ESPHome Pool Control Box

thingiverse

This is a box for an ESP32 / ESPHome based pool pump controller. Last year I bought a old ranch house that had an empty pool that was missing all of it's supporting equipment. I resurrected the pool and installed new equipment. Now I'm going down the deep end of home automation with ESPHome and Home-Assistant. As I'm thinking of projects, I remembered that my pool pump has an input connector for remote control via their super expensive control solution. A quick google of the pump manual resulted in the pinout of the connector that just takes 5v signal level inputs to command the pump. This is the result The esp32 is connected to a relay board that then commands the pump. I also added a CT to monitor the power useage of the pump. I have solar panels installed that also report to Home-Assistant, so I will do some logic to slow the pump when the panels are not keeping up with the house.
