Replaces the now inactive 78504 wireless control panel (warm gray color for NXT models 2014-2022).
This Hot Spring hot tub control panel is the replacement Wireless Remote for Hot Spring Highlife NXT models beginning in 2014. This wireless remote control panel comes with the latest version (4.XX) software. The wireless remote, docking station (78509 in warm gray or 79467 in cool gray ) and control box must all have the same platform code (software), ( i.e V4.XX); these are not interchangeable with previous versions.
What’s included: Wireless Remote Control Panel and USB Flash Drive with 4.XX software (for Control Box update)
Note 1: Because the wireless remote control panel and docking station are installed as a pair and often fail at the same time, it is recommended to replace the docking station (78509 in warm gray or 79467 in cool gray) when replacing the wireless remote.
Note 2: When buying the wireless remote only and if your spa was made prior to 2019, you will need to install the V4.XX Software for your IQ 2020 Spa Control System (Eagle Control Box) and Docking Station. The software for the Control Box, Docking Station, and Remote Control Panel need to match, otherwise the control panel remote will not sync with the docking station. For more information on how to install the software for your spa, contact our Backyard Plus Technical Support Team.
Note 3: If your spa circuit board is a “REVISION A” you cannot update the dock software through the motherboard. You will need to purchase a new dock along with the remote.

Product arrived on time and I was able to get it up and running with a little assistance from the helpdesk. Shoutout to the team for helping me as I encountered a snag, but all is good.

excellent service
I just wanted to thank you for your excellent service. I believe I was working with Craig. Helped me order a new Hot Springs Remote and docking station. He gave me excellent instructions to get it installed. After installation I ran into another problem and he quickly diagnosed and let me know it was a faulty thermostat. Just received the thermostat today, installed it and the spa is heating up now. Thanks again!

After talking to my spa manufacturer about replacement parts, I called Back Yard Plus. Wow they helped me confirm my problem, with out a $250 service fee. They offered the replacement part, $200 less that the manufacturer did. When I received it, I had problems with matching the software. They helped me and it was working in less than 5 minutes! The personnel working there are polite and incredibly helpful. I will do business with them again!On 07/17/2025 by R. G. (verified customer)

I’ve owned two Hotspring spas and have always replaced needed parts myself. Backyard Plus is my go to store for parts and technical help if I need it. Just last week I send an email on Sunday not expecting an answer till Monday. To my surprise someone emailed me back with a solution within an hour. Businesses like this are a rare find!On 07/10/2025 by A. A. (verified customer)

I was looking for a spa jet head that no one else seemed to have, even the spa maker didn't have it. Backyardplus had what I needed in stock. Easy to find on their website. Mailed quickly, and arrived carefully packed. Excellent!On 07/10/2025 by J. K. (verified customer)
