“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
Hi there, can you confirm you have the right URL for the repository listed above?
Conductivity was not created, is it possible to add?
Hi there – do you mean the ORP value? There should be 4 sensors created, temp, ph, orp (conductivity), and salinity.
