Home Automation

The eSpa firmware exposes a MQTT interface to allow for easy integration with home automation systems. This allows you to control your spa from your home automation system, and also receive notifications when the spa is in use or when the temperature changes. Because of this support, home automation systems like Home Assistant and OpenHab can easily integrate with the eSpa firmware.

The eSpa firmware will publish messages to the MQTT broker when the spa is in use. To configure eSpa to communicate with MQTT, you simply specify the MQTT broker details as part of the initial WiFi configuration. You can follow the getting started guide to understand how to configure these settings.
