Balboa spa integration for home-assistant

balboa_homeassistan's Issues

A lot Spa socket errors

I'n using te latest version (0.4) of this component. The component stops after a few hours. After a restart from Home Assistant, it works again. The logs:

_Logger: pybalboa.balboa

Any idea what it could be?

Looks like Fan entity has changed in HA

When trying to configure the pump 2 speed operation I get the following message:

failed to call service fan/set_percentage

i assume fan entity has changed in Home Assistant latest release to use percentage as speed setting rather then low/high etc…

For what it’s worth it might be better in my opinion if the pump operation was a select entity.

High range/Low range

Hi!

Is it possible to change between low- (10-26C) and highrange (26.5-40C) in home assistant? Must use the Balboa app for this now.

Finds the option for Ready / Rest but not the range.

Best regards
Thomas

pybalboa.balboa Pipe Broken

I am using the HACS version, and manually updated manifest.json to reference the update pybalboa to 0.6 and now i am logging the following error every 1second

Hi, how should I install the "config flow"?

No 'version' key in the manifest file

what model WIFI module is this supporting

Hi this isnt realy an issue per-sai I just want to confirm what model spar controler this supports. I curently have a Balboa Revolutioin which uses BWA (https://www.balboawatergroup.com/bwa) However this is the worlds worst spa controler application! and It looks likeI may have to upgrade due to an issue with my controler (main controler board has fried due to mousture).

So I am looking at getting a controler that supports Control My Spa https://www.balboawatergroup.com/ControlMySpa. but I dont want to do that if this addon only supports BWA!... I am highly frustrated that it apearss that non of the spa manufacturers have the slightes clue about integration into anything like home automation.

Not showing up after latest HA updates

After updating to the latest Core and supervisor, this integration is not showing up anymore.
I tried reinstalling version 0.6 and the master version.

Any solution to this issue available?

HA: 2021.6

Thx

need help?

I just stumbled upon pybalboa because I've started working on a component for HA and new as soon as I saw a python library that someone beat me to it.

Happy to help out here however I can.

Unable to change temperature

Just installed this through HACS, and everything seems to be working.

However, as soon as I try to change temperature(increase), it drops to 26degC, and I am unable to increase it. Any idea?

Alll options available but nothing working

I updated the version number previously when nothing was working and all seemed to be ok. However recently although all controls seem active when I switch anything on it doesnt come on and just reverts to off. Same on the temp control.

3 Pump Spa

As previously mentioned, the current software doesn't run the 3 pump spa very well I have noted down the actions of what happens when the pumps are triggered on HA

Pump 1 -
Toggle On - Turns on Pump 1 with HA into Low mode
Toggle Off - HA turns on pump 2, however the Spa has turned Pump 1 into High. Turning off Pump 1 again on HA then turns off Pump 1

Pump 2 -
Toggle On - Turns on Pump 2 & 3 on HA, however the spa has turned on Pump 2 in Low Mode
Toggle Off - Turns on Pump 2 into high mode, and unable to turn off this pump via HA in any combination

Pump 3 -
Toggle On - Turns on Pump 3 on HA, and then turns it off, however Pump 3 remains on in low mode on the spa
Toggle Off - Unable to toggle Off as when you toggle on, it immediately turns off

If I can offer any further help or support please let me know!

Thanks,

New Hot Tub

Hello,
I'm planning the buy a hot tub in the near future and want to make sure it will integrate with home assistant. Can you please let me know which of the modules of Balboa work with your component ?
What can be measured and controlled with the component ? I see heat and blowers. Can this be set to °C instead of °F ?

regards,
Jens

Connection Drops

Hi and thanks for this great addon!

I have a good wifi connection, but from time to time the integration does not get data from the wifi module.
what did I miss or did I have done wrong?

thanks for any help!

Lost some enteties when "upgrading"

I tried today to use the "new" build-in intergration after removing the custom integration from HACS but for some reason all my three pumps and the light controls are gone. There are a few errors in the log though...

VSKBP21

Firmware: M100_225 V20.0

No setup/Config prompt - Can't set this up. Help Please

I've just re-installed this all as the Balboa integration has gone.
It says that a flow will run, but there was nothing. Can I enter the configuration directly in the configuration.yaml file, of so what are the settings?

Otherwise how can I get the "There is a config flow for the spa. After installing," to run?

Custom Component implements device state attributes.

G'day,

I know you are migrating to official support as a native component, but I've just seen this message in the logs against the custom component, so figured I would raise an issue regardless:

Entity climate.backyard_spa_climate (<class 'custom_components.balboa.climate.BalboaSpaClimate'>) implements device_state_attributes. Please report it to the custom component author.

Config flow could not be loaded: {"message":"Invalid handler specified"}

I am trying to get the Balboa Spa integration to work, I have tried the integration that is shipped with Home Assistant but that only produces 4 sensors and is otherwise useless. Apparently a known issue https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/79391 the BWA integration, isn’t finished… that’s helpful… NOT! If its not finished… why is it published?

Anyway, I followed the instructions and installed the HACS version. I have installed version 0.6.1 and wouldn’t you know it… it also doesn’t work. I am getting the error “Config flow could not be loaded: {"message":"Invalid handler specified"}” I have tried to install older versions of the integration from HACS, but it always installed the same version (0.6.1)
I’m using Home Assistant OS, version 2023.3.3, Supervisor 2023.03.1, Operating System 9.5, Frontend 20230309.0 - latest

how to reduce the sampling speed?

Hi,
I noticed that when this integration is running, the access through the standard app becomes very difficult. Could this be connected to teh fact that the integrations keeping the "channel" occupied?

How can I add the wifi module's IP ?

not quite sure how to add the ip of the module, what should I write on the config file ?

Managed to integrating it. But is there a way to connect to the cloud and not local?

I managed adding it as well but only "local" which is not stable as the "cloud" and disconnects every minute.

Is there a way to connect to the "cloud connection" and not "local connection"?

Seeing errors in my logs - anything to worry about?

Integration is using deprecated `DEVICE_CLASS_*` constants

This custom integration uses deprecated DEVICE_CLASS_* constants in its codebase.

The DEVICE_CLASS_* constants have been deprecated and replaced in Home Assistant Core 2021.12 (over a year ago). I would highly suggest updating/migrating this integration to the new enums.

For example, for the device classes supported by the sensor platform, there is now a SensorDeviceClass enum. So if a sensor previously used the DEVICE_CLASS_ENERGY constant, it should now use SensorDeviceClass.ENERGY. Other platforms (like binary_sensor, and number) provide similar enumerations for their supported device classes.

The migration thus only consists of replacing constants with an enumeration member and is, therefore, very low impact and should be fairly straightforward.

If I can help resolve any questions regarding this change or migration, feel free to ask or respond to this issue. I'm happy to help!

Kindest regards,

High Speed Blower in HA?

Hi,

I have 2 pumps in my SPa. Both pumps are OFF - LOW - HIGH. I can only operate OFF or LOW with the switch. How can I get the pump into HIGH speed?

No Controls on Swim Spa

First of all, thanks so much for this. Was really excited when I saw this in the announcement for HA 2021.12. I have a swim spa with 2 swim jet pumps, the seat pump, and a recirc pump but none of the pumps are available as status or able to control however they are controlable in the BWA app.
