It has 117 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated August 19, 2026. Juwel HeliaLux is a custom integration that controls and monitors a Juwel HeliaLux aquarium light controller. It communicates with the controller locally and is set up in the UI, where the host address, tank name and update interval are entered. It adds a light for the tank, plus sensors for red, green, blue and white intensity, the current profile, the available profiles and the controller's clock. A select lets the controller switch between profiles, and switches with matching numbers control manual colour and daytime simulation and how long each lasts. The controller needs a specific recent Juwel firmware version, and opening the controller's own website cancels changes made from Home Assistant.
