I recently posted an AppDaemon integration that makes it easy to integrate Pulse Hubs and their sensors into Home Assistant, without needing to manually configure YAML or look up sensor IDs.
The app automatically discovers all your Pulse Hubs and connected devices via the API, then registers proper sensor entities in Home Assistant based on their type. You can immediately start using them in dashboards, automations, and integrations like the generic hygrostat. It’s a lot more scalable and maintainable than hardcoding YAML entries.
It also keeps track of which sensors are connected to which hubs, which is especially helpful if you have a facility with multiple hubs and want your dashboards to reflect that structure.
All sensor data is published locally over MQTT. Each hub and device has its own state update topic, so other local devices can subscribe and react to live telemetry.
Pulse One and Pulse Pro devices should be supported as well, though I don’t currently own any to test with. If you do and you’re interested in trying this out, I’d be happy to collaborate to get full support working. If enough people are interested, I’ll also work on publishing it to HACS and finishing up the documentation.
The project is licensed under Apache 2.0, so you’re free to use, modify, or integrate it commercially. Pull requests are welcome, and I’m glad to help if you want to contribute.
This is my little test grow dashboard showing my Pulse Hub THV and VWC entities (and a couple other sensors from another vendor).
