The goal of this automation is to control the pump of a pool all around a year and with the best practice of my pool resealler.
For this we need 4 sensors :
1. a binary sensor to indicate if pool is in winter or summer mode (true equal summer)
2. a temperature sensor for the water
3. a switch to control the pump
4. a binary sensor to indicate if you want to be notified of pump activity (should be useful for debug)
If pool is in winter, of course we do nothing !
Then if the pool temperature is >= 24 °C the pump run for 24 hours. Otherwise it’s running the half time of the temperature balance around 14:00.
i.e : water temperature is 14.5 °C, the pump will start at 10:23, run for 7 hours and 15 mintues and so stop at 17:37
