1. A method for remotely monitoring and controlling equipment for a pool or a spa, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a pump having a housing enclosing (i) a processor for controlling the pump and (ii) a network communication subsystem for providing direct communication between the processor and the Internet;

    establishing a network connection between the processor of the pump and a remote pool or spa device;

    monitoring an operational parameter of the remote pool or spa device by the processor of the pump over the network connection;

    receiving at the processor of the pump a desired value for the monitored operational parameter of the remote pool or spa device;

    determining by the processor of the pump a setpoint for the pump based on the monitored operational parameter and the desired value for the monitored operational parameter of the remote pool or spa device; and

    controlling the pump to operate at the setpoint determined by the processor of the pump.
