Our model is a very simple one. It's a linear spline model and the only inputs are time of the day, day of the week, and time of the year.

Every five minutes we have a process in web methods that reads data from the swimming pool gates and stores them in our data link. We then use the pins package. We get pinned linear models from our RStudio connect and we then predict the duration. Then we pin that results table in our RStudio connect and that's what our Shiny app accesses.
