So, you meant a dashboard for this open-source project:

Otherwise, nice dashboard, but not quoting the source of the code is really questionable…

WifiWhirl · December 27, 2023, 9:28pm

Yes, its based on the visualapproach Project and should work with it too.

metaljay · January 14, 2024, 7:01pm

Sorry you say “based on” - your board is direct clone all the way down to the PCB layout and options around LLC. You’ve even removed the text to his GitHub.
You really should link directly back to his site when the entire thing is free and open source

I’ve got an issue with my hot tub no longer connecting, however it looks like an issue with the bestway app as I can no longer access the ho tub when outside of my WiFi.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue recently?

fugley · April 23, 2024, 8:53am

happens to me randomly, but you are right it appears to be on our side / maybe the app ? ive never found away to reconnect through HA and have to always connect through the app but once done all is fine again

scooper86 · April 23, 2024, 9:15am

If I log in the bestway app it’s fine until I leave my home network, at this point I can no longer control the hot tub saying it’s offline.

Could you expand a bit more on what you do to resolve the issue?

Thanks

scooper86 · April 25, 2024, 11:49am

And it’s back up, assume it was an issue on bestways side.

miczu71 · May 15, 2024, 7:17pm

Hi,

Is this method - I’m refering especially to GitHub - cdpuk/ha-bestway: Home Assistant integration for Bestway / Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs and @cdpuk - still working?

I just saw Layz Spa Hawaii - no longer seems to work · Issue #57 · cdpuk/ha-bestway · GitHub on Github and I’m worried, since I’m about to buy the Milan hot-tub.

Appreciate your feedback.

67cruiser · May 16, 2024, 10:10pm

Anybody ever considered bypassing the controls entirely and running it on a Sonoff product - like a 4CH Pro?

(My version of the spa does not have wifi options)

Hey everyone. I don’t have any code to share, but an idea. I got my hot tub to heat up with the central heating with a feed off from a hive thermostat. Since my central heating is only 6p/kwhr it is waaay cheaper to warm up like this than with electricity. My 1st two attempts failed after I discovered that hose is a good insulator and the water came back still hot, or that hose expands/softens when hot. Eventually I used a big coil of microbore which you have to take out once people get in.

I’m not a central heating engineer and obviously my boiler would struggle to heat the house and the hot tub at the same time. Also, not a chemical engineer so don’t know if the chlorine would do something weird with the copper. So far, everything is awesome.

grey-area001 · July 7, 2024, 1:49pm

Interesting. Where is that connected to in your central heating?

GSzabados · July 7, 2024, 3:38pm

Not the first, not the last.

MontyPud · July 8, 2024, 8:51pm

I ran pipework from some existing internal plumbing to some brass taps normally used for garden hoses outside. Then some hose that was rated for high temperatures to the coil.

Hi All,

Wondering if any can help or have experienced this yet?

When I opened the lay-z spa app the other day, I was prompted to update the app.

The API endpoints seem to have changed - the old ones no longer work.

I was originally using https://mobileapi.lay-z-spa.co.uk/v1.

Doing some basic packet captures and looking at DNS logs, I see the app reaching out to https://app-api.lay-z-spa.co.uk/.

I have yet to decrypt the packet to work out the endpoints.

Anyone else experienced this or worked out the new endpoints?

ray.pering · December 14, 2024, 2:22pm

I’ve come across this today, not sure what the new endpoints are. Will be extremely grateful to anyone that works them out. I can’t find anything about the api changes from best way or lay-z-spa themselves

4ndorkocsis · February 16, 2025, 3:43pm

Thank you so much for the guide!

Has anyone managed to fully integrate Lay-Z-Spa control to HomeKit?

Home Assistant is still in the experimental phase for me (running it from container), so I haven’t connected it with HomeKit yet. Before I get started on this, I’d rather gather some information.

mk-innovations · March 13, 2025, 7:47pm

Hello,

If it’s helpful to anyone, there are now ready-made retrofit modules available for Bestway® LAY-Z-SPA™ pumps without Wi-Fi functionality. This allows the hot tub to be integrated into your smart home via MQTT.

Here’s the link for the modules and further information:
