Since I had a previous antenna, it was very easy to remove and install in the same position.

You mount the provided wireless system board in the provided antenna casing, and plug into your control panel. I had to install the updated kit which took about 3 minutes. The old remote had a wireless kit installed on the pool control panel. (I found it a little missleading that the picture shows the wireless remote - it isn't part of what you are puchasing with this kit, but it isn't required either). When the wireless remote (like the one in the picture) stopped working, and I chose to move to a mobile app based solution instead. I don’t need them on when I am not home and I don’t want to fuss with changing the time on the dumb pool clock when sunset time changes throughout the year.Let me start by saying I had an existing pentair remote system installed for my pool already. For example, if I am home I will probably have the pool lights turn on between dusk and midnight. I will probably add a few z-Wave relays for some of the lights, mainly the lights I want to be automated. The valves are also programmed in the pool controller. My water features have 2 different VFD pumps, I don’t know if I would trust the Z-wave (SmartThings) controller to insure the water is pumping before enabling the heater. I suggest you stick with a primary controller like a Pentair, Jandy, or Hayward pool system controller then pair Z-Wave relays in parallel to enable your pool features. The Pentair controller controls everything in the pool, I have a 4 buttom remote at the spa, an interior remote in the house, and the app on my phone that I use 95% of the time to control the system. I like having all the lights and I don’t always turn them on but I have them if I want. I would prefer everything talked the same language but I only found one type of LED bubblers and another type of LED sheers. Toggling through modes and syncing lights is a bit annoying. The light feature on the Pentair screen logic controller only works with Pentair lights so all of these 2 wire lights are on standard relays. None of these lights talk the same language which is very annoying.

My sheers have LEDs, my bubblers have LEDs, the pool lights (x3) and spa (x1) are Hayward color logic LEDs, The sheers are 4 wire LEDs with a standalone RGB controller, the bubblers are 2 wire controls, and the Haywards are 2 wire. I have the Pentair Screen Logic pool control system, it works well to control the pool features (spa, pool pump/cleaner, sheer waterfals, spa spillover, and bubblers).

Pentair screenlogic wont connect
