As of this weekend, I have HS3 doing much more sophisticated automation than I could ever do with even the most expensive dedicated pool controllers e.g.: "only run Polaris on Friday/Saturday/Sunday; only turn on system during the day if the weather forecast indicates it will be warm enough; don't turn the sweep on if there is recent motion near pool, etc.). I've also set the system up for a "summer mode" and "winter mode" where during the winter (coming soon) the filter will run at a much lower speed in the middle of the night when power is less expensive, whereas in the summer the filter will run during the day when the solar system can heat the pool. Everything above took me about 15 minutes to set up with HS3 events, and would have been impossible with any other system.
