I finally can connect HA to my Bestway Spa.
Now I still have to figure out some stuff, but we’re getting there.
Hello
iam very new to HA, i installed the extension with HACS but how can i install the nice entitities ?
Is there somewhere a howto or a wiki?
Thanks a lot
ok jist copied all under config\packages\hottub-lay-z-spa into my folders added the packages string to the configuration but i got the error loading the config
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: Secret hottub_api_did not defined
You need a secrets file in the folder with your file. I can’t share it on github as it contains my own passwords etc.
Anything in my files that says…
!secret xxx_xxx_xxx
needs an entry in a
secrets.yaml
file.
Like:
hottub_email_password: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’ll post an example copy of the secrets file later.
I’ve added an example secrets file to my github.
If you read the beginning of this thread, it will explain how things work.
ok i set up the secret and loaded all entities into one card which shows up as in the pictures but i can´t get a connection,
I’ve added the integration from HACS, but i don’t get any control buttons except temperature of the pump, heater etc. What is wrong?
I wonder if anyone could help, I’ve managed to get the first piece, the hottub_login token, however when I use this in the second, all hottub_bindings returns is “Unknown”. Any assistance appreciated, as this could be an amazing set up if I can get it working 
Thank you.
If you download something like “postman”, you could experiment with the web calls that it is using to see what results you get.
Have given it a go, I don’t really know how to use it (I set the headers), it just responds with ‘{devices[]}’
Unfortunately I don’t have a la-z-spa tub anymore, so can’t really offer much support as I can’t test anything.
Sorry !

I got it sorted Bruce - I needed to follow the Lay Z Spa instructions not the beltway - it works a treat - thanks so much.
Would you mind providing me with the code for this view? It looks awesome!
I have completely changed my setup - which differs to the original integration what in particular are you interested in?

I had some issues with the thermostat card. It doesn’t work fully. It shows current temp but if I set lower or higher it doesn’t change anything. Heating on/off doesn’t work either
here is my yaml code for the thermostat if you want to compare - I use packages
climate:
- platform: generic_thermostat
name: Hottub
heater: switch.hottub_heat
target_sensor: sensor.hottub_water_temp
min_temp: 10
max_temp: 40
min_cycle_duration:
seconds: 10
target_temp: 12
precision: 1
initial_hvac_mode: "heat"
ac_mode: false
cold_tolerance: 1
hot_tolerance: 0.0

Got it working. Thanks
With summer well on the way, I recently purchased a Milan Airjet Plus, and thanks to the hard work of everyone here, I’ve wrapped up everything in a custom integration, installable via HACS.
Feedback and contributions very much welcome.
