Korex AX-WF306N Smart Kettle Integration Success Story

1

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my success story with integrating the Korex AX-WF306N smart kettle using LocalTuya. After some research and experimentation, I managed to get it fully functional with my Home Assistant setup, and it’s been a game-changer for my morning routine!

Integration Process

I started by adding the kettle through the LocalTuya GUI, which made the process much smoother than expected. I didn’t need to touch any YAML files, which was a huge relief for someone like me who’s still getting comfortable with Home Assistant’s configuration. Here’s a quick breakdown of what I set up:

  • Power Control: Turn the kettle on/off with a simple switch.
  • Temperature Monitoring: Real-time temperature updates so I know exactly when my water is ready.
  • Keep Warm Mode: Perfect for maintaining the perfect temperature for my tea or coffee.
  • Preset Boil Settings: I configured preset temperatures for different beverages, like 203°F for coffee and 158°F for chai.

Lovelace Dashboard Integration

To make everything easily accessible, I created a custom Lovelace card that combines all the kettle’s functions into one neat interface. Here’s what it includes:

  • A temperature display showing the current water temperature.
  • Quick-access buttons for my favorite beverages (coffee and chai).
  • Toggle switches for power and keep warm mode.

Scripts for Automation

I also set up some simple scripts to automate the process of making my favorite drinks. Here’s how it works:

  1. Press the “Make Coffee” or “Make Chai” button on my dashboard.
  2. The kettle turns on and sets the target temperature.
  3. Keep Warm mode activates to maintain the perfect temperature until I’m ready to pour.

If you’re considering integrating a Korex AX-WF306N or similar smart kettle, here are a few tips:
