Systems and methods for wireless monitoring of pool pumps based on geographic location

A method of remotely monitoring a pump for 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 for the pump to the cloud based server;
• transmitting the geographic location from the cloud based server to a manufacturer database;
• establishing communication between the cloud based server and a remote user device;
• uploading a parameter from the controller of the pump to the cloud based server;
• providing for remote monitoring of the parameter from the remote user device over the wireless connection;
• determining whether the parameter has exceeded a predetermined value;
• sending a first alert message to the remote user device when the parameter has exceeded the predetermined value, the first message including a first report documenting multiple data points of the parameter;
• accessing the manufacturer database to determine the geographic location of the pump;
• sending a second alert message to a device manufacturer through the wireless adapter and the cloud based server that the pump may need service at the geographic location;
• scrubbing user information from the first report to generate an anonymized report;
• and
• transmitting the anonymized report to a third party server.
