    Is this a light or sensor of some kind?

    Hi all! This it in the shallow end of my pool. Anyone know what it is? I have a pool light in the middle of the pool but it doesn’t light the shallow end. I wonder if this is some kind of light? Or maybe a thermometer of some kind? It’s about an inch and half to 2 inches in diameter. thank you!
