Poolpump Command
Note: This command only works on your system if your pump has been "smartified" with an EcoTouchController.

Overview:

The poolpump command is designed to show the monthly schedule for how long the pool pump will run. This schedule is automatically adjusted by the system to optimize energy usage while maintaining the pool's condition.

Command Structure:

poolpump

Details:

  • The command displays the pool pump's schedule for the current month, which varies depending on the time of year.
  • It does not change the schedule but simply displays the pre-programmed running times.
  • The Raspberry Pi automatically adjusts the pump's runtime each month based on the schedule.

Monthly Schedule Breakdown:

  • Winter Months (January, February, December): The pool pump runs for 2 hours to reduce energy consumption while maintaining minimal circulation.
  • Early Spring and Late Autumn (March, November): The pump operates for 4 hours as temperatures increase slightly.
  • Spring (April): The pump runs for 5 hours to prepare the pool for increased use as the weather warms.
  • Late Spring and Early Autumn (May, October): The pump runs for 7 hours to maintain regular water circulation.
  • Summer Peak (June, September): The pump operates for 9 hours to handle the increased heat and pool use.
  • Hottest Months (July, August): The pump runs for 10 hours due to the high temperatures and pool activity.
