By using various smart sensors integrated in a global domotic system, a proper solar thermal management is executed. The goal is to properly manage solar energy for heating swimming pool using various devices installed at home. Swimming pools are a necessity in many communities. In summer, they are a source of refreshment. However, maintaining a swimming pool at an optimal temperature can be a challenge even in the summer months. The use of the Internet of Things in homes has enabled proper management of solar thermal energy, thus significantly improving the quality of life by making homes more comfortable and safer without using additional resources. The houses built today have several smart devices that manage to optimize the energy consumption of the house. The solutions proposed in this study to improve energy efficiency in swimming pool facilities include the installation of solar collectors to heat swimming pool water more efficiently. The installation of smart actuation devices (to efficiently control energy consumption of a pool facility via different processes) together with sensors that provide valuable information on energy consumption in the different processes of a pool facility, can optimize energy consumption thus reducing overall consumption (by 90%) and economic cost (by more than 40%). Together, these solutions can help to significantly reduce energy consumption and economic costs and extrapolate it to different processes of similar characteristics in the rest of the society.
通过在全局家庭自动化系统中集成各种智能传感器，可以执行适当的太阳能热管理。目标是使用安装在家中的各种设备来合理管理用于加热游泳池的太阳能。游泳池在许多社区都是必需品。在夏天，它们是清凉的来源。然而，即使在夏季，保持游泳池的最佳温度也是一项挑战。物联网在家庭中的使用实现了对太阳能热能的合理管理，从而通过使家庭更加舒适和安全而无需使用额外的资源，显著提高了生活质量。如今建造的房屋有许多智能设备，可以有效地优化房屋的能源消耗。本研究提出的提高游泳池设施能源效率的解决方案包括安装太阳能集热器，以更有效地加热游泳池水。安装智能致动器（通过不同的过程有效地控制游泳池设施的能源消耗）以及提供有关游泳池设施不同过程中能源消耗的有价值信息的传感器，可以优化能源消耗，从而降低总能耗（降低 90%）和经济成本（降低 40%以上）。这些解决方案共同有助于显著降低能源消耗和经济成本，并将其推广到社会中具有类似特征的其他过程中。
