# Balboa Spa Client

> Balboa Spa Client is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 552 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Balboa Spa Client is a built-in integration that controls Balboa spa Wi-Fi modules locally. It adds climate, fan, light, select, switch, time, event and binary sensor entities for the spa. Examples include a circulation pump sensor, two filter cycle sensors, a fault event, a light, a temperature range selector and a switch that enables the second filter cycle. An option keeps the spa clock synchronized with Home Assistant. Home Assistant can discover the device on the network, and setup is done in the UI with the hostname or IP address of the Wi-Fi device.
