Pool owners want to change pump schedules and heater setpoints from the patio instead of walking to the equipment pad. The Intermatic PE953 is the MultiWave wireless hand-held remote that sends commands to and reads data from Intermatic's PE650 and PE653 pool control systems and other Z-Wave devices. Its water-resistant backlit display shows time, equipment status, water and air temperature and ON/OFF schedules. It replaces the older PE950 remote.
Why pool techs pick it
- Two-way control: sends commands and shows live equipment status and temperatures.
- Programs ON/OFF schedules, thermostat settings, time of day and variable pump speeds from the handset.
- Controls Z-Wave devices and can switch motorized valve actuators.
- Internal memory keeps the communication link through a power outage.
- Programming can be copied to additional remotes; runs on 3 AA batteries (included).

Pro tip from the counter
If the homeowner wants a second remote for inside the house, set up the first one completely, then use the PE953's copy function to clone its programming to the new handset. Programming both by hand usually leaves the two remotes with different circuit names and schedules.
Best for: pool and spa owners with Intermatic PE653 or PE650 controls, pool service companies, replacing a lost or failed PE950, backyard automation upgrades
