# Gardena Bluetooth

> Gardena Bluetooth is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 543 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Gardena Bluetooth is a built-in integration that connects Gardena watering devices to Home Assistant over a local connection. Home Assistant finds the device on its own and offers to add it, and setup is done in the UI. It exposes valve control through a switch and a valve entity, plus selects for operation mode and watering. Number settings cover manual watering time, rain pause, seasonal adjustment, sensor threshold, distance and sector. Sensors report flow, battery level of a paired sensor, error details and the reason a watering started, while binary sensors show frost and the connection state of the valve and sensor. A factory reset button and an image of the active contour are also available.
