However if you prefer a wired network you can use a wired Ethernet connection.

The smart pool control hub is connected to your pump, heater, and smart relays. This can also control additional devices such as lights or booster pumps. A touchscreen control pad means you can always operate all your equipment from the pool pad, even if you lose your internet connection.
