AquaCell is a water-softening device made by [Culligan](https://culliganinternational.com). The [AquaCell](https://www.aquacell-waterontharder.nl/) {% term integration %} allows you to monitor your AquaCell device in Home Assistant.
|
|
You will need your Aquacell account information as used in the **AquaCell** app.
|
|
|
|
This integration also supports other [Culligan brands](https://culliganinternational.com/brands) of water softener, such as [Harvey](https://www.harveywatersofteners.co.uk/) and [TwinTec](https://www.twintec.com/) (made by Harvey) softeners.
|
|
|
|
## Supported devices
|
|
|
|
This integration only works for softener models which have an **i-Lid** and are configured through the 'Mijn AquaCell' or 'myHarvey' mobile app.
|
|
These models are also recognizable by the required curved salt blocks.

|
## Sensors
|
|
|
|
This integration provides {% term sensors %} for the following information from the softener device:
|
|
|
|
- Percentage of salt remaining.
|
|
- Time remaining until 0% salt level is reached.
|
|
- i-Lid battery level.
|
|
- Wi-Fi signal strength.
|
|
- Last update time. The time the softener last reported data to the cloud.
|
|
|
|
## Use cases
|
|
|
|
The integration provides sensors to monitor the salt level of the softener. You can use this information to create automations, for example, to notify you when the salt level is low and a refill is needed.
|
|
|
|
You can also easily plot the history of the salt level sensors over time, which can give you more insight into usage.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this integration in Home Assistant automations.
