Home Assistant custom component for retrieving sensor information from DAB Pumps devices. This component uses webservices to connect to the DAB Pumps DConnect website and automatically determines which installations and devices are available there.
The custom component was tested with a ESybox 1.5kw combined with a DConnect Box 2. It has also been reported to function correctly for ESybox Mini and ESybox Diver.
This device depends on the backend servers for the DAB Pumps DAB Live app and DConnect app to retrieve the device information from.
For ESybox Mini3 pumps:
These are supported on the DAB Live app with a free DAB Live account, or on the DConnect App with a paid account. Follow the steps under either DAB Live or DConnect.
For other pumps:
To see whether your pump device is supported via DConnect, browse to internetofpumps.com, select 'Professional Users' and scroll down to the operation diagram. Some pump devices will have integrated connectivity (Esybox MAX and Esybox Mini), others might require a DConnect Box/Box2 device (Esybox and Esybox Diver). A free trial period is available, after that there is a yearly subscription to DAB Pumps DConnect (US$ 20 in 2024). Follow the steps under DConnect.
If you have a pump that is supported for DAB Live then:
If you have a device that is supported for DConnect then:
The DAB Pumps DConnect website and app seem to have a problem with multiple logins from the same account. I.e. when already logged into the app or website, then a subsequent login via this integration may fail.
Therefore it is recommended to create a separate account within DAB Pumps DConnect that is specific for this HA integration.
This custom integration is avalable via HACS (Home Assistant Community Store).
Under the <config directory>/custom_components/
directory create a directory called dabpumps
.
Copying all files in /custom_components/dabpumps/
folder from this repo into the new <config directory>/custom_components/dabpumps/
directory you just created.
This is how your custom_components directory should look like:

To start the setup of this custom integration:
The following properties are required to connect to the DAB Live or DConnect service:
If your account is only assiciated with one DAB Pumps installation then this step is automatically skipped. Otherwise, select the DAB Pumps installation to use in Home Assistant. The other DAB Pumps installations can be added to the integration later on.
After succcessful setup, all devices from the DAB Pumps installation should show up in a list.
On the individual device pages, the hardware related device information is displayed, together with sensors typically grouped into main entity sensors, controls and diagnostics.
Any sensors that you do not need can be manually disabled using the HASS GUI.
Sensors are registered to each device as sensor.{device_name}_{sensor_name}
with an easy to read friendly name of sensor_name
.
Please set your logging for the this custom component to debug during initial setup phase. If everything works well, you are safe to remove the debug logging:
logger:
default: warn
