V?GNER POOL Capability with SEKO PoolDose

S.C.O.R.E. → Convenience → Device Control

Overview

The V?GNER POOL capability allows homeowners to automate the chemical dosing of their swimming pool, ensuring optimal water quality without manual intervention. This not only saves time but also enhances the safety and enjoyment of the pool for family and guests.

Benefits

• Automates chemical dosing for consistent water quality
• Reduces the time spent on pool maintenance
• Enhances safety by preventing chemical imbalances

Intent

The purpose of the V?GNER POOL capability is to provide an automated solution for managing pool chemistry. By integrating with SEKO PoolDose, it allows for real-time monitoring and adjustment of chemical levels, leading to a healthier swimming environment.

Preconditions

• SEKO PoolDose device installed and configured.
• Home Assistant integration set up.
• Pool water chemistry sensors operational.
• Home Assistant installed and configured.
• Integration available and authenticated: Zigbee2MQTT.
• Device installed and reachable: RainMachine Version 2 (API 4.6.1).

Actors

• Homeowner monitoring pool health
• Family members enjoying the pool
• Guests using the pool

Trigger

The capability is triggered by sensor readings that indicate chemical levels are outside the desired range, prompting adjustments.

Workflow Description

1. Monitor Water Chemistry

Sensors continuously monitor the pool’s water chemistry, including pH and chlorine levels.

2. Evaluate Chemical Levels

When readings are taken, the system evaluates whether the chemical levels are within the optimal range.

3. Adjust Chemicals if Necessary

If levels are not optimal, the SEKO PoolDose automatically adjusts the chemical dosage based on the readings.

4. Notify Homeowner

The system sends a notification to the homeowner indicating adjustments have been made.

5. Log Chemical Changes

All adjustments and readings are logged for future reference and analysis.

Postconditions

After the capability completes, the pool water chemistry is balanced, and the homeowner is informed of any adjustments made.

Optional Enhancements

• Integrate with a weather API to adjust dosing based on rainfall or temperature changes
• Provide a monthly report on water chemistry trends
• Enable manual overrides through a mobile app
