Aquarium State Display / Hydros Web API

[Gunnar Helliesen]

Fire 10 tablet and run the app

I’d love to do the same, but have you found a way to make the app or web page update continuously? If it’s only going to update for a minute or two I feel there’s no point.

@Carlos can we have an app preference (per device/session) to make the app/page update less frequently (maybe once every minute?), but continue updating indefinitely?

It's been awhile.....still on the roadmap for API?

So this popped up on my Facebook feed - ReefCtrl - ReefCtrl — Smart Reef Tank Assistant | AI-Powered Reef Insights with Hydros Controller support. Ok, how can we tap into this with Home Assistant? I have no interest in paying $5/month for ReefCtrl. Thoughts @Carlos

I just found this - GitHub - Bitf1ip/ha-hydros: Home assistant custom integration for Coralvue Hydros Aquarium controllers. - gonna give it a shot.

Some quick testing with the integration. Not too bad and has quick response.

This is great! I downloaded the ReefCtrl to play with it, not sure which Home Assistant you are using, I am Mac based.... I see The Reefmat is included as well which is awesome getting the Redsea equipment added as well. Still looking for a way to display readings every min on an iPad or display to add to the aquarium aesthetics.

Not sure what you mean by which Home Assistant. You mean HAOS or Docker or? I have Home Assistant on a VM on my Proxmox server. I can access it via Home Assistant app on an iPad. The cool thing of HA is you can combine everything into your own dashboard. What I did in the message 26 was a quick sample. I did do a dashboard in this thread - [Beta] Hydros for Home Assistant :).

I also use a Mac and access Home Assistant via browser and Hydros / Red Sea via app.
