Automate Your Pool Care with Homey

Owning a pool should feel like a luxury. But keeping the water clean, warm, and balanced can quickly turn into a daily chore. Pumps need scheduling, heaters waste energy if they run too long, and testing chemical levels often feels like guesswork. By integrating Homey into your setup, your pool starts taking care of itself, so you can enjoy it more.

Smarter Energy Use, Right on Schedule

Homey gives you full control over your pump and heating schedule without needing to micromanage it. You can set up a Flow so the pump runs during off-peak electricity hours, keeping your water clean while also lowering your energy bill. The heater can be scheduled just as precisely, warming the pool just in time for your swim, without wasting energy all day.

What makes it smarter still is how Homey adapts to the weather. On a hot and sunny day, it can dial the heater back and let the sun do the work. If it’s cloudy or cooler, Homey compensates by adjusting the heating time. All of this happens quietly in the background, so the water feels perfect the moment you dive in.

Real-Time Insights for Crystal-Clear Water

Keeping your pool’s chemistry in check is important, but traditional test kits aren’t always convenient or accurate. With a smart water monitor floating in your pool, Homey gives you constant insight into key values like pH, salinity, and total dissolved solids—right in the app.

But Homey doesn’t just show you the numbers; it helps you act on them. You can create a Flow to notify you the moment something slips outside the ideal range. If the pH dips too low, you’ll get a friendly nudge on your phone letting you know it’s time to add the right treatment.

It’s a subtle shift, but it means you catch issues early and avoid the cloudy water or irritation that comes from imbalances. Your pool stays safe, clear, and always ready for a swim.

Prep Your Pool for a Night Swim

With one Flow, Homey sets the mood for a night swim. The pool lights ease on, the garden lights dim just right, and your favorite playlist kicks in as you step outside. No remotes, no routines to remember—just everything ready when you are.

The beauty of automating your pool with Homey isn’t just the time you save—it’s the peace of mind you gain. Whether it’s managing energy use, keeping the water balanced, or setting the mood, Homey handles it so you don’t have to. You just get to enjoy what you built it for.
