ESPHome Pool Control Box

thingiverse

This is a custom enclosure for an ESP32 / ESPHome based pool pump controller. Last year, I purchased an old ranch house that had a vacant pool without any supporting equipment. I restored the pool and installed new equipment. Now, I'm diving into home automation with ESPHome and Home-Assistant. As I think about projects, I remembered that my pool pump has an input connector for remote control via their expensive control solution. A quick Google search of the pump manual resulted in the pinout of the connector that takes 5-volt signal level inputs to command the pump. This is the result. The ESP32 is connected to a relay board that controls the pump. I also added a current transformer (CT) to monitor the power usage of the pump. I have solar panels installed that report to Home-Assistant, so I will create logic to slow the pump when the panels are not keeping up with the house's energy needs.
