Systems and methods for wireless monitoring and control of pool chemical controllers

A method of remotely monitoring a chemical controller for use with a pool or spa, the method comprising:

• assigning an internet protocol address to the chemical controller;
• connecting a wireless adapter to the chemical controller;
• establishing a wireless connection between the wireless adapter and a cloud based server via a wireless gateway;
• establishing communication between the cloud based server and a remote user device;
• uploading a chemical level parameter and a geographic location from the chemical controller to the cloud based server;
• providing for remote monitoring of the chemical level parameter from the remote user device over the wireless connection;
• updating the chemical level parameter provided to the remote user device in response to a refresh gesture being performed on an interface of the remote user device;
• determining periodically whether the chemical level parameter is less than a predetermined value;
• sending messages to the cloud based server when the chemical level parameter is less than the predetermined value;
• and
• generating a trend analysis based on the messages to predict a date range when the chemical level parameter will be less than the predetermined value;
• and
• automatically dispensing chemicals at the geographic location during the date range.

• connecting a wireless adapter to the chemical controller;
• establishing a wireless connection between the wireless adapter and a cloud based server via a wireless gateway;
• establishing communication between the cloud based server and a remote user device;
• uploading a pH parameter from the chemical controller to the cloud based server;
• providing for remote monitoring of the pH parameter from the remote user device over the wireless connection;
• updating the chemical level parameter provided to the remote user device in response to a refresh gesture being performed on an interface of the remote user device;
• determining whether the pH parameter is greater than or less than a predetermined value;
• controlling from the remote user device over the wireless connection dispensing of chemicals by the chemical controller based on whether the pH parameter is greater than or less than the predetermined value.
