Abstract
A method for determining a temperature of a fluid of a pool, the method may include: measuring at least one pool cleaning robot (PCR) parameter in relation to a period of time and by one or more PCR sensors located within an interior of the PCR; calculating at least one period of time PCR parameter; determining at least one value of at least one PCR parameter weight based on at least one value of the at least one period of time PCR parameter; and determining the temperature of the fluid of the pool based on the at least one period of time PCR parameter and the at least one PCR parameter weight.

A method for determining a temperature of a fluid of a pool, the method comprises:
- measuring pool cleaning robot (PCR) parameters multiple times during a period of time and by one or more PCR sensors located within an interior of the PCR;
- the measuring is executed by the one or more PCR sensors without having direct contact with the fluid of the pool and while the PCR is located at different locations within the pool;
- transmitting the multiple PCR parameters to a processor of the PCR that is located within a waterproof inner housing of the PCR;
- calculating, by the processor, period of time PCR parameters;
- determining, by the processor, values of PCR parameter weights based on values of the period of time PCR parameters;
- and
- determining, by the processor, the temperature of the fluid of the pool, the determining of the temperature of the fluid of the pool comprises calculating a weighted sum by adding products of multiplications between the PCR parameters and corresponding PCR parameter weights.
