The Balboa Spa Client {% term integration %} adds support for Balboa Spa WiFi Modules to be used within Home Assistant.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

  • Binary sensor (Filter cycles and circulation pumps)
  • Climate
  • Event (Last known fault, if any)
  • Fan (Pumps/Jets)
  • Light
  • Select (Low/high temperature range)
  • Switch (Enable/disable filter cycle 2)
  • Time (Set filter cycle start/end times)

Compatible hardware

Balboa Spa Client integration support local control of hot tub spas equipped with a Balboa BP system and a bwa™ Wi-Fi Module (50350).

Balboa Spa Client integration is not compatible with ControlMySpa™ cloud API used by Balboa ControlMySpa Gateway Ultra (59303).

Known limitations

  • The WiFi Module is a direct connection to the control panel of the spa. Certain combinations of settings are not possible due to limitations of the spa.
  • Turning on certain pumps, depending on the spa configuration, may cause other pumps to come online as well.
  • The spa WiFi Module will need to be configured initially by the phone app to authenticate and get an IP on your network.
  • The WiFi Module will automatically disconnect from Home Assistant periodically, and then be automatically reconnected. The disconnect is built-in to the hardware.
