Product Overview

The Poolside Tech Attendant Mini | ATT-MINI is a compact smart pool automation system designed to bring modern equipment control, monitoring, and convenience to residential pool equipment pads.

Built as a smaller-footprint version of Poolside Tech’s flagship Attendant automation platform, the Attendant Mini is designed for common pool pad layouts where advanced automation is needed without the size or complexity of a larger control system. It supports app-based control, equipment monitoring, pump management, valve control, relay control, and water quality integration for compatible pool systems.

The Attendant Mini is ideal for pool owners who want a clean, streamlined automation system that can help manage pumps, valves, temperature, water flow, and connected pool equipment from one smart control platform.

Ideal For

• Residential pool automation upgrades
• Standard pool equipment pad layouts
• Pool and spa equipment control
• Variable-speed pump control
• Smart pool equipment monitoring
• Pool owners wanting app-based control
• Replacing older automation systems
• New pool construction
• Pool remodels and equipment pad upgrades
• Systems needing valve and relay control
• Professional pool automation installations

Key Features

Benefits

The Poolside Tech Attendant Mini helps simplify daily pool ownership by bringing multiple equipment controls into one modern automation platform. Instead of managing pumps, valves, relays, and sensors separately, the Attendant Mini allows compatible components to work together through a connected control system.

Its compact design makes it a strong choice for standard pool pads where space is limited but smart automation is still desired. It can help pool owners monitor and manage equipment, temperature, water flow, and connected pool functions more easily.

For pool professionals, the ATT-MINI provides a flexible automation solution with RS-485 communication, relay outputs, valve actuator support, and sensor inputs, making it suitable for many residential automation projects.
