a Neutral - no exceptions. Thank you very much for a quick response.

How did you connect the timer to the wall? Double sided tape?
Yes, double sided tape
Does it work for t40004rt3. I think is 220. Could you post the specs to order it?
Specs listed n the description and on the Amazon ad. Looks like Amazon is sold out at the moment but its cheaper on eBay. ebay.us/T20UWW
Why don’t you need the ground again?
There is a ground wire from the pump to ground
How would you control a 2-speed pump?
My pump is two speed and I have to control the speed on the motor head
I think my system has 2 pumps I see lots of wires
Might need 2 switches
Hello, may you say the name of the app?, better the link in the app store. Thanks in advanced
Smart Life is the app
Can you control that from anywhere? If you are out of town?
Yes
1:25 bwaahaa
yes, checking with voltmeter would have been better
You cannot install non-Intermatic controls into Intermatic panels as these panels are not regulatory listed or regulatory tested (CSA, UL, etc.) for use with these alternative controls. This is a code violation!
Good point
Do you have to have a Tuya hub?
I don’t have a hub… everything runs off a wifi router thru the smartlife app
This is no longer available
It is out of stock and will be in stock soon

The original analog timeomatic timer was wired the same as digital so how do they suggest wiring the Timeomatic with two 120VAC wires?
