A Brief Description of the Violet Pool Controller

VIOLET is designed as a smart all-in-one solution for pool control, capable of managing small to fully equipped pool installations. It controls filtration, heating/solar heating, lighting (ON/OFF or DMX-enabled), backwashing, overflow tank control, water level regulation, pool cover, additional water features, and dosing.

In case of errors (e.g., sensor failure, pump running dry, faulty refill valve, etc.), notifications can be sent via email, push, or HTTP request. The configuration and operation of VIOLET are entirely browser-based, accessible via any device. Integrated statistics, log files, remote access, and a simple JSON API enable easy integration with smart home systems.
