From Nest to Google Home, automation is everywhere! A pool automation system allows you to connect your pool’s equipment to one central hub via wifi and control center. The system’s corresponding mobile app then allows you to control those features from your phone. Most automation systems can also connect to Echo or a similar smart device. It is convenience at its finest!
