[Beta] Hydros for Home Assistant :)

[Bitf1ip]

Hello,

I had an opportunity to work on an Home assistant integration for Hydros.
It should be considered Beta and I was only able to test it with the devices I own (X4, MINOW, XP8, water level sensor, rope leak sensor, flow sensor).
I will improve it as time allow, there is a button to capture a sample configuration and data, please anonymize and/or select subset prior to sharing this data.

You can help me test it by installing it as such: HACS > 3 dots at the top > Custom repositories:
Repository: GitHub - Bitf1ip/ha-hydros: DIY Home assistant custom integration for Hydros Aquarium controllers
Type: Integration
In the next windows select a specific release 0.1.1

Please read the readme / use a your own risks / this is a DIY effort, I am not affiliated and this is not supported by Coralvue in anyway.

Cheers

Manually selecting the release is no longer needed, you can just leave it to the latest.

Holy crap! Well done sir! I gave up on anything like this ever happening (and went down a different rabbit hole of spying on the can bus years ago).

Awesome, THANKS!! I just found it today and was discussing at this thread - Aquarium State Display / Hydros Web API.

Well, I took the integration and built a dashboard that combines Hydros, Red Sea, and Input from HA. I use Conditionals to show certain items like when my Salt Mix sensor is low and time to make salt. I also use a Simple Swipe Card and placed Expander cards within that. Screenshots attached. The integration is very nice. A lot of us have been waiting for something like this.

Every now and then I have to Reload the integration to reconnect.

This is great i just set it up today, thank you!!

Update! I use Hydros for AWC / ATO. Using what @Bitf1ip built, I put together a better visual to track my reservoirs for my RODI and Salt mix. Using a series of Home Assistant Automations and Helpers, I have this:

I use 400ml/minute dosing pumps to perform AWC and ATO. I have sensors on the RODI container for Low and High. When the low optical sensor is dry, it will make RODI water to fill it to the High sensor. When the High sensor hits Wet, it will reset the Helper input number to 111700ml, which is roughly 29.5 gallons.

Happy to share. I may put on my GitHub site once I have things cleaned up.

FYI, GitHub repo created. My first real one. GitHub - BR260354/home-assistant-aquarium-dashboard
Hope you find useful. This was a DYI effort with the help of Codex (pretty cool actually).

I'm retired, have to entertain myself somehow!
