  • Auto-Detection — Automatically identifies the connected JUDO device model
  • Full Sensor Support — Water hardness, salt supply, water volumes, operating hours, and more
  • Device Control — Start regeneration, toggle leak protection, set vacation mode, adjust settings
  • Configurable Polling — Choose your update interval: 30 s, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, or 10 min
  • Multi-Language — English and German translations included
  • Diagnostics — Built-in diagnostics support for troubleshooting

Installation

HACS (Recommended)

  1. Open HACS in your Home Assistant instance.
  2. Click the three dots in the top-right corner and select Custom repositories.
  3. Add https://github.com/itsh-neumeier/JUcontrol_local as an Integration.
  4. Search for JUcontrol local and click Download.
  5. Restart Home Assistant.

Manual Installation

  1. Download the latest release from GitHub Releases.
  2. Copy the custom_components/jucontrol_local folder to your Home Assistant config/custom_components/ directory.
  3. Restart Home Assistant.

Configuration

  1. Go to Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration.
  2. Search for JUcontrol local.
  3. Enter your device details:
Parameter Description Default
Host IP address of your JUDO device (required)
Username API username admin
Password API password Connectivity
Polling Interval How often to query the device 1 minute
  1. The integration will auto-detect your device model and create the appropriate entities.

Changing the Polling Interval

After setup, you can change the polling interval at any time:

  1. Go to Settings > Devices & Services.
  2. Find your JUDO device and click Configure.
  3. Select a new polling interval and save.

Network Requirements

  • The JUDO device must be on the same local network as your Home Assistant instance.
  • Communication uses HTTP (port 80) with Basic Authentication.
  • No internet connection is required — all communication is local.

Integration Branding (HA 2026.3+)

This integration now ships local branding assets in:

custom_components/jucontrol_local/brand/

Included files:

  • icon.png
  • icon@2x.png
  • logo.png
  • logo@2x.png

Home Assistant resolves integration images by domain (jucontrol_local) and loads these assets automatically. Per-device logos are not supported via device_info; visible images come from integration branding.

Quick check endpoints in your HA instance:

  • /api/brands/integration/jucontrol_local/icon.png
  • /api/brands/integration/jucontrol_local/logo.png

If a file is missing or the domain/path is wrong, Home Assistant returns a default placeholder image.


Blueprint: Salt Supply Reminder

The repository now includes a ready-to-use blueprint for the salt supply reminder:

blueprints/automation/itsh-neumeier/jucontrol_salt_supply_reminder.yaml

The blueprint sends an immediate alert when Salt range falls to or below Salt shortage warning and then repeats the reminder daily until the value recovers above the threshold again.

Blueprint inputs:

  • Salt range entity: the JUcontrol Salt range entity
  • Salt shortage warning entity: the entity that holds the warning threshold
  • Daily reminder time: time used for the recurring daily reminder
  • Notification title: title for the reminder
  • Notification intro text: free text shown before the automatically inserted day values
  • Reminder actions: optional custom actions such as notify.mobile_app_*

If no custom actions are configured, the blueprint creates a Home Assistant persistent_notification by default.

Import the blueprint in Home Assistant via Settings > Automations & Scenes > Blueprints > Import Blueprint and use the file from this repository. If you want to change the threshold directly in Home Assistant, use the Salt shortage warning (set) number entity.


Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
Cannot connect Verify the IP address is correct and the device is powered on. Ensure Home Assistant can reach the device (same VLAN/subnet).
Invalid authentication Check username and password. Default credentials are admin / Connectivity.
Unknown device The device type is not yet supported. Please open an issue on GitHub with your device model.
Entities not updating Check the polling interval in the integration options. Verify network connectivity to the device.
Entities show "unavailable" The device may be temporarily unreachable. Check your network and device status.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please:

  1. Fork the repository.
  2. Create a feature branch (git checkout -b feature/my-feature).
  3. Commit your changes following Conventional Commits.
  4. Push to your branch and open a Pull Request.

If you have a JUDO device model that is not yet supported, please open an issue with the device type code (readable via the integration's diagnostics).
