Component developped by using the amazing development template blueprint.

This custom component for Home Assistant can be used to automatically control a pool pump that is turned on/off by a switch that Home Assistant can control.

This component is based on the work of @exxamalte.

On top of the orignal version by @exxamalte, this version can be installed by HACS and you can use the blueprint feature to quickly fork this repo and have a working development environment in a container.

I will adapt it to my needs. At completion this plugin will compute the filtering schedule taking into account the pool water temperature.

Minimum requirements

  • A switch supported in Home Assistant that can turn on/off power to your pool pump.

Features

  • Compute the totatl duration according to the pool water tempearture.
  • Can control any switch (or other entity) that supports being turned on/off.
  • Support for distinguishing three different switch modes:
    • Auto: Turn switch on/off automatically based on rules and configuration.
    • On: Turn switch on.
    • Off: Turn switch off.
  • Splits the total target duration into two runs arround the solar noon. 1/3 before ans 2/3 after to allow filtering during the hottest part of the day.
  • You can add a customisable break between the two runs.
  • Initialises an entity (pool_pump.schedule) that shows the current or next run of the pool pump.
  • Optional: Support for a water level sensor to specify an entity that indicates if the pool has reached a critical water level in which case the pool pump should not run at all.

Installation

  1. Click install.
  2. Modify your configuration.yaml as explain below.
  3. Restart Home Assistant.

Configuration is done in in configuration.yaml file

Minimal content in your configuration.yaml file is:

pool_pump:
  switch_entity_id: switch.pool_pump_switch
  pool_pump_mode_entity_id: input_select.pool_pump_mode
  pool_temperature_entity_id: sensor.pool_water_temperature
  # optional:
  water_level_critical_entity_id: binary_sensor.pool_water_level_critical
  schedule_break_in_hours: 1.0

All parameters are required except the two after # optional comment.

You will need to set some automations and inputs (input_boolean, input_select and input_numbers) to use it. Please read README.md for additional documentation.
