Hydros + Home Assistant + Alexa

[johnacharles93]

Hydros for Home Assistant has moved to a new home and is packed with improvements!
https://github.com/johna-charles93/Hydros-Connect

What's New:
No-YAML Alexa Setup: Control your Hydros modes with voice, entirely through Home Assistant Settings. No scripts needed. "Alexa, feeding mode" - automatic return in 30 mins. Done.

Validate Setup Button: New health check button on your Hydros device. Hit it, get a report on what's working and what might need attention.

Restart-Safe Returns: Scheduled scene returns now survive Home Assistant restarts. No more lost automations after updates.

Moving to Hydros Connect:
The integration has moved to keep pace with CoralVue's official API launch. Migration is automatic through HACS. You don't have to do anything. If you need help, we've got docs: [HACS Migration Guide]

Official API Coming:
CoralVue just launched an official HYDROS API, and we're moving to support it. Here's what you need to know:

• More secure (per-device keys, not account passwords)
• More flexible (you control read/write permissions)
• Better rate limits (official support)
• Better support (official SLAs + developer forum)

No action needed yet. You can keep using account credentials for now. We'll have a smooth, phased migration when the time comes.

Full Details:

• Setup & Alexa docs: [README]
• API migration plan: [Roadmap]
• Questions? [GitHub Issues]

Happy automating!

Thank you! If you have any suggestions or feedback please share!

It's going to be a while before I will set it up but will keep you posted. I also shared this thread with a number of R2R friends who have Hydros setups.

Awesome! Thank you! Once I receive API keys from Hydros I’ll be making some changes.

All of which are well documented in my repo.
