I don't know if anyone wants it since Maytronics has wifi version now, But i wanted it and now i can start my cleaner from anywhere! This was a neat project to do.
Fairly simple exposing most of the pool cleaners options and i added a couple sensors to know if cleaner is on, cleaning and powered on. Obviously you need a a good bluetooth signal to your cleaner and Home Assistant and you also need the MAC of your cleaner.
Any ideas to improve integration just open issue on github. I started fresh on repo with "official" v1.0.0 release and may cause hacs to not see custom repo properly if you installed integration before. Sorry for confusion but you will need to possibly delete and re-install integration.
Added scheduling to card now. Still working on cleaner state reliability in HA as it is currently it can say unknown or done for a few minutes but still be "cleaning" but will eventually work out all the bugs
This is awesome. My nautilus cc does not officially support BLE (but control panel has it) and has BLE address on back. With this integration, I can at least the "PS state data OK" goes on when its working. Pretty neat, nothing else works but do not really expect it to. nice job!
Awesome! Glad that at least works for you. Does your model support any dolphin app? Maybe we could improve this for your model(maybe) if you try the card for cleaner I made(link is in readme of repo) maybe that scheduler will work too.
Hi Mate. I have a Maytronics Dolphin and I can see it through this add-on. I'd be very interested to see what it can do and what you can expose as far as enabling it to run etc.. That way I don't have to go and turn on the silly power supply every week!
Can you power on the robot with the BLE connection? I’m assuming no since you said nothing else works. I have the same system (BLE power supply, dumb, wired robot) and wanted to clarify before I get too excited.
Yes you can! and if you use my pool card(not required but makes things easier) it has 2 run schedules per day and my cleaner has been running twice a day for months now with no issues.
You must have a cleaner that only works with the dolphin app(bluetooth only cleaner) NOT the dolphin plus app(wifi/bluetooth)
@randr@stephenpthorn For my nautilus, which has BLE on the control panel but not sold as BLE capable, I have not successfully been able to control it with integration or the app.
The integration identifies it and sensors change state, but do not correlate to what is happening on the control panel.
Try to get it working in the app first. If it does work in the official app, maybe there is some hope.
I keep meaning to play with this more, but have not had the time.
Great! If you use my “pool card” that is great way to use scheduler. If at anytime pool cleaner no longer responds to integration it’s possible a power cycle is needed on cleaner power supply. I’ve had to reset mine after a storm caused power to flicker
I have another repo that supports ble for plus too. Only turns off/onn for now but works. So no matter what dolphin cleaner you get it can be controlled through home assistant
I think they all support Bluetooth and almost all are WiFi supported now. If it’s very “dumb” cleaner then obviously no way to talk to it from Home assistant.
