Home assistant cheap pool sensor? - eviltoast

Hello!

I moving to a new home with a small pool and I was thinking of buying a pool sensor.

Right now I’m searching for something simple like temperature but would be nice to have ph and others.

I’d like it to be local, no cloud, and right now something cheap, I love DIY stuff.

So, any recommendations? Any experiences with these kind of sensors? My searches lead to pretty expensive stuff that can measure all the pool parameters and cloud based.

Thanks for reading!

    If your willing to home brew a solution, check out the esphome project. It’s very easy to implement and runs on very inexpensive esp32 boards.

    I’ve got something similar, but less ambitious running at my place (temp only). It’s been solid for about 6 months now.
