Are there more people who don’t have energy reading? When I’m heating, the ‘power function’ mode does not work. I’m using the ‘share code’ type. ---

I’m not able to add my spa in Homey since they only present a QR-code, I can’t find the RW\_Share code anywhere. Must have been an update or something? I didn’t create an account (I tried, but wasn’t successful, got hit with an unknown error from the bestway app) 🙃 Or am I doing something wrong? 🙂 ---

Which App are you using? **V1 models: must be configured using the Bestway Smart Hub app (Android/iOS).** or **V2 models: must be configured using the Bestway Connect app (Android/iOS).** ---

My spa is Ultrafit Airjet V02 (model S400201) and I have used Bestway Connect app (v. 1.3.16) on my iPhone ios 26.5.2. I tried the Bestway smart hub app, but was unsuccessful connecting it. Went back to connect app, but still only get the QR sharing option. I saw that the app was updated 5 days ago, could that be it? ---

If you scan the QR code with a separate device and a standard QR scanner, does the extracted text begin with **RW\_Share\_**? ---

**Fix for the “only QR code, no RW\_Share\_ text” pairing issue — available now on GitHub, not yet on the Store** Hi all, Thanks for reporting this — I tracked down the root cause: Bestway rolled out a new backend (“Smart Home” / Gizwits AEP gateway) for 2025+ UltraFit devices via the Bestway Connect app. Since around July 2026, that app’s “Share Device” QR code no longer produces the old `RW_Share_` text code — it now encodes a share **link** instead (something like `smart-spa-eu-app.bestwaycorp.com/...?shareId=...`), which the app previously rejected outright during pairing. I’ve implemented support for this new backend. Pairing now automatically detects which format you’ve pasted — a legacy `RW_Share_` code or a new share link/id — and routes to the correct backend behind the scenes. If you only ever see a QR code in the Bestway Connect app, just scan it with any QR scanner app (your phone’s camera works) and paste whatever text comes out; the app will figure out the rest. **This isn’t published to the Homey App Store yet** — I’d like a few of you to test it first, since I don’t own an UltraFit device myself and built this against a verified open-source reference implementation rather than real hardware. If you’re affected and willing to try it: 1. Install the [Homey CLI](https://www.npmjs.com/package/homey): `npm install -g homey` 2. Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/andiwirz/homey-layz.git && cd homey-layz` 3. `npm install` 4. `homey login` 5. `homey app install` (this installs straight onto your Homey Pro — no need to remove the Store version first, it just overwrites it in place; your existing devices/flows are kept) Full step-by-step instructions are in the [README](https://github.com/andiwirz/homey-layz#manual-installation-without-the-homey-app-store). If you can pair your spa this way, I’d really appreciate feedback on: - Whether pairing itself succeeds - Whether status (temperature, heater, filter) reads correctly - Whether the bubble/AirJet button actually toggles bubbles on your unit (this is the part I’m least sure about without hardware to test) Once a couple of people confirm it works, @rtorkelsen needs to push it to the Store’s TEST channel. Thanks for your patience! ---
