integration

Go flipr company sells smart pool monitor and management devices. The Flipr and Flipr Hub devices publish data to the cloud via Wi-Fi and SigFox. This {% term integration %} gives you access on Home Assistant to the information measured by your Flipr with the same data as the vendor's smartphone application. This {% term integration %} gives you also access to the Flipr Hub to control your pool equipments like pump, heater, light, etc.

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

Prerequisites

You will need to use the standalone app for this device to register a username and password.

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

Flipr

Flipr sends data like pH, chlorine or temperature to a cloud server on a regular basis in order to monitor your pool.

There is currently support for the following information within Home Assistant via sensors and binary_sensors :

Entities

Sensors

  • Chlorine: the chlorine level
  • pH: the pH level of the water
  • Water temperature: the temperature of the water
  • Red OX: the redox level of the water in mV
  • Last measure date: the date of the last measure taken by the flipr
  • Battery level: the battery level of the flipr in percentage

Binary sensors

  • pH Status: an indicator if the pH level is normal, too low, or too high
  • Chlorine status: an indicator if the chlorine level is normal, too low, or too high

Hub

The Hub lets you handle your equipment (pump, heater, light, etc.) from Home Assistant and all of the automation you can imagine.

  • Turn on/off the switch inside the Hub and automatically set the Hub in manual mode.
  • Choose the mode of the Hub between auto, planning and manual.

Actions

The cloud data is polled every 15 minutes. If you want to force a refresh of the data, you can use the homeassistant.update_entity action.

Tips

It is recommended that you create your own card with the following sensors where [fliprid] is the id of your flipr:

  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_chlorine
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_ph
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_red_ox
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_water_temp
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_last_measured
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_battery_level

Leave binary_sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_ph_status and binary_sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_chlorine_status as badges.
