Abstract[English]
A self-propelled pool cleaner is operable in a swimming pool or spa and may be controlled pursuant to various operating modes. In some aspects, the self-propelled pool cleaner may have optimized operation based on a status of other components of a pool system. Additionally, or alternatively, the self-propelled pool cleaner may have improved control to minimize interference with use of the pool by a user, based on electricity costs, combinations thereof, and/or as otherwise desired such that the pool cleaner may operate at preferred and/or desired times.[French]
Un appareil de nettoyage de piscine autopropulsé peut être utilisé dans une piscine ou un spa et peut être commandé conformément à divers modes de fonctionnement. Selon certains aspects, l'appareil de nettoyage de piscine autopropulsé peut présenter un fonctionnement optimisé sur la base d'un état d'autres composants d'un système de piscine. De plus, ou en variante, l'appareil de nettoyage de piscine autopropulsé peut présenter une commande améliorée pour réduire au minimum les interférences avec l'utilisation de la piscine par un utilisateur, sur la base des coûts d'électricité, de combinaisons de ceux-ci, et/ou selon ce qui est souhaité de telle sorte que l'appareil de nettoyage de piscine peut fonctionner à des moments préférés et/ou souhaités.
