I would like to control a DAB variable speed pool-pump (ESwim 150) according to water temperature. I get the latter from my Ico, but how do I control the pump…? Let’s keep it simple:1) which interface do I physically connect to the pump, and how; and 2) how do I command it? Thanks! ---

I don’t understand the scheme, but then… I’m a biologist 😉 - I need to be able to start and stop the pump - and then to control the speed (changing the input on pin2 from 0 to 10V apparently) - What zWave (?) module allows me to do that? Where do I connect the second pole? Thank you so much! ---

Here are all the available pins: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/f/0f01ef14211c1bd439210aa0745f2e6f3b8cf8d3.jpeg) ---

It looks like you can do it with the Fibaro smart implant and one or two power supplies of 5 and 10(12)V. As your are not an electronically engineer, I wouldn’t know how you can set up the electrical schema 😁 ---

Thank you, I’ll look into that. And, thanks for the encouragement! ---

The best thing you can do is to get some local help. As only text is is a very poor communication channel. Even between electrical engineers discussions can go on and on for a long time, with a lots of misunderstanding and miscommunication. Quite frustrating. ---

You can use a qubino 0-10V device on z-wave connect it to 3 (gnd) and 2 (IN0\_A). > **[Flush Dimmer 0-10V – Qubino](https://qubino.com/products/flush-dimmer0-10v/)**
