Gas Valve compatible with Crestron Home?

 

Client wants his pool heating to be integrated into the Crestron Home system. The pool is heated via a Gas Valve opening and closing, are there any compatible Gas Valves with Crestron Home?

Thanks.
 

More information about the pool heater would be needed to answer that question safely.? Generally there is 2 types of residential gas valves.? Those that open when provided 24 vac of power and power pile gas valves which create their own power via power pile generator to hold the pilot on and 2 terminals on the valve get closed via t-stat.? That said, there are some Euro wall hung high eff boilers that have dc operated gas valves.? My guess is that the safest route would be to interrupt the signal from the thermostat with a relay.? Post the model and serial of the pool heater.
 

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay.

The Pentair fireman switch is a jumper wire that can be removed to then remotely control the heater by relay closure. The fireman switch operates at 24v.

When the jumper wire is installed the heater will work normally.

Remove the jumper wire and connect your relay to the fireman switch and you will now have remote control.? Shorting the terminals with your relay will cause the heat to turn on. This is how several of the control panels for Pentair heaters control the heater.? You will also need to turn the temperature of the heater up to it's maximum so that there is only one system controlling the temperature.? Note that the display panel will be dark when you aren't calling for heat.

The recommended method of remote control is to add a Pentair Intellicenter to control the heater, lights, and other pool accessories, and communicate with the Intellicenter using serial communications.

You may also be able to provide more elegant control of the heater using a Crestron thermostat and remote temperature sensor.
