Features

Everything your pool enclosure needs

Developed by POPP owners — for real-world everyday requirements.

BLE bridge to Wi-Fi

The ESP32 connects to your POPP control unit via Bluetooth Low Energy and makes it reachable over your home network — without any cable modifications.

Modern web interface

Responsive dashboard in 4 themes (Dark, White, Bordeaux, Petrol). Trilingual (DE/EN/CZ). Runs on phone, tablet and desktop — without any app store.

MQTT & REST API

Complete MQTT topics and HTTP REST API. Directly integrable into ioBroker, Home Assistant, Node-RED or any custom system.

Live sensor data

Temperature under the enclosure, battery level %, battery voltage V, odometer and position — updated live every 10 seconds via BLE NOTIFY.

Autopoll & idle disconnect

BLE disconnects automatically when idle and reconnects only for data acquisition. Ideal for solar / battery operation — saves power, delivers MQTT on time.

OTA updates & security

Update firmware and web interface through the browser. HTTP Basic Auth for protected access. Dual partition — no risk of bricking.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will the controller work with my POPP enclosure?
The POPP-POOL Controller is developed and tested for motorized POPP enclosures with BLE control unit (e.g. Prestige P8). It communicates directly with the original POPP control unit via Bluetooth Low Energy.
Do I need programming skills?
No. In the complete set, the ESP32 is already flashed and ready to use. You only need to set up Wi-Fi and pair the POPP address once — everything is done through the web interface, with no terminal and no code.
Will my original POPP app still work afterwards?
Yes, fully. The controller runs in parallel and accesses the POPP control unit just like the original app. You can use both at the same time.
Which smart home systems are supported?
Via MQTT, all common systems are supported: ioBroker, Home Assistant, Node-RED, OpenHAB, FHEM and any system with MQTT support. In addition, a full REST HTTP API is available for custom integrations.
Are there any ongoing costs or subscriptions?
No. One-time payment — no cloud, no subscription, no monthly fees. Firmware updates are included and can be installed anytime via OTA (Over-the-Air) directly in the browser.
How long does the setup take?
With the complete set, about 10–15 minutes: initial Wi-Fi setup via captive portal (2 min), POPP pairing via scan (3 min), optional MQTT setup (5–10 min). No programming or soldering required.
