“Sustainability” and “simplicity” are the cornerstones of the technological future of the SPA. Based on these principles, Astrel’s MODO division has introduced to the market two radical innovations for spa management: ADOP, an open communication protocol for HOME AUTOMATION integration and SMSevo, a GSM module managed via an APP providing remote control capabilities for spas.
The ADOP open protocol is big news on the international market of electronic spa controls: all spas equipped with the MODO electronic control panel by Astrel can be integrated into building automation systems of any make or model.
So what does it provide? Increased comfort, simplified management (it leverages the existing home automation infrastructure to provide full control of the SPA) and energy saving, with the possibility of managing the water temperature and filtration cycles in a completely customised and automated way.
Another important innovation of the MODO offering for SPAS is the SMSevo system: an integrated solution that, thanks to its GSM module with SIM card and free APP for iPhone and Android, allows you to control the main functions of your SPA (e.g. the set-point water temperature) using simple SMS commands.
This is a practical (no internet connection required), economic and user-friendly solution that allows its users to reduce costs and benefit from a SPA that is always ready for use, even in second homes, thus minimizing power consumption.
In the near future, MODO expects to extend these innovations to control systems for saunas, swimming pools and Turkish baths, and has already initiated important collaborations with an internationally renowned system integrator.
