Title:
METHODS FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING POOLS AND SPAS AND MODIFYING WATER CONTAINED THEREIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/035637
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods of (remotely) controlling aspects of pools and spas and of modifying water contained therein are detailed. Internet-enabled access to pool and spa controllers may happen without any need for users to create firewall ports or utilize static internet protocol addresses. Certain networking devices may be configured using a USB connection or SD card, avoiding any requirement for an Ethernet cable or supplying separate power to the devices during configuration. Other devices may be configured wirelessly, without need of any USB connection or SD card. Time -varying data may be obtained in respect of one or more installations and analyzed for various information.
