Abstract: A system and a method for performing an automated winterization process for a swimming pool or spa are provided. A temperature sensor collects a sensed temperature value, which is transmitted and processed by a control system of a connected aquatic system. Based on the sensed temperature value, the swimming pool or spa control system executes the automated winterization process for the swimming pool or spa. The automated winterization process includes displacing water with air using an air-moving device in a first loop path and a second loop path using one or more actuated automatic valves.

Abstract: A modular biometric station system is used to form one or more modular biometric stations with cohesive form factors. Such biometric stations include a core unit, one or more end caps, and one or more modules. The modules may be configured to communicably and electrically couple to one or more of the end caps. The end caps may be configured to communicably and electrically couple to the core unit and/or one or more of the modules and may communicably and electrically couple one or more of the modules to the core unit. The core unit, end caps, and/or the modules may be able to communicably interact when coupled together. The core unit, end caps, and modules may all share a form factor. The core unit may include hardware and/or software that satisfies common requirements, and the modules may include peripherals and/or other components that can be coupled to the core unit to adapt the modular biometric station to a variety of different needs of different applications.
