Under that same section within GHL Control Center, what does the setting "Sequecnce 1/2" and "Surge 1/2" actually do and could that be used to control the Gyre ?

Any updates on how the Gyre pump is working the Icecap and GHL interface?

I see there no problemat all to connect a Gyre-Pump and to control it with the ProfiLux, assuming the Gyre pumps have a control input which works with up to 10V.
ProfiLux is able to generate different wave patterns using 1 or more wave pumps.
There are 2 important parameters:
- wave
- operational mode = activation pattern (sequence of activating several pumps)
The wave modes and how the wave simulation works in detail is explained in the manual, starting at p. 33.
e.g. about the mode:
Off – the pumps of this group are permanently off.
Permanent – the pumps are permanently active and operate synchronously.
Permanently alternating – The pumps are permanently active and operate alternating, i.e. if pump 1 runs with max. speed, pump 2 runs with min. speed and the other way round.
Sequence 1 – Here, always exactly one current pump of this group is switched on alternating. The duration for the change from one pump to the next one can be set, see below. When the last pump of this group was active, the cycle starts again with the first pump of this group. If this group consists of 2 pumps, then the ebb-tide-simulation is generated. If only one pump belongs to this group, it is switched on and off alternating.
Sequence 2 – Similar to Sequence 1, but the pumps are not switched one after the other, instead of that, they are activated in an alternating order.
Surge 1 – The pumps of this group are switched on one after the other until all pumps are active, then the pumps are switched off again in the same order until all are off. The time until the switching state changes again can be set (see beneath).
Surge 2 – Similar to Surge 1, but the pumps are switched off in the inversed order in which they had been switched on before.
Random – Using a random generator, all, some or none of the pumps belonging to this group are activated in a continuous random variation. The time until the switching state changes again can be set (see beneath).

Actually the best way to control two Gyre pumps with Profilux via IceCap controller to use
permanent opposite mode with sinus wave other modes i couldnt get to work correctly.
Unless someone wants run permanent mode .
Hope GHL have some in works for better control and different mode settings for Gyre pumps. Similar to Vortechs would be nice.
To control Gyre with Tunze modes are not the best scenario since two pumps are completely different in operation .

.I too would like to see more control of the Gyre pumps with my Profilux.
By that I mean that I would like to be able to set certain times of the day to have selected pumps 'on' at selected power, 'pulse' at selected power and duration... Basically a similar setup/control that is provided with the Vortech module.
Thanks

I think the main difference between the Ecotech and the GHL pump control is the ability to run different modes at different times.
I already have this on the egenda, I want to re-progarm the entire pump control section.
But besides the timely changes of the mode is there something else mising?
Is there a mode which ProfiLux doesn't offer?
Good ideas are welcome and very likely to be considered in my next updates.

That's a fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time to make this.

From what I have read and seen in videos, a gyre pump can be run in reverse as part of its randomized flow.
If I buy an LBF-AP box and a grye, will I be able to configure an equivalent schedule on the P4?
