Smart Pool AI — Pool Control That Actually Works Works with Pentair IntelliCenter®, Pentair ScreenLogic®, Jandy® iAquaLink®, and Hayward® OmniLogic®. Built for pool owners who want more than the stock app — faster, smarter, and more reliable, on every device you own. FAST, RELIABLE CONTROL Turn your pool, spa, lights, jets, waterfall, and more on or off instantly. No spinning wheels, no dropped commands, no hunting through menus. SMART HEAT — KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT'S READY Smart Pool AI learns your pool's real heat-up rate and tells you before you even turn the heater on: "Takes ~26 min to heat to 97°F" — right on the card. Set a target time and it starts the heater automatically, tracks progress live on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, and tells you the moment it's ready. SMART SCENES — YOUR VIBE Save your perfect pool setup as a scene. One tap for Movie Night. One tap for Morning Swim. Tell Alexa to set the scene hands-free. REAL-TIME STATUS Water temperature, equipment status, and schedules — live, at a glance. KIOSK MODE — CONTROL FROM THE WALL Mount an iPad by your pool and flip it landscape. Smart Pool AI transforms into a full-screen control panel — everything at a glance, always on, always ready. Perfect for outdoor kitchens, pool houses, or anywhere you want hands-free control within reach. DARK MODE Easy on the eyes day or night. Automatically matches your device setting. BUILT BY A POOL OWNER Frustrated by apps that don't work, I built this for myself — and for every pool owner who deserves better, whatever brand runs their equipment. Everyday pool control is free. Premium — unlimited Smart Heat, scenes, schedules, guest access, and Kiosk Mode — is $9.99/month with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime.
