Balboa spa client not detecting pumps or lights #79391

Hey there @garbled1, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration ( balboa documentation |
|
I'm also having this issue, please let me know how I can assist in troubleshooting! |
|
Same, and same sentiment as the person above me ^ :D |
|
@garbled1 hi Tim, have you had a chance to look at this yet? |
|
@natekspencer hey Nate, is this something that you might be able to help with? |
|
Same here. |
|
Bump @garbled1 @natekspencer if either of you guys had time to look at this id really appreciate it as would the outer people with the same issue 😊 |
|
If any of you could run the pybalboa python package directly with your spa IP and submit the information here, as well as your spa model/expected config, that would be helpful. You'll have to make sure you disable this integration when running this or it won't be able to connect to your spa since it only allows one connection to the IP at a time. |
|
@natekspencer happy to help, but no idea how to do this - can you give some direction? |
|
hey @natekspencer im in the same boat as @VK3GG. I'm not sure how to do that but really want to get it sorted could you help out all? |
|
I think I am having a similar issue, as I don't have any filter sensors. But the integration imported two. And I do have two pumps, that did not show up. I feel like the integration mistakenly brought in the two pumps as binary sensors labeled filter1 and filter 2. They do not have any status change with the pumps. The Two Pumps, and the Light show in the Balboa App, and function. All the filled in for the entity's for me is the temp, heat, rest under the clime. And two filter entity's that don't do anything. |
|
Running the Debug in the logs I got the following |
|
I am running Homeassistant on an Intel Nuc via the system image. |
|
@natekspencer I ran the python program above, and pasted the results in the other topic. as well as logs in debug mode from HA above. |
|
Thanks, I'll take a look |
|
Ahh ok, I know the issue now. Currently, the only two entities for the official integration implemented are the climate and the binary sensor (for filter cycles/circ pump). I use my HACS integration still because the official HA core integration hasn't been completed. @garbled1 had started on it, but doesn't look like there has been any new progress on it. |
|
I deleted the HA integration, and installed it through HACS. And restarted. I then went to add the integration and it shows as a custom component now. But I get "Config flow could not be loaded: {"message":"Invalid handler specified"}" when I click it to install it and add my IP. I am guessing it's a collision with the fact that there is official integration with the same name... |
|
I had the same idea, and with the same error message result,

Try using this repository in HACS: https://github.com/natekspencer/hacs-balboa I released a beta version today with the latest I've been using |
|
I added the repository to HACs. And it installed correctly. And I now have 12 entities associated with the device. Works great for me. Thanks for taking the time!!! You didn't have too. And you probably helped 3 or 4 people, if it works for them too. |
|
Worked well for me! Thanks!

@natekspencer I spoke a little too soon. I have two issues...
Climate error Log entry: Unable to prepare setup for platform balboa.climate: Platform not found (cannot import name 'UnitOfTemperature' from 'homeassistant.const' (/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/const.py)). |

If you can enable debug logs for pybalboa, then I might be able to see what it is doing. Please post this issue in https://github.com/natekspencer/hacs-balboa/issues now, however, as we are no longer talking about the official integration. |
|
Will do. It will be in an hour or so. I have a call I need to be on. Thanks again. |
|
@natekspencer So happy I found this! It works phenomenal. I do have 1 question tho, how do you modify the pump settings? I have 1 pump 2 speeds. (3 settings total: off, circulate, jets full power) the toggle button has a little glitch when the pump is off I toggle the pump switch and it activates circulation mode. When I toggle the pump switch from on to off it goes to "jets full power" for 1 second and then toggles back automatically to circulation mode. I let it circulate for a while and then the the pump shut off. |
|
Please enable debug logging for this integration and post the logs as well as your spa/pump information |

I did replace the heater with a Balboa BP7 with TP500 Bundle and I kept the Pump the same. the pump is a century 3.0 |

|
One thing maybe to clarify here is the way the pumps work in the balboa app (which this attempts to reproduce). The pumps "toggle" to each subsequent setting, so if a pump has 2 settings (off/on) it will go |
|
@natekspencer I just ran a little test and currently the spa is not in any filter mode so the pump is off. I had the Balboa app opened on my phone, I toggled the pump1 switch in home assistant (off->on) and watched the Balboa app pump change from off --> low. I toggled pump1 in home assistant again (on->off) and the pump in the Balboa app looked like it went to high for a fraction of a millisecond before landing in the off state. Hard to say without knowing forsure if it actually did go to high or if the image just changed so fast I couldn't make it out. So now that the pump is in the off state I decided to try from the Balboa app and watch the HA Integration. While the pump is off I toggled the pump (off->low), and in Home assistant pump 1 went from off to on. I toggled the Balboa app pump 1 more time (low->high) and the home assistant pump1 remained unchanged and stayed on.

|
@Manbearpig92 it seems to be working as intended then. If you open up the pump entity in HA, you should also have a speed setting slider below it that allows you to adjust it there. |
|
Ah okay my greatest apologies I didn't realize there was a slider. Yes it does work quite well. Thanks so much for your help |
|
I am having the same problem as described in this issue. I have just installed the BWA interface to my spa, I have connected it and can control it via my mobile phone.
|
|
@tonyfitzs this is waiting on a PR before pumps are available in the core integration |
|
Is there a way to prevent the Integration from going unavailable? I was reading it's an issue with the module itself. Is there a better fix or do I just have to keep reconfiguring it everytime she goes down? |
|
You shouldn't need to reconfigure. Once the module is communicating again, it should come back online automatically. |
|
it was unavailable for 2 days and I just deleted it and added it again but that's good to know that there is a solution |
|
There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates. |
