Smart pools within home automation

Within home automation we can highlight smart pools, which we will talk about at the end of this article.

what is artificial intelligence 

Role of artificial intelligence in home automation

Talking about artificial intelligence (AI) is something as simple as talking about smart machines. That is, machines that are programs to carry out certain tasks automatically without the need for humans to supervise their work. In this way, artificial intelligence is presented as a branch of computer science, which is the discipline in charge of carrying out the programming of intelligent machines. 

Where does the name home automation come from?

Origin of the word home automation

If we go to the etymological origin of the word we find that it comes from domes, which means house, and tica, which means that it works on its own. So, home automation houses would be those that work by themselves.

In this way, home automation ensures that different technological systems installed in the home allow for simple management of all its resources. This automation serves to manage your security, comfort, communication and energy.

We can say that home automation systems manage to integrate technology into all aspects of the intelligent design of a home.

What smart systems are the most common at home?

Surely the best known to everyone are the smart appliances: ovens that turn on themselves, refrigerators that do the shopping, washing machines that adapt to the cost of electricity...

All the Smart TV They are also very well known since the boom of streaming platforms.

However, one of the intelligent devices present in a home and very unknown are the smart meters. For some years now, these types of devices have been mandatory in any electricity supply, since they allow many distributor activities to be carried out remotely, such as electricity registrations and readings. However, not only distributors benefit from this type of system, but also users, since you can control your consumption and monitor when and where you consume the most, thus being able to reduce your electricity bills.

Finally, the smart air conditioning systems They are one of the best bets for your home.

Functions of a smart pool

In short, pool home automation: it allows you to control the pool anywhere and is accessible to everyone. Enjoy control of your pool, don't worry and keep it in optimal conditions.

Evidently The control of the pool home automation equipment will be carried out according to Remote control modules to automate swimming pools installed in the device in question.

Automation of the control of pool water filtration cycles

Pool water filtration

In the same way that you leave the lighting or temperature control of the rooms in the hands of your Smart Home, the same thing happens with the pool. The automation of this through Loxone allows predetermined cycles (filtering and circulation). The duration of these can be previously configured so that you can dedicate yourself to other tasks and not be constantly pending.

La domótica will allow us to control:

• Starting and stopping the water recirculation pumps.
• Modification of the battery of automatic and electric valves, to place it in the programmed position for filtration, washing of filter mass, rinsing, etc. All this depending on the pressure obtained by the pressure transmitters in the filter.

The pool performs different cycles depending on what the user determines, and thanks to the Loxone home automation installation in the pool, you can leave it in the hands of this intelligent system. As for filtering, it is responsible for turning on the pump, ensuring that the drain valve remains closed or that the heating valve is not connected at that time. It also performs the backwash, rinse, circulation and emptying cycle in home automation for swimming pools.

• Finally, click the following link to learn more about: pool filtration.

Home automation for swimming pools: smart pool pump monitoring

Another very important feature that you can control is your pool pump. The pump is responsible for circulating water throughout the pool area, ensuring that the water does not stagnate and accumulate bacteria. Unfortunately, many traditional pool owners choose to operate their pool pump manually. This can lead to inefficiencies that mean water doesn't circulate to all the nooks and crannies within the pool, which could mean the growth of algae and bacteria - not exactly the dream scenario for your backyard paradise.

A smart pool pump ensures that your waters stay clean and clear even when you're busy. Because you can operate your smart pool while traveling, your pool pump can be activated even when you're not home, so your pool doesn't have to sit stagnant until you return. By making the pump automatic, you can get your pool cleaned on a schedule you can count on.

Home automation pool heating system

Air conditioning and temperature control

Heating Investing in a heating system is a great way to ensure you can get the most out of your pool, regardless of the season, time of day or weather. However, having to manually adjust the temperature and wait for the water to heat up can be an incredibly frustrating and tedious task.

