I have a X4, WE, XP8 - love the Hydros gear! Are there any plans to allow the Hydros to utilize the alk reading from the Dr. Bridge KH Guardian cloud portal? I currently use a BNC cable but it'd be great to free up the probe port on the X4 :)


Thanks!

It has been a busy few days for Hydros team with multiple shows and return travel today. I'm sure @Carlos will chime in soon when I gets time to catch up. But this shouldn't be terribly difficult if Dr. Bridge has a cloud API. Generally CoralVue will work with anybody who is willing to work with them. Best course of action may be submit a request to Dr. Brudge yourself as their user stating desire to integrate with Hydros. Enough people contact them they'll be willing to work.
 
The last time we reached out to KHG, they told us that they did not have a cloud server and the units did not have enough memory left to run a REST server. Has that changed recently? Do they have a cloud server and an app? Or do they still use the local web server?
 
We will reach out to KHG again and ask them, but ultimately, the end user's demand for integration will make KHG work on the API integration. So be sure to voice your request directly to KHG and gather troops if you know other fellow users who want and need the integration.
 
I emailed KHG and received the below links:

This is way over my head, does the above info help with anything?
 
That looks like something a user developed for their use and to share with the community. It does not look like it is something that KHG created. The problem with this is that if KHG changes its interface or where things are located, it will break the code. Since they did not develop the integration, they do not have to notify anybody of the changes they are making.

Ideally, we would want an API integration developed by KHG to ensure it works all the time correctly, even after firmware updates.

Based on the reply you received, they might not be ready to invest time and resources into the API integration.
