A system and apparatus for providing improved wi-fi controls to a spa that includes a specialized antenna housing for attachment through the wall of an existing spa, away from the body of water, other electronics as well as other interfering solid obstacles. The housing attaches to the electronics inside of the spa through a connector and a cable. The antenna is housed inside of the specialized housing and is equipped with electronic controls that can provide indicator LEDs visible from the outside of the spa wall. The specialized housing terminates in a flat surface for the LEDs to emanate from or for a wi-fi logo to be placed. The specialized housing is situated flush with the spa wall and is held in place with a nut or grommet.

A bath system comprises a tub and a fluid injection system. The tub has a jet orifice, and the fluid injection system is fluidly coupled to the jet orifice. The fluid injection system comprises a conduit, a heat source, an air supply source, and a fluid injector. The conduit has a central opening. The heat source is coupled to an outer portion of the conduit external to the central opening. The air supply source is fluidly coupled to the conduit, and is configured to provide a flow of air to the central opening. The fluid injector is configured to provide an atomized spray of water to the flow of air to produce a combined flow of air and water. The heat source and the conduit are cooperatively configured to heat the combined flow of air and water in the central opening before the combined flow enters the tub through the jet orifice.

The apparatuses and methods of making and using the same are directed to bathing apparatus to support an object while bathing the object with a fluid. The bathing apparatus may comprise a support assembly constituting a support structure of the apparatus; a support surface to support the object, the support surface supported by the support portion; and a fluid catch disposed on at least three sides of the support surface, the fluid catch serving as a basin for the fluid in such manner to contain the fluid separate from the support surface. The bathing apparatus may be used in combination with a support wall that includes a plurality of channels to hold household items.

An agent analysis system includes a terminal product system, a remote diagnosis system (RDS), and an agent analyzer. The terminal product system is supplied with a power source and provided with a current sensor to sense the power source. The RDS is used to transmit at least one control instruction via internet for the terminal product system. They agent analyzer is used to communicate with the terminal product system and the RDS, and configured to measure and analyze the electricity use characteristics of the terminal product system to be transmitted to the RDS; and receive and convert the control instruction from the RDS via internet for the terminal product system.

A terminal product usable time management system includes a remote server and a local apparatus. The local apparatus includes a data memory storing an identifier and an encrypted usable time of the terminal product, a microprocessor used to send a start notification of a usable time management process, a product controller used to control a product load, and a wireless networking device used to communicate with the remote server to receive a new expiry date to update the usable time. The usable time management process includes: reading the encrypted usable time stored in the data memory, decrypting the encrypted usable time, decreasing the usable time per time unit, encrypting the decreased usable time, storing the encrypted and decreased usable time into the data memory, and instructing the product controller to disable some or all functions of the terminal product, if the usable time is inaccessible or decreased to zero.

A spa control system where the spa's heater is disconnected from the power source anytime the water in the heater is at a higher temperature than that set by the user by a prescribed amount, or more an absolute value that is higher than normal operating temperatures. Since the control system has a regular temperature management system this will only occur because of a problem in the spa or the control system itself. Independent paths between a pair of temperature sensors in the heater and the relays that connect line voltage to the heater are provided to meet the safety requirements of UL. Two sensors in the heater are co-located in a metal tube, placed near the heater.

Disclosed is a system for controlling pool/spa components. More particularly, disclosed is a system for controlling pool/spa components including a display screen and one or more processors presenting a control user interface for display on the display screen, wherein the control user interface includes a home screen comprising a first portion containing a first plurality of buttons and/or controls for controlling a first group of the plurality of pool/spa components associated with a first body of water, and a second portion containing a second plurality of buttons and/or controls for controlling a second group of the plurality of pool/spa components associated with a second body of water.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices for implementing a rotating control panel. Systems include an enclosed space of a sauna comprising a plurality of walls, an opening in at least one of the plurality of walls, and a control panel configured to be coupled with at least one heating element. The control panel includes an axis of rotation and a plurality of controls. Systems also include a rotating mount coupled with the control panel at the axis of rotation to enable the control panel to rotate at least 180 degrees within the opening of the a wall of the enclosed space of the sauna without disconnecting the at least one electrical connector. Systems include an insulating seal coupled with the control panel and configured to contact the opening when the control panel is coplanar with the wall while allowing the control panel to rotate freely within the opening.

A method for fire prevention in a sauna includes the steps of monitoring a rise of heat radiation from a sauna heater, comparing the rise of the heat radiation to a normal set heat radiation rise curve, determining whether the rise of the heat radiation of the sauna heater deviates from a normal rise in heat radiation, and

switching the sauna heater off if the rise of the heat radiation deviates from the normal rise. The invention is further directed to a system for carrying out said method.

A method and a control panel are described for facilitating the control of a bathing unit system so that the bathing unit system is caused to transition between operating in accordance with a first operational mode to operating in accordance with a second operational mode. A control signal is generated in response to a unitary user input event performed by a user at a control panel of the bathing unit system, the control signal conveying an ambiance activation command associated with a specific ambience setting, the generation of the control signal comprising selecting the specific ambience setting from a set of ambience settings stored in a memory device. The control signal is then transmitted from the control panel to the controller over a communication link where it is processed to cause the bathing unit system to transition from being in the rest mode to operating in accordance with the specific ambience setting. The method and a control panel may allow simplifying the control of the bathing unit system in order to achieve a desired total effect by allowing a user to cause the bathing unit to operate in accordance with an ambience setting by way of a unitary user input event performed at the control panel.
