Issues

Currently this is very specific to my setup. Manually change the Device Handler to fit your environment.

Change circuit definition in initialize function as needed

circuit = [  
        spa:'1',  
        blower:'2',  
        poolLight:'3',  
        spaLight:'4',  
        cleaner:'5',  
        pool:'6',  
        highSpeed:'7',  
        spillway:'8'  
        ]

Able to modify eggtimers and schedules by first going into preferences and setting the desired values and then going back to main tile and executing either + schedule or - schedule. The time can also be changed the same way by activating the time panel.
