Redsea ReefBeat and HomeAssistant

[hazylogic]

Just curious if anyone has gotten the ReefBeat interface working with Home Assistant? There’s an integration (maybe through HACS, do t remember) for Neptune. Would love to pull in the Redsea stuff as well. Wanted to see if there’s anything out there I’m missing before spending too much time hacking and reverse engineering how to get and control status outside the app.

Nothing I know of yet, as RedSea hasn't published anything resembling an API and no one has had the time to take apart the firmware or intercept the MQTT broker:

The dosers all appear to use an ESP8266/32. I suspect, after some reverse engineering the pinout, you could replace the firmware with ESPhome but that's a big lift.

Edit: reading the thread, there is at least status information on /dashboard when hitting the local HTTP server:

http://[ip]/dashboard

For me, this gives this (on a 2 head doser with one thing configured):

{"restore_settings":true,"is_active":false,"battery_level":"high","time_error":false,"bundled_heads":false,"heads":{"1":{"supplement":"KoralAmino","state":"on","auto_dosed_today":1.1,"manual_dosed_today":0,"doses_today":1,"daily_dose":9,"remaining_days":21,"stock_level":"high","recalibration_required":false,"missed_dose":{"missed_volume":0,"total_volume":0},"daily_doses":8},"2":{"supplement":"Setup head 2","state":"not-setup","auto_dosed_today":0,"manual_dosed_today":0,"doses_today":0,"daily_dose":0,"remaining_days":0,"stock_level":"off","recalibration_required":false,"missed_dose":{"missed_volume":0,"total_volume":0},"daily_doses":0}}}

Hi, there is a working hacs for few days.
https://github.com/Elwinmage/ha-reefbeat-component
I regulary add new support and features.

 

[Elwinmage]

The version 1.0.0 has been published. It supports all ReefBeat devices (ReefATO+,ReefDose, ReefLED,ReefMat, ReefRun and ReefWave).

https://github.com/Elwinmage/ha-reefbeat-component

Now it's time to work on a specific map for reef aquarium management (Reefbeat devices will be managed automatically as well as other connected devices on demand).

Enjoy!

Hello. Looks like there has been active discussion and production on hobbyist development of to monitor and control of the new Rea Sea controller and devices. I use a HACSs home assistant integration to monitor APEX sensors and control switches. Does the recent similar integration do the same for Red Sea controller!

Also, is it true it relies solely on WiFi and no network port. That is worrisome
