So in this instance the gas heater is not connected to the gas heater relay on the IntelliTouch at all? You should know that the there is no such event named |

Vars need to be accessed via a special context variable that will be loaded internally. Use
Same for boostRelay, of course. |

If you use the one below this will also trigger immediately when the feature is clicked on or off. If the pool circuit is first engaged or disengaged there will be a delay as the heater functions are geared up and will not rotate until the solar valve is rotated. This will help to stabilize flow as the pump ramps. Essentially I added an event when you click the Heat Boost feature.

This is in followup to my question from February (#687 (reply in thread)), where I want to create a "Heat Boost" mode on my pool such that when the solar heating is on the heater is also turned on. We have determined that by hooking into Valve B on my intelliTouch i5+3, a 24V relay can be activated which operates the fireman's switch for the heater.
I only want this to occur when (a) the boost function is activated via the panel or the dashPanel UI and (b) the solar heating is operational. I have created two features - HEATBOOST and BOOSTRELAY. BOOSTRELAY is assigned to ValveB. HEATBOOST is currently just a custom name, but it appears on the panel and the UI.
Using server:4200/state/all, I see the ids for the features, but I am not sure where to look to find the API that I use to determine the true / false value of HEATBOOST and to insert it into my modified version of the automation code provided by @rstrouse in the original thread. What do I replace <<heatBoostFeatureId == 'true">> with in the following:
