Arlec PB89HA Power Board

Arlec PB89HA Power Board

The Arlec PB89HA power board is part of the Grid Connect ecosystem and is sold at Bunnings in Australia and New Zealand.

It has five sockets: four individually controllable, plus one which is permanently powered (marked "ALWAYS ON").

Getting it up and running

Tuya Convert

This power strip is a Tuya device, so if you don't want to open it up and flash it directly, you can use tuya-convert to initially get ESPHome onto it. After that, you can use ESPHome's OTA functionality to make any further changes.

  • Put the power strip into "smartconfig" / "autoconfig" / pairing mode by holding the button for about 5 seconds.
  • The status LED (in the button) blinks rapidly to confirm that it has entered pairing mode.

Basic Configuration

logger:
  # Important! The status LED and button are on the Pins used by UART0,
  # so if you want to use the serial port, you can set it to UART1.

Advanced config: on-device button automations

To use one of these sample on-device automations, replace the whole binary_sensor: section from the basic configuration (above) with one from below. Note that if you want to also expose the button to Home Assistant, you can remove the internal: True line.

Toggle all sockets

If any socket is turned on, pressing the button will turn all sockets off. Otherwise, pressing the button will turn all sockets on.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin:
      number: GPIO3
      inverted: True
    name: ${name} button
    internal: True
    on_press:
      then:
        if:
          condition:
            lambda: return id(relay_a).state || id(relay_b).state || id(relay_c).state || id(relay_d).state;
          then:
            # At least one socket is on.  Turn off all sockets.
            - switch.turn_off: relay_a
            - switch.turn_off: relay_b
            - switch.turn_off: relay_c
            - switch.turn_off: relay_d
          else:
            # No sockets are on.  Turn on all sockets.
            - switch.turn_on: relay_a
            - switch.turn_on: relay_b
            - switch.turn_on: relay_c
            - switch.turn_on: relay_d

Toggle sockets with single or double click

A single click toggles the first socket; a double-click toggles the second socket.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin:
      number: GPIO3
      inverted: True
    name: ${name} button
    internal: True
    on_multi_click:
      # Support a single or double click to switch on each relay
      - timing:
          # Single click toggles the first relay
          - ON for at most 1s
          - OFF for at least 0.5s
        then:
          - switch.toggle: relay_a


      - timing:
          # Double click toggles the second relay
          - ON for at most 1s
          - OFF for at most 1s
          - ON for at most 1s
          - OFF for at least 0.2s
        then:
          - switch.toggle: relay_b

Advanced (cycle + toggle all)

An alternate switching behavour, where:

  • A short press turns on the next socket that is off (from 1 to 4)
  • Once all are on, a short press will turn all sockets off
  • A double press will turn the next socket off (from 1 to 4)
  • Once all are off, a double press will turn all on
  • A long press with turn all off if any are on, or will turn all on
