Home Connect - Addition of "rinse aid" and "salt" sensors for dishwasher

Feature Requests
1

It would be useful to have sensors that indicate the amount of “rinse aid” and “salt” in the dishwashers.
I think they are 2 important sensors to have a perfect dishwasher maintenance.

Can you see them in the app, i cannot :slight_smile: but i got a warning notification when they are low

You’re right, but if could “intercept” the values from the notifications it would be great. :slight_smile:

I would love to have this functionality.

UPDATE:

I was wondering if it is possible to show the status (amount) of salt and/or rinse aid from my dishwasher. However I was unable to find it so I contacted Home Connect and they replied with a promising answer! Their API does have a nearly empty indicator for both of them, they just don’t seem to be part of the Home Assistant interface.
The events are called:
“Dishcare.Dishwasher.Event.SaltNearlyEmpy”
“Dishcare.Dishwasher.Event.RinseAidNearlyEmpy”.

Is there a possibility to add those events?

I would also love to have this.
if we can have this then i think i can remove the home connect app from my phone.

This would be perfect!

I’m running into the same issue today.
I would really appreciate having those two events in the HA integration.

Not possible as they are not part of the official api
In the home connect custom component is a discussion ongoing how to get it

The sensors have been added by the latest version of the Home Connect integration in HA 2024.11
