This is my successful install and setup. A few notable points that will save you from grief.
I had a P4 and so I bought the PS4 keypad. Brainless swap. It is exactly the same size an my old P4 keypad os the metal bezel fit fine. I also had gone through and noted my config figuring a reprogram was in order, but all was preserved. I guess the NVRAM is on the mainboard.
I ran a 50' length of CAT5 cable to my HS3 setup and a AQ-CO-SERIAL interface and then used 2 wires for each of the 4 connections to ensure good signalling and power.
I found the AQ-CO-SERIAL for $199 USD at www.polytecpools.com - cheapest anywhere. The PS4 keypad I found for $400 CDN at www.poolsuppliescanada.ca - also cheapest anywhere. From the AQ-CO-SERIAL I use a serial to USB adapter and specify the /dev/usb# in the Plug-Ins manager.
Time Saver Note #1 :The Hayward doc shows the unit upside down for some reason. When mounted with the face label up, connection 1 is actually the lowest. Where as on the Prologic mainboard connection 1 is the highest.
Time Saver Note #2 :You must go into your Prologic configuration and set the name of your Heater1 to "GAS HEATER". It is one of the options, just run through the names with the +/- keys. Failure to to so will result in the Plug-In's Pool Heater Set Point value and macros to just fail miserably.
Go through the Plug-In set up and identify your system type (PS-4/8/16..) and SPA/system info.
Stop and restart the Plug-In.
As long as your wiring is right, you should be golden.
In HS Touch Designer, I created a new screen and created some one touch graphic items for things like the pool lights, but also created a Prologic menu panel.
Note that IF you have a Prologic P4 and you wire it up and set it up like the above, you will successfully monitor everything, but you will not be able to set to do anything. The P4 does not have the home automation execute functionality.
Hope this helps other AquaConnect users and saves some time.
