color:#1F497D'>I am designing a home automation system for a client with an
OP2. They want some basic pool controls. At a minimum I will
provide a water temp sensor. Has anyone used an Omni to control pools and
hot tubs? Is it better to use a dedicated system with serial interface or
can the Omni do it with relays and temp sensors. What do others do when
controlling these?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I believe my client wants to be sure the hot tub does not freeze
in the winter, so I know how to provide alarms based on temps. But is it
easy to control the system otherwise? They will use the home on the
weekends and maybe not every weekend. Is there an easy way to control it
like a HVAC system?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
