Intex Pool — Home Assistant integration

Monitor an Intex Water Analyzer (WA510 / #28607) in Home Assistant: pH, ORP, free chlorine, water temperature and battery — pulled from the Intex Link (Tuya) cloud. Includes a custom Lovelace card.

The Intex Link app is a Tuya ("ThingClips") OEM app. This integration talks to the same cloud API the app uses. It embeds the app's published client constants so it works with just your account login. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Intex or Tuya. Use at your own risk.

Features

• 5 sensors (pH, ORP mV, free chlorine ppm, temperature, battery %) under one device, with automatic History + long-term Statistics graphs.
• UI config flow (email / password / country) — no YAML.
• Configurable poll interval (the analyzer samples roughly hourly).
• A bundled Intex Pool Card (gauges + safe-range colouring + water verdict), auto-registered.
• Pure-Python, async, no extra Python dependencies (uses HA's bundled aiohttp + cryptography).

Install (HACS)

1. HACS → ⋮ → Custom repositories → add https://github.com/bpietroiu/homeassistant-intex-pool, category Integration.
2. Install "Intex Pool", then restart Home Assistant.
3. Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration → Intex Pool.
4. Enter your Intex Link email, password, and country code (see below).

(Manual install: copy custom_components/intex_pool into your HA config/custom_components/.)

Password (plaintext or MD5)

The password field accepts either your normal password or the lowercase MD5 hash of it, if you'd rather not store the plaintext in Home Assistant. The integration only ever sends MD5(password) to the cloud, so the hash is equivalent for login. To compute it:

python -c "import hashlib,getpass;print(hashlib.md5(getpass.getpass('password: ').encode()).hexdigest())"

Paste the resulting 32-character value into the password field. (Detection is automatic: any 32-char lowercase-hex value is treated as an MD5; anything else is hashed for you. The only edge case is a real password that happens to be exactly 32 hex characters.)

Country code

The country code is the international phone dialing code of the country your Intex Link account uses (the same value Tuya/Smart Life uses) — it must match your account's region.

Code	Country		Code	Country
1	US / Canada		39	Italy
44	United Kingdom		34	Spain
49	Germany		31	Netherlands
33	France		40	Romania
351	Portugal		61	Australia

For anything not listed, use your country's entry from any "country calling codes" (E.164) table.

The card

After install, add a card → Intex Pool Card (or via YAML):

type: custom:intex-pool-card
title: Pool
entities:
  - sensor.<device>_ph
  - sensor.<device>_orp
  - sensor.<device>_free_chlorine
  - sensor.<device>_temperature
  - sensor.<device>_battery

Entities

Entity	Unit
pH	pH
ORP	mV
Free chlorine	ppm
Temperature	°C
Battery	%

Notes

• Cloud-polled (the WA510 is battery-powered and has no local API).
• The integration icon in the Settings UI requires a one-time PR to home-assistant/brands — see brands/README.md. Until then, the custom card still shows the icon.
