The goal is to properly manage solar energy for heating swimming pool using various devices installed at home. Swimming pools are a necessity in many communities. In summer, they are a source of refreshment. However, maintaining a swimming pool at an optimal temperature can be a challenge even in the summer months. The use of the Internet of Things in homes has enabled proper management of solar thermal energy, thus significantly improving the quality of life by making homes more comfortable and safer without using additional resources. The houses built today have several smart devices that manage to optimize the energy consumption of the house. The solutions proposed in this study to improve energy efficiency in swimming pool facilities include the installation of solar collectors to heat swimming pool water more efficiently. The installation of smart actuation devices (to efficiently control energy consumption of a pool facility via different processes) together with sensors that provide valuable information on energy consumption in the different processes of a pool facility, can optimize energy consumption thus reducing overall consumption (by 90%) and economic cost (by more than 40%). Together, these solutions can help to significantly reduce energy consumption and economic costs and extrapolate it to different processes of similar characteristics in the rest of the society.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23052533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,27]],"date-time":"2023-02-27T02:10:46Z","timestamp":1677463846000},"page":"2533","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Internet of Things for the Intelligent Management of the Heating of a Swimming Pool by Means of Smart Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5053-7856","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c1lvaro","family":"de la Puente-Gil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Energy Resources\u2019 Smart Management (ERESMA) Research Group, Escuela Superior y T\u00e9cnica de Ingenieros de Minas, Universidad de Le\u00f3n, 24071 Le\u00f3n, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0330-3966","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"de Sim\u00f3n-Mart\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Energy Resources\u2019 Smart Management (ERESMA) Research Group, Escuela Superior y T\u00e9cnica de Ingenieros de Minas, Universidad de Le\u00f3n, 24071 Le\u00f3n, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6706-9569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Energy Resources\u2019 Smart Management (ERESMA) Research Group, Escuela Superior y T\u00e9cnica de Ingenieros de Minas, Universidad de Le\u00f3n, 24071 Le\u00f3n, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3141-4041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana-Mar\u00eda","family":"Diez-Su\u00e1rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Energy Resources\u2019 Smart Management (ERESMA) Research Group, Escuela Superior y T\u00e9cnica de Ingenieros de Minas, Universidad de Le\u00f3n, 24071 Le\u00f3n, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3646-9671","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge-Juan","family":"Blanes-Peir\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Energy Resources\u2019 Smart Management (ERESMA) Research Group, Escuela Superior y T\u00e9cnica de Ingenieros de Minas, Universidad de Le\u00f3n, 24071 Le\u00f3n, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"519","DOI":"10.1007\/s11846-019-00333-8","article-title":"Digital innovation and venturing: An introduction into the digitalization of entrepreneurship","volume":"13","author":"Kraus","year":"2019","journal-title":"Rev.
