Step 3 : Mount BoPi to the wall

Mounting BoPi to the wall is relatively easy but it does require a few tools and picking a proper position. Once its properly secured, it will make it easier to do the wiring and plug in the necessary sensors.

Step 4 : Power

Bring power to BoPi, turn it on and connect to it through the app. you won’t be able to do many things but from the settings, you can test each relay (and hear a clic). If present, you can also try out the peristaltic pumps to make sure it all works.

Step 5 : Wire the pump and other devices

Time to get serious, wire the pump control to BoPi as well as the pool lights and any other device you may have. Kill the power to everything before doing wiring and turn it back on after each device to test it. You could do it all at once if you have experience but its easy and quick to confirm at each step.

You could do this step partly along the way with each device added or do it all at once in the end. In anycase, configuration is an essential step and the final one before enjoying your pool with remote control.
