This is great!
I have Jandy iAquaLink without water chemical /pH , treatment, balance, or maintenance capabilities. Currently I can monitor water / air temp, pump status, freeze protection, water features, and lights.
Definitely interest in expanding my Jandy system.
The sensor icons are awesome!
Those of you using this card, can you share your card configs?

Gurulee · December 6, 2024, 10:52am

Same! I’d love to add my iAquaLink air temp sensor

Gurulee · December 6, 2024, 11:05am

How to change temp to Fahrenheit from celsius?

wilsto · December 6, 2024, 11:18am

Hello, you have a property unit in all sensors. Example

temperature:
- entity: sensor.pool_water_temp
name: ‘Water Temperature’
unit: ‘°F’

Gurulee · December 6, 2024, 1:21pm

Sweet! That did the trick. Not sure how I overlooked that unit property. Thank you so much!

UPDATE:

Here’s my manual card config:

type: custom:pool-monitor-card
sensors:
  temperature:
    - entity: sensor.pool_temp
      name: Water Temperature
      setpoint: 85
      unit: ‘°F’
    - entity: sensor.air_temp
      name: Air Temperature
      setpoint: 36
      unit: ‘°F’
  orp:
    - entity: sensor.orp
      name: Oxidation Reduction
  salinity:
    - entity: sensor.spa_salinity

I now want to invest in chemical and water level smart capabilities

Gurulee · December 6, 2024, 1:27pm

What’s everyone using for pool or hottub chemical balance and water levels that’s support by this?
I’m not looking to break the bank, because you can easily do that with this type of stuff.
Hopefully there’s some reliable highly rated add-on Solutions that I can use with my Jandy iAquaLink and Master Spas hot tub

ennebie · December 6, 2024, 1:35pm

Hi!
Do you think it can be used for other purposes?

The graphics are cute and I cannot find anything that can replicate it!!!

For example, I would like to visualise some data from the photovoltaic system:

Current production: Range 0 to 6000 kWh
Overproduction: Range 0 to 6000 kWh
Battery capacity: 0 to 100%
House current consumption: 0 to 6000 kWh

As it is, I can’t see the value from 0 to the upper limit.

Must be integrated or am I wrong somewhere?!

Thanks in advance!

wilsto · December 7, 2024, 4:43am

Hi @ennebie , I’m working on a spin-off that will enable this functionality, and it should be out soon, so I’ll keep you posted.

ennebie · December 7, 2024, 5:20pm

Wow! good to know!
Can’t wait for it! Hope to see it soon!

I warn you, I’m buying you a coffee

Hi,

tommymsw · February 23, 2025, 10:24pm

This would be pretty amazing also as just a heat and humidity card for a room.

apsmith12 · April 17, 2025, 1:15am

Fantastic card. A few suggestions or requests:
Ability to adjust size of elements, font etc, the card doesn’t seem to work with card mod.

Ability to customize sensors/types so it can be used beyond just pool items, for example pollen or UV.

AdoraBelle · April 30, 2025, 4:45pm

Thank you so much, this card is extremely useful!

I do have one problem that I cannot seem to figure out - the colors option does not seem to work … I might be missing something?

Just for kicks I changed all the colors to the same one so I can make sure it is obvious if it works - and it does not Any pointers?

My card:

The YAML:

type: custom:pool-monitor-card
colors:
  normal_color: "#881531"
  low_color: "#881531"
  warn_color: "#881531"
  cool_color: "#881531"
  marker_color: "#881531"
  hi_low_color: "#881531"
sensors:
  temperature:
    - entity: sensor.waterguru_theoasis_water_temperature
  ph:
    - entity: sensor.waterguru_theoasis_ph

saveNAT · May 24, 2025, 6:19am

Wow a really great card, thank you!

How do yo measure your values for ph, orp, etc?
Anyone using a non china metering solution like an esp32 or something else?

my Ospa Pool central delivers Chlor mg/l

What is the right sensor vor a value like 0.5mg/l ? Because if I use free_chlorine I get a Scala with the wrong thresholds… 3.0mg/l seems to bee too high if I ask the internet…

type: custom:pool-monitor-card
sensors:
  free_chlorine:
    - entity: sensor.chlor
      min: 0.3
      max: 0.6
  ph:
    - entity: sensor.ph_wert
  orp:
    - entity: sensor.redox_wert
  temperature:
    - entity: sensor.wassertemperatur

SebastianM · June 7, 2025, 2:57pm

fixed it with these settings:

type: custom:pool-monitor-card
title: Poolüberwachung
sensors:
temperature:
- entity: sensor.wassertemperatur
ph:
- entity: sensor.ph_wert
free_chlorine:
- entity: sensor.chlor
setpoint: 0.5
step: 0.15
orp:
- entity: sensor.redox_wert

Hi

Thanks for sharing. Works fine with my Bayrol.
BUT I have a question. How can I change the background Transparenz.
I can change it in all my cards with card-mod, but it dosn’t work with Pool Monitor cards.
Does anyone have any idea how I can make the background transparent and the map borderless?

Thank you
