How this automation works

Get instant notifications when your pool's pH drops too low. This Applet runs whenever your Blue Connect sensor detects that your pH level falls below your configured minimum, then sends an SMS from your Android device. Perfect for pool owners who want to maintain optimal water balance and avoid manual monitoring. Customize the message to fit your tone.
