“Since when is eggnog a Christmas drink? Eggs are available all year ’round. I’ve been known to enjoy this poolside.” – Sheldon Cooper.
Ever since I’ve had a Blueriiot Blue Connect Plus for my swimming pool, I’ve been pulling the data into Home Assistant. Originally it was with an IFTTT interface – but that has long since been discontinued. A friend put me onto a GitHub repository where someone had reverse engineered the API and could query the status directly. I’ve since been using that inside a container that ran along side my Home Assistant instance.
Today I finally got around to moving the code out into a standalone add-on, so that anyone with a Blue Connect Plus can extract the data into Home Assistant.
Installation requires an additional repository to be added to Home Assistant. The repository URL is: https://github.com/MikeJMcGuire/HASSAddons. From there, the installation is pretty straight forward. You simply specify your Blueriiot username and password, and your MQTT details; and then the add-on will do the rest. The rest means creating 5 entities in Home Assistant – temperature (C/F), Orp, Ph, Salinity, and updating them every 30 minutes. The entities are registered and updated via MQTT.

Hi Mike
Thanks so much for this – it makes the BlueConnect worthwhile !
Fantastic work as always (happy user of your Que container here)
Brilliant, thanks!
Nice to integrate but I get not information. Integration find my Blue connect but Qos is 0 always. I already have the entitities but no data on it.
Any feedback or any problem on it?
I could see that I have blue connect standard and not plus. Is this the reason?. I have premium suscription.
When trying to add the repository to Homeassistant I ghet a warning message stating this is not a valid repository. I had the integration installed before but now it is gone and I can not add it again
