One app, both controllers
PoolPilot works with ProCon.IP and VIOLET. Adding a profile is all it takes — the app figures out the device type on its own.
ProCon.IP
Read pH, ORP and temperature, switch relays and dosing channels.
- Switch relays and dosing channels Off / Auto / On
- Manual dosing pulses with a safety confirmation
- Colour-banded chemistry gauges (pH, ORP)
VIOLET
Readings, functions and setpoints in one app: switch and adjust target values directly.
- Switch functions Off / Auto / On
- Edit target values: pH, ORP, chlorine, heater, solar
- Pool cover with a confirmation step
- Colour-banded chemistry gauges (pH, ORP)
What’s in the app
Four tabs, laid out the same way everywhere — whichever controller it’s talking to.
-
Dashboard
The headline values and switches at a glance — immediately access all your favorites upon opening the app.
-
Measurements
Every sensor grouped, with colour-banded chemistry gauges and individually configurable visibility.
-
Switches
Switch relays simply On/Off or set to Auto, start dosing and control the pool cover — straight from the app.
-
Settings

-
Widgets & watch
Home-screen widgets and a glance view on Apple Watch and Wear OS. Also Watch complications and Wear OS tiles.

Push notifications
Directly for VIOLET and for ProCon.IP with Pro via the PoolPilot Relay (running e.g. on a Raspberry Pi in your local network).
-
PoolPilot Relay
Secure remote access and push notifications also for ProCon.IP via the PoolPilot Relay (running e.g. on a Raspberry Pi in your local network).
-
Home Assistant as a Bridge
Aggregate the polling of the pool controller in Home Assistant and let the app communicate via the Home Assistant API.
A look inside the app
Same app, both platforms — on phone and tablet: drag the divider to compare iOS and Android, and pick the device, controller, screen and appearance yourself.
Real screenshots from ongoing development — not the final design. Rough edges and bugs are possible; a sneak peek at where things stand today, and it keeps getting better.
