The DROP integration provides connectivity with
|
||||||
|
[DROP smart water system](https://dropconnect.com) devices via a local MQTT API.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Supported devices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is currently support for the following DROP products within Home Assistant:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **DROP Hub**: centralized system status and control.
|
||||||
|
- **Leak Detector**: reports detected leaks around the home.
|
||||||
|
- **Softener**: improves water quality by decreasing water hardness with integral water shutoff.
|
||||||
|
- **Filter**: improves water quality by removing contaminants with integral water shutoff.
|
||||||
|
- **Protection Valve**: automatic water shutoff with slow leak detection.
|
||||||
|
- **Pump Controller**: smart replacement for an FSG pressure switch.
|
||||||
|
- **RO Filter**: reverse osmosis drinking water filtration.
|
||||||
|
- **Salt Sensor**: alerts when the salt level in the softener brine tank is low.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use DROP with Home Assistant, you must have already configured the [MQTT](/integrations/mqtt/) platform. It is
|
||||||
|
recommended
|
||||||
|
that you create a unique user to connect your DROP Hub to your MQTT broker. If you are
|
||||||
|
using the Mosquitto add-on, go to **Settings > Add-ons** in the Home Assistant UI and select the Mosquitto broker.
|
||||||
|
Under **Configuration**, enter a new username and password for your DROP Hub in the **Logins** field:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
- username: drop
|
||||||
|
password: your_unique_password
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using a different MQTT broker, please reference its documentation to learn how to add a new user.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable the DROP integration, use the DROP Connect app to connect your DROP Hub to your MQTT broker:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Start the DROP Connect app and connect to your DROP Hub.
|
||||||
|
- In the **Hub Network Settings** section on the **System > Advanced** page, tap the **Configure MQTT** button.
|
||||||
|
- Enter the MQTT broker address, port number, username, and password.
|
||||||
|
- Click **Connect** and confirm that the DROP Hub has connected to the MQTT broker.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once the DROP Hub is connected to your MQTT broker, the devices on your DROP system will be discovered by Home
|
||||||
|
Assistant.
|
||||||
|
Go to **Settings > Devices & Services** in the Home Assistant UI to add your DROP devices.
