Juwel HeliaLux Smart Controller

This is a custom component for Home Assistant that creates sensors to show details about your Juwel HeliaLux Smart Controller. It is (heavily) based on pyHelialux by moretea.

Available sensors

• tankname_blue
• tankname_green
• tankname_red
• tankname_white
• tankname_current_profile

How to install

Download this repo and copy it to your config/custom_components folder on your Home Assistant install.

Add the following to your Home Assistant config file.

sensor:
    - platform: juwel_helialux
      host: 1.2.3.4
      name: "Your Tank Name"

Change host to the ip address of your Juwel HeliaLux Smart Controller and change name to the name of your tank (Dave?).

Restart Home Assistant and your sensors should appear.

Check your firmware version!

jakerol pointed out that v1 firmware don't appear to work with this custom component, please make sure your HeliaLux firmware is at least v2.1 (why wouldn't you be on v2.. v1 was ugly). You can update by heading over to your Juwel HeliaLux controller webpage, click on the settings click and click the info link at the bottom of the page (in the middle, possible an "i" icon) and then click firmware.
