Systems and methods for wireless monitoring and control of pool pumps based on environmental data

A method of remotely monitoring and controlling a pump for use with a pool or spa, the pump being coupled to a motor, the method comprising:

• assigning an internet protocol address to the pump;
• connecting a wireless adapter to a controller of the pump;
• establishing a wireless connection between the wireless adapter and a cloud based server via a wireless gateway;
• uploading a geographic location of the pump to the cloud based server;
• establishing communication between the cloud based server and a remote user device;
• sensing environmental data at the geographic location, the environmental data including at least one of air temperature, water temperature, rainfall levels, humidity, and wind speed;
• uploading the environmental data from the controller of the pump to the cloud based server;
• providing for remote monitoring of the environmental data from the remote user device over the wireless connection;
• controlling the pump based on the environmental data at the geographic location;
• generating seasonal usage trends based on the environmental data and using the seasonal usage trends to schedule predictive pool maintenance;
• aggregating historical weather patterns to generate a predictive analysis for the geographic location;
• and using the predictive analysis and the seasonal usage trends to schedule the predictive pool maintenance.
