Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to devices, apparatuses, systems, and methods for sharing operational parameters for operational control of a pool or spa. In an example, a process may include accessing a set of operational parameters, detecting proximity of a user device with respect to a pool system, and responsive to detecting the proximity of the user device, sending the set of operational parameters to the user device.
Claims38
A computer-implemented method for sharing operational parameters for operational control of a pool or spa, comprising:
- accessing a set of operational parameters;
- detecting proximity of a user device with respect to a pool system;
- and
- responsive to detecting the proximity of the user device, sending the set of operational parameters to the user device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations relating to sharing operational parameters for operational control of a pool or spa, wherein the operations comprise:
- accessing a set of operational parameters;
- detecting proximity of a user device with respect to a pool system;
- and
- responsive to detecting the proximity of the user device, sending the operational parameters to the user device.
A pool system for sharing operational parameters for operational control of a pool or spa, the pool system comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- access a set of operational parameters;
- detect proximity of a user device with respect to a pool system;
- and
- responsive to detecting the proximity of the user device, send the operational parameters to the user device.
A computer-implemented method for sharing operational parameters for operational control of a pool or spa, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a cloud-connected server system, a set of operational parameters relating to operation of the pool or spa;
- receiving, from a user device, a request to access the set of operational parameters;
- responsive to receiving the request, authenticating the user device;
- and
- after authenticating the user device, sending at least a portion of the set of operational parameters to the user device.
The computer-implemented method of claim 29, wherein the first user device is associated with a first user profile and the second user device is associated with a second user profile.
A method for sharing operational parameters for operational control of a pool or spa, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller of a pool system and using a first communication protocol, a set of operational parameters from a connected device of the pool system;
- sending, by the controller and using a second communication protocol, the operational parameters to a pool automation system of the pool system;
- and
- sending, by the pool automation system and using a third communication protocol, the operational parameters to an external computing device.
A method for sharing operational parameters for operational control of a pool or spa, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller of pool equipment and using a first communication protocol, operational parameters from an automation system of a pool system;
- storing the operational parameters in memory of the pool equipment that is associated with the automation system;
- detecting a connection between the pool equipment and an external computing device;
- and
- sending, using a second communication protocol, the operational parameters to the external computing device based on detecting the connection.
