Automation bridge for connecting automation systems to pool equipment networks

A method for integrating automation platforms and pool equipment networks, comprising:

• transmitting one or more data inputs via one or more sensors communicatively connected to a pool equipment network;
• outputting one or more command signals based on the data inputs via an autonomous platform, the autonomous platform having one or more automation systems;
• and
• communicatively connecting an automation bridge to the automation platform and the pool equipment network, wherein the automation bridge is configured to:
• intercept the one or more command signals from the autonomous platform via a code receiving unit;
• process the one or more command signals via a processor unit;
• translate the one or more command signals into one or more consolidated command outputs readable by the pool equipment network;
• and
• send the one or more consolidated command outputs to the pool equipment network.

A swimming pool lighting control system for connecting automation systems to lights, comprising:

• an autonomous platform having one or more automation systems, the autonomous platform configured to output one or more command signals;
• one or more lights;
• and
• a lighting control module configured to:
• intercept a command signal output by at least one automation system;
• process a command signal via a processor unit;
• translate the command signal into a consolidated command output;
• and
• send the consolidated command output to at least one light having an input differing from the command signal output, wherein the at least one light is configured to receive the consolidated command output.