Fortunately, this is just another job your smart group can do on their own. Because you can control the temperature of your pool away from home, having your smart pool heat the water on its own means you can plan a late-night swim while you're away from home and then return to water that's already perfectly heated. . This feature is not only convenient, but it also makes it easy to save energy by allowing your pool to adjust the heat settings while you are away.

Temperature: We can install smart probes that detect the degrees in our pool and outside. Thanks to them we can control the temperature remotely or depending on the outside temperature, thanks to heat pump systems or electric or solar heaters.

Using the data received from the water temperature and the air temperature and humidity, we can activate and deactivate the basic air conditioning procedures. For example, start or stop a heat pump or a dehumidifier.

One of the functionalities of home automation systems is that you arrive home and you can have programmed the temperature at which you want each room to be. Something similar happens with the pool, and that is that, thanks to its domotization, we can control the heating and cooling of the water and even leave it at a fixed level or vary it according to the time of day. For example, at midnight you can decide if you want it to continue maintaining the temperature or stop it until the next day.

Automatic disinfection equipment

Measurement and treatment of pool water to automate pool

State of the water: There are home automation controls that analyze, from time to time, the PH of the water or the chlorine levels, so that the state of our pool is perfect. According to the information they collect, they can dose chemicals using a pump; there are different models.

We can check the measurement of values ​​of desinfectant such as chlorine, oxygen, bromine. Also the pH levels of the water.

Telematics and depending on the result of the measurement we can manually, forcefully or automatically dose the appropriate amount of chemical.

Saline chlorinator in water disinfection with home automation for swimming pools

salt chlorinator In addition to cleaning, managing the chemicals that enter the pool is another one of those tasks that can take up a ton of the time you would rather spend in the water. Trying to figure out the correct volume of each chemical is not only confusing, but it can also be stressful because making sure you swim in clean water is a very important task for your health and safety.

Installing a smart salt chlorinator means you can enjoy every day in your pool without having to worry about complicated things like pH balances and chemical levels, and your pool water is kept clean and safe for worry-free dips. , regardless of the time of day. .

We can also activate and deactivate other complementary systems of UV-C disinfection. such as UV or OZONE equipment, which does not modify the chemical composition of the water. Or also start with continuous flocculation by starting a peristaltic dosing machine.

Auger dosers

There are equipment on the market that combines irrigation programming with salt chlorination and with automatic regulators and dispensers. They are really just programmers integrated into the salt chlorinator control panel, which benefits us in small technical installations.

Cleaning the bottom of the pool

Pool cleaning with home automation for pools

A big selling point of the smart pool is that your pool can clean itself. Between scrubbing the sides and sifting surface dirt through a net, traditional pools can require hours of maintenance from the owner, and this can end up canceling out the relaxation that a pool should provide you. Fortunately, smart pool technology means your pool can clean itself with just a few clicks on your device. This means you can go on a trip without having to worry about who will take care of your pool or without simply leaving it and wondering what mess awaits you when you return home.

You can schedule a routine cleaning or decide at the time for your smart pool to start work. Because he can control the schedule while traveling, he can always make sure he's prepared if his friends ever want to come over for an unexpected dip in the pool. Setting your pool to clean itself frees up your schedule and allows you to enjoy your time in the sun, rather than having to work your way through it.

Intelligent pool construction for self-cleaning

How the self-cleaning of smart pools works

1. A series of strategically placed discreet nozzles are recessed into the floor of your pool.
2. In a carefully orchestrated, automatically regulated and completely silent sequence, each rotating nozzle appears in turn.
3. Throughout the sequence, powerful currents of freshly filtered water push dirt and debris into Vantage's collection area.
4. A fixed nozzle then pushes dirt and debris into the main drain, where it collects in the waste container.

Automatic robots for smart pools

On the other hand, intelligent robots allow cleaning tasks to be carried out automatically, without us having to be present.

