Hi!
So, previously I posted about a Home Assistant Integration that I created which is the Solem Toolkit, for controlling the watering of Solem BL2IP models. I mentioned that I would be working on another Integration that would do a few more things, namely scheduling the watering according to a monthly schedule, taking into account the weather forecast, how much it rained, how much will it rain, etc.
So I created the Solem Bluetooth Watering Controller Integration. For now it only works for the BLIP model, but I also have an BLNR model and I will reverse engineering the communication with the device to figure out how to send commands to it.
You can install this integration as any other custom component, through HACS. I’m also thinking about the possibility of extracting an integration from this one to be used with any other watering controller (I would only need to create an adapter for each one that would integrate with this new one).
If you try it, any feedback is welcome.
