ESPHome — Maytronics Air Cover BLE: reconstructing pool-cover control
ESPHome — Maytronics Air Cover BLE recreates pool-cover control through a BLE GATT profile observed in the official Android app. Its ESPHome configuration sends open, close and stop payloads and reads position and motor-state notifications for Home Assistant.
