Abstract
A circuit interface includes a plurality of inputs, an internal controller, and a communication module. Each of the inputs may be configured to connect to a respective high voltage relay output of a pool and/or spa control (“PSC”) panel. The internal controller may be connected to the plurality of inputs, and together, the internal controller and the plurality of inputs can be configured to convert relay output signals into formatted data that includes an implementation protocol. The communication module can be configured to transmit the formatted data from the circuit interface. Conversions from the relay output signals to the formatted data can include specifying or configuring the formatted data to cause a device controller to operate devices corresponding to respective PSC panel relay outputs by directing individual low voltage supplies from a common low voltage source to the respective devices.