Likewise, we can establish the cleaning schedule, as well as the aspects to clean. Cleaning cycles, automatic rotation, turbopropulsion, filtration levels, etc.

It is also not strange to be able to “drive” the automatic pool cleaner through a mobile phone.

This way no corner will be left with dirt.

Control of LED projectors and music with a smart pool

A simple but important feature that can control a smart pool is the use of pool lights.

Thanks to them we can control different aspects of the lighting in our pool (and the area in which it is located), such as on and off, intensity, brightness... You can also install motion sensors that turn the light on or off depending on the situation. or not people in the pool.

This feature is really convenient because if you ever have to leave your house in a hurry, you can turn off the pool lights while you travel, saving you time.

Likewise, if you're not sure if you turned them off before you left, the remote app gives you peace of mind, no matter where your trip takes you.

Having control of your pool lights also makes it easier than ever to set the ambience of your pool and garden.

If you plan to come home at night and jump in, you can program your pool lights to already be on so the ambience is perfect and the pool is ready for your evening dip.

Using our mobile phone we can change the atmosphere of our pool and garden, by synchronizing with the underwater or outdoor lighting installation, choosing the appropriate color range for each moment.

Also via Wi-Fi we can choose the music that we think is appropriate at any given moment, playing the music on the outdoor speakers.

How a swimming pool automation system works

Home automation operation

To begin with, highlight that pool home automation is carried out with Pool control equipment, systems and compatible devices that allow us to connect different equipment at the same time; which allow you to automate the pool and garden in a simple and effective way.

As we introduced previously, Swimming pool home automation works in any type of pool through an integration of technology through wireless testing with ADSL (Internet) that links all pool devices with magnetic support (probes in the water).

This permanent remote connection allows the examination, automation and management of all the elements of the pool, being able to modify the factors with a mobile application and thus investing in energy improvement while saving time and money.

On the one hand, some of these modules must be supplied with adjustable power output sockets.

On the other hand, inputs can also be provided to measure what would be the water temperature and a government-protected (very useful, for example, in the case of having indoor pools).

As we have already said, This control of what would be the smart pool is developed telematically through an application downloadable on our mobile phone or there is the possibility of examining the pool through a remote control.

How does home automation work in swimming pools?

Operating modes in pool home automation

Smart pool manual mode

• Service mode. This corresponds to the “manual” mode and, therefore, the user himself controls the start of the pool's work cycles, the filter pump and drain valve, the temperature, etc. It must be taken into account that in this mode the user has control and during this time the security features are deactivated.

Automatic tactics in pool home automation

• Automatic. With this mode, the user leaves the control of the pool in the hands of Loxone's intelligent system, in terms of temperature, cycles, position of pumps and valves...

Types of home automation systems in the pool

Home automation systems or smart pools as they are also called, depend on the manufacturer, since each one develops different systems and will be applied to different types of machines. In some cases, in fact, it is closed systems, in which home automation equipment simply allows us to control equipment from the same manufacturer or even from a certain range. However, there are also open systems, which allow installing elements from different manufacturers.

Although during this article we will be able to find different home automation applications for the pool, let's first see what elements we can find generically in a home automation system.

Elements of a home automation system

How to control your pool with home automation

Pool home automation video control

Then The control of a home automation pool, smart pool or automatic pool is shown in a video (all names are valid!)

Types of automatic pool dosing systems

Pool maintenance to disinfect the water must be carried out through the dosage of chemical products (we check parameters such as ORP, Free Chlorine, pH and water temperature).

Salt chlorination devices

The chlorination devices salina designed as smart objects allow us to customize digital configurations and facilitate communication between different devices, such as heat pumps or lighting systems.

These devices make the control of all elements of the pool and garden simple and intuitive. These salt electrolysis plants also stand out for their individual control functions, which can be adapted and customized by integrating different functions. In addition, it allows parameters to be adjusted according to our needs: pH, redox, ppm, Cu/Ag, etc.
