SmartHome Pool
The SmartPool explores the development of an in-house module that floats on a pool’s surface and monitors the pool's state in real time.
The SmartPool measures:
- pH level
- Chlorine level
- Pool depth via ultrasonic sensing
- Water temperature
- UV level and
- Surface motion via accelerometer sensing
This data is captured via an ESP32 microcontroller, transmitted over WiFi and displayed on the SmartHome Server and the SmartHome Web-App. This allows the user access to all their pool data at any given time at home or via an Internet connected device. To add to this, the SmartPool features a self-sufficient design through the product's power system consisting of a rechargeable LiPo battery that is connected to a solar panel mounted on top of the enclosure.
This project is being undertaken by UQ ITEE student Matthew Smart under the supervision of Dr Alex Pudmenzky.
