Hi to all,  
I am a Homey user since a few weeks. 95% of all systems I use could be integrated (KNX, Loxone, Hue, Aqara, …) So there are more than 180 devices in Homey so far.  
Sadly my Swim Spa could not be integrated. I found out that there is an integration/App for Balboa but not for the second common used system from Gecko. I was realy sure to checked this befor buying Homey but mixed it up with home assistant where an integration is possible.

Also I saw that there was a request from [Panser](https://community.homey.app/u/Panser) in 2022 and a question a few weeks ago from [Jan\_Thomas\_Haugan](https://community.homey.app/u/Jan_Thomas_Haugan)

My question: I could not support with coding, but I could help with testing under real conditions and or donation…In the request Thread there is no feedback. How can I know if somebody is working on it?

Greetings  
Henne

You don’t. You can perform a forum search on the word gecko f.i., every now and then.  
Or create an alert on ‘gecko’, but idk how 😊

Hello Henne

Did you find a solution ? I am planning to buy a GECKO module for my spa, but I really would like to have it connected to HOMEY.

Alternatively, since I did not buy the GECKO module supported for my spa, yet, I could buy a BALBOA if it supports my spa. Any hint on how to ckeck that ?

Regards

Ronan

Hi Paul,  
no I did Not find a solution. I use the Gecko App to control the Basic things. But normally it is not needed often. Except checking the temperature.

For heating I use a heat pump controlled with a matter outdoor plug. This plug is connected in Homey and switches on the power when my solar energy is high enough or the hourly costs per kW is low. With this connection I was able to have costs of around 0,18 EUR/kWh. Normal is 0,30 EUR/kWh in my region. My pool has 29 degrees Celsius 12000 l and uses at around 5 degrees outdoor temp (region medium from Nov-Apr) 40 kWh per day.

Currently I try to find a kind of intelligent measure instrument for homey to measure temperature, chlorine eg in the pool. Then everything I need is available.

OK, so basically you turn the spa On and OFF at certain times or energy condition just not to allow it to use too much energy. That’s a good start. What are the savings with this method ?

How low in temperature do you let it go ? How long does it take to heat it up ?

I would fear that turning it on and off at any moment, even in the middle of pump or heater operation could harm it. I guess that did not happen ?

Thank you for sharing

Ronan

Hi, I’m a client developer currently exploring Gecko In.Touch2 to assess what kind of support could be implemented in a Homey app.

I would like to have

temperature adjustment

the current temperature including past temperatures (day, week, month, year)

Alerts

switch of modus (energy, saving vacation and so on)

Starting of different pumps or different speed is optional. I think it is not needed because when you use your whirlpool or swim spa, you should do this by the machine

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share that I’m almost done developing a new Homey app for **Gecko InTouch2** spa controller. After extensive work on the protocol implementation and testing, the app is now feature-complete and working reliably.

### What does it do?

The app gives you remote control of your Gecko-enabled spa or hot tub directly from Homey via InTouch2:

**Core Features:**

- 🌡 **Real-time temperature monitoring** - See your spa’s current water temperature with 0.5°C precision

- 🎯 **Remote temperature control** - Adjust target temperature (0-40°C) from anywhere

- ⚡ **Five energy modes** - Optimize energy consumption based on your usage:

The next step for me is to go through the publishing process, to get it out at Homey App Store.

Hi, sounds good. I really want to test it, but I could not find it in the Homey App Store. How can I install it?

Hi, I want to make you aware that there is now an opportunity to test my Homey app for Gecko InTouch2. Currently, it only supports managing the temperature and the water care modes.

This app was good news!

Installed and paired. Can read & set temp 👍 .

Can also change energy mode from “menu” 👍

From “Advanced Flow” I get error when trying to change Energy Mode. Same for all Energy Mode.

Any thoughts?

Hi Henrik,  
Glad that you’re trying my app, and thank you for your bug report.  
I’ll look into what might be causing this and get back to you.
