  • Chlorine: the chlorine level
  • pH: the pH level of the water
  • Water temperature: the temperature of the water
  • Red OX: the redox level of the water in mV
  • Last measure date: the date of the last measure taken by the flipr
  • Battery level: the battery level of the flipr in percentage

Binary sensors

  • pH Status: an indicator if the pH level is normal, too low, or too high
  • Chlorine status: an indicator if the chlorine level is normal, too low, or too high

  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_chlorine
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_ph
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_red_ox
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_water_temp
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_last_measured
  • sensor.flipr_[fliprid]_battery_level
