Automation bridge for connecting automation systems to pool equipment networks

Abstract

A swimming pool equipment control system for integrating automation platforms and pool equipment networks has a pool equipment network configured to receive one or more translated command outputs. The pool equipment network has one or more sensors configured to transmit one or more data inputs. An autonomous platform configured to output one or more command signals based on the data inputs. The automation bridge is communicatively connected to the one or more automation systems and one or more pool equipment systems, 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. 28 20 26 20 23 74 27 M ar 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 0 2 3 7 4 2 7 M a r 2 0 2 6 2 8 2 0 2 6 2 0 2 3 7 4 2 7 M a r 2 0 2 6 2 8 F IG . 3 C o d e re ce iv ed C o d e p ro ce ss ed P ro to co l tr an sm is si o n F ir st au to m at io n sy st em S ec o n d a u to m at io n sy st em T h ir d a u to m at io n sy st em N th a u to m at io n sy st em 1 2 2 0 0 1 4 a 1 4 b 1 4 c 1 4 d 1 5 1 0 2 2 0 1 0 4 1 0 6 2 4 2 6 2 8 2 2 W at er fe at u re s C h em ic al D is p en se rs S en so rs 1 4 V ar io u s li g h ts E x te rn al i n p u ts S af et y s y st em s A le rt s S ch ed u le W ea th er V o ic e / T ac ti le 3 2 3 0 3 3 1 7 U se r d ev ic e M ai n te n an ce 1 9 3 4 P u m p s H ea te rs V al v es C h il le rs 3 1 4 4 3 5 1 6 3 6 3 7 3 8 3 9 4 6 4 3 4 2 4 1 4 0 C o v er s 4 5 3 / 4 14a 14b 14c 14d 3 / 4 14 First Second automation Third automation Nth automation automation system system system system 22 External inputs 20 200 Voice / Tactile 40 102 12 Schedule 41 Code received Weather 42 104 User device 43 24 106 33 Code Protocol 26 processed transmission 31 16 44 28 38 32 45 17 Pumps Various Sensors Covers Safety systems Heaters lights Alerts 39 Chemical 19 30 Valves Water 15 features Dispensers Maintenance 46 34 Chillers 35 37 36 FIG. 3 20 26 20 23 74 27 M ar 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 0 2 3 7 4 2 7 M a r 2 0 2 6 1 4 a 1 4 b 1 4 c 1 4 d 3 / 4 1 4 F i r s tS e c o n d a u t o m a t i o n T h i r d a u t o m a t i o n N t h a u t o m a t i o n a u t o m a t i o n s y s t e m s y s t e m s y s t e m s y s t e m 2 2 E x t e r n a l i n p u t s 2 0 2 0 0 V o i c e / T a c t i l e4 0 1 0 21 2 S c h e d u l e 4 1 C o d e r e c e i v e d W e a t h e r 4 2 1 0 4 U s e r d e v i c e 4 3 2 41 0 6 3 3 C o d e P r o t o c o l 2 6 p r o c e s s e d t r a n s m i s s i o n 3 11 6 4 4 2 83 8 3 2 4 5 1 7 P u m p s V a r i o u s S e n s o r s C o v e r s S a f e t y s y s t e m s H e a t e r s l i g h t s A l e r t s 3 9 C h e m i c a l 1 9 3 0 V a l v e s W a t e r 1 5 C h i l l e r s f e a t u r e s D i s p e n s e r s M a i n t e n a n c e 4 6 3 4 3 5 3 7 3 6 F I G . 3 2 0 2 6 2 0 2 3 7 4 2 7 M a r 2 0 2 6 1 4 a 1 4 b 3 / 4 1 4 F i r s t a u t o m a t i o n s y s t e m s y s t e m 2 2 E x t e r n a l i n p u t s 2 0 0 V o i c e / T a c t i l e4 0 S c h e d u l e 4 1 W e a t h e r 4 2 1 0 4 U s e r d e v i c e 4 3 2 4 3 3 C o d e 2 6 p r o c e s s e d 3 1 1 6 4 4 3 2 4 5 P u m p s V a r i o u s S e n s o r s C o v e r s H e a t e r s l i g h t s 1 9 3 0 V a l v e s W a t e r C h i l l e r s f e a t u r e s D i s p e n s e r s 3 4 3 53 6 F I G . 3
