For months I've been toiling, comparing, and waffling between hydros, apex, and building my own automation. I ran across this today: https://forum.coralvuehydros.com/threads/new-api-is-almost-here.3126/ (also https://www.coralvuehydros.com/api/)!
I just wanted to tip my hat for opening the ecosystem. If this is the direction y'all are going, then it'll be what tips the scale for me! Please, please, please allow personal users to have API access and the ability to integrate DIY components. Build out the API and make the system as open as possible! People don't want closed ecosystems in 2026 :) I bet a lot of homebrew products will eventually become mainstream products that y'all can then charge API access to. Provide the platform and developers will build!
