Hello,
I have a **Bestway Lay-Z-Spa Milan 6-person** model. The installation through the **iOS app** went smoothly.
I installed the **Homey Pro** app, and Iâm able to **turn the spa on and off** via Homey, as well as **enable and disable the bubble massage**.
The **temperature reading is displayed** , although sometimes it takes a while to update.
However, I am **unable to turn on the heater** or **activate the filtration** (which turns on together with the heater). When I tap those controls, **nothing happens** , even though everything works perfectly in the official iOS app.
Is it **normal** that these features donât work yet with Homey?
I mainly installed Homey to **create scheduled automations** for heating and filtration, so this is currently a major limitation.
Iâve already tried **removing and reinstalling the Wi-Fi module** on the spa, but it didnât help.
Do you have a solution for this, or is this functionality **still under development**?

I managed to turn the filtration on and off by bypassing the app, because I believe something is missing in its current functionality. The options in the app that are supposed to activate heating mode or turn off heating mode simply donât work.
So I created two scripts: one to turn the filtration on, and one to turn it off. Then I added a virtual ON/OFF button. Now Iâm able to build my automation scenarios as planned.
Iâm not sure who maintains the app, but this part definitely needs to be reviewed.
I noticed the issue while using the Developer Tools console, where the `pump_onoff` command works perfectly when setting the value to `true` or `false`.
ON
```auto
const spaDeviceId = '60xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
const device = await Homey.devices.getDevice({ id: spaDeviceId });
await device.setCapabilityValue('pump_onoff', true);
return 'â
Filtration activée.';
```
OFF
```auto
const spaDeviceId = '60xxxxxxxxxxxxx;
const device = await Homey.devices.getDevice({ id: spaDeviceId });
await device.setCapabilityValue('pump_onoff', false);
return 'â Filtration dĂ©sactivĂ©e.';
```

for Home assistant there is a script now to control the new Bestway spa: [GitHub - M1R4G376/New\_bestway\_spa: this librairy working can communicate with the latest Bestway app version smartspa](https://github.com/M1R4G376/New_bestway_spa)
I hope this gets integrated in the Homey app too ( or a new homey app for it)

Thx telenut.
Took some time to figure out how to get it connected to the pool.
Tip: open a âQR code translationâ homepage ([https://qrcoderaptor.com/](https://qrcoderaptor.com/) maybe) take a photo and copy the âQR code resultâ to the Homey app.
Hoping for more stuff to the app.
