This custom integration provides a way to monitor sensors data and control equipment connected to Reef-Pi (An open source reef tank controller based on Raspberry Pi) (GIT repository).
Using HACS (recommended)
This integration can be installed using HACS.
To do it add custom integration repository using url: https://github.com/tdragon/reef-pi-hass-custom/.
Then search for Reef Pi in in the Integrations section.
To install this integration manually you have to download the content of this repository to config/custom_components/reef-pi-hass-custom directory:
mkdir -p custom_components/reef_pi
cd custom_components/reef_pi
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/tdragon/reef-pi-hass-custom/releases/latest | grep "/reef_pi.zip"|cut -d : -f 2,3|tr -d \"| wget -i -
unzip reef_pi.zip
rm reef_pi.zipAfter that restart Home Assistant.
Install integration from UI (Configuration --> Integrations --> + --> Search for reef pi)
Configuration options:
- Host (http://ip.address or https://ip.address)
- user name
- password
Integration creates temperature sensor for each sensor connected to Reef PI: sensor.{reef-pi name}_{temperature_sensor_name}
Additionally, it creates one sensor for CPU temperature: sensor.{reef_pi_name}
For each equipment configured in Reef Pi an outlet entity is created: switch.{reef_pi name}_{equipment_name}
On some installations of this addon, it can cause Reef Pi to intermittently drop the reading from both the Reef Pi graph/database and in Home Assistant.
To fix this, in Home Assistant go to Settings > Integrations > Reef-Pi integration and under "Integration entries" click on "Configure" and select "Disable pH sensir" and click on "Submit" and then click on the 3 vertical dots and select "Reload"
To bring in pH sensor readings into Home Assistant you will need to enable the MQTT functionality from within the Reef Pi systems interface.
