Systems and methods for providing network connectivity and remote monitoring, optimization, and control of pool/spa equipment
Systems and methods for providing network connectivity and remote monitoring, optimization, and control of pool/spa equipment are provided. “Internet-of-Things” (IoT) functionality is provided for pool and spa equipment in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Network connectivity and remote monitoring/control of pool and spa equipment is provided by various components such as a network communication and local control subsystem installed in pool/spa equipment, and other components. Also disclosed are various control processes (“pool logic”) which can be embodied as software code installed in any of the various embodiments of the present disclosure.
METHODS FOR DETERMINING FLUIDIC FLOW CONFIGURATIONS IN A POOL SYSTEM
One aspect of the invention provides a computer-implemented method for controlling a swimming pool or spa system. The computer-implemented method includes: creating a data structure representing a plurality of swimming pool system components and fluidic connections between subsets of the plurality of swimming pool system components; receiving a request to control one or more of the plurality of swimming pool system components; calculating fluidic flows through the plurality of swimming pool system components based on one or more potential configurations of the plurality of swimming pool system components capable of fulfilling the request; and detecting whether the one or more potential configurations result in unsatisfactory conditions.
HEAT CABIN WITH HOT AIR EXTRACTION
The present invention relates to a heat cabin with hot air extraction. In particular, it relates to a heat cabin (10) which is equipped with a heat supply and an exhaust air system, wherein the heat cabin (10) comprises support beams (42) and cladding panels (40) and the cladding panels (40) are aligned perpendicular to a wall or ceiling normal, and the exhaust air system comprises exhaust air openings (50) in the cladding panels (40), whose shape is determined by the support beams (42) and/or the cladding panels (40) and which have no through passage parallel to the wall or ceiling normal. Furthermore, it relates to a method for operating a heat cabin.
VIRTUAL PANEL FOR CEILINGS AND/OR WALLS WITH WATER AND/OR AIR
A virtual panel for ceilings and/or walls with water and/or air is provided which can be installed as an accessory in an existing room (2) or during the construction of said room and which comprises an electrical or electronic device (10, 12, 16) which, when activated, displays a moving image of a virtual representation of the sky or other natural or non-natural scenery. The panel includes at least one outlet nozzle (6) for fluid, which may be water and/or air, depending on the type of room (2). The room (2) may include a receptacle (25) for housing containers (28) with essences, which incorporates a suction device (27) for emitting odours through the air nozzles (6). Concealing glass or smart foil may be provided on the screen (10) or ceiling (12) with lights (13), which becomes opaque or translucent when an electric current is applied thereto.
SPA POOL WITH BUILT-IN INFLATABLE SEAT
A SPA pool is provided including a pool body, the pool body including a pool bottom and a pool wall together defining a water cavity. The SPA pool further includes: an inflatable seat defining therein a second air chamber and disposed in the water cavity; a first nozzle assembly, wherein at least a part of the first nozzle assembly is accommodated within the inflatable seat, and a first end of the first nozzle assembly is in fluid communication with the water cavity. The pool body further includes a fluid pipeline disposed in the first air chamber, the fluid pipeline being in fluid communication with a second end of the first nozzle assembly, so that the first nozzle assembly provides fluid communication between the water cavity and the fluid pipeline.
BATHING INSTALLATION FITTING AND GROMMET ASSEMBLY
A fitting assembly for installation in an opening in a tub shell wall of a bathing installation tub. A resilient grommet is sized to be inserted into the opening and has an interior peripheral recess defined in a wall portion, having a recess cross-sectional configuration. A fitting body has a protruding external rib having a rib cross-sectional configuration complimentary to the recess cross-sectional configuration, the rib positioned on the fitting body so that when the fitting body is inserted into the grommet, the rib is received into the recess on the grommet. The grommet and fitting are configured such that the recess and the rib are positioned behind the back surface of the shell wall when installed in the opening, and the grommet is compressed by the edge of the shell opening and pushed outwardly by the rib to lock the fitting into the shell opening.
Bathtub
