I recently integrated my Balboa GL 2000 hot tub controller with Home Assistant using an ESP32 setup, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! For those who haven’t tried this yet, it’s a fantastic way to bring your hot tub into the smart home ecosystem. The process involved connecting the ESP32 to the controller and setting up the necessary configurations in Home Assistant. It was a bit of a learning curve, but the GitHub repository provided by the community was incredibly helpful. I especially appreciate the ability to automate the hot tub based on electricity rates and weather conditions. It’s amazing how this integration has added convenience and efficiency to my daily routine. If you’re considering this setup, I highly recommend checking out the GitHub link provided in the original post for detailed instructions. The satisfaction of controlling my hot tub from my phone and scheduling it seamlessly within Home Assistant has been worth every bit of effort!
