The flow does this:
- Runs the pool from 1000 - 1500 in the winter and 1130 - dusk in the summer.
- If we’re in the spa, I don’t want it to automatically turn off at shutdown time, so I check to see if the spa is running and if so, keep the pool pump on.
- I wrote in an override so I can hit a button in the HA dashboard and keep the pool on or off longer for whatever reason.
I’d like to simplify the flow and run the pool pump based on pool water temperature, and also keep the override button, but not sure how to begin. This is what I’m thinking:
If the pool is <70F, pool shuts off at 1500. If the pool is >70F, pool shuts off at dusk. To read the pool temperature, the pool pump must be on, so I’m not going to modify start times.
Here’s my existing flow:
