Connect the GDO blaQ to Home Assistant

The GDO blaQ works with Home Assistant 100% locally via ESPHome

The GDO blaQ is made with ESPHome firmware which integrates natively and locally with Home Assistant. 

  1. After connecting your GDO to WiFi, Home Assistant should discover it automatically.
  2. Open Home Assistant (mobile app or web interface) and look for New devices discovered in the Notifications pane. HA - Local Setup - Image 1
  3. The GDO blaQ uses the built-in ESPHome integration. If it's not automatically discovered, go to Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration > ESPHome to add it manually by IP address.
