I built an unofficial Home Assistant custom integration for the CHASING Hydro4 pool robot (PoolMate / CHASING GO3 cloud account).
What it does
-
Vacuum entity: start / pause / stop / retrieve
-
Cleaning program, zone, pool shape, light strip, duration
-
Water temperature + task remaining sensors
-
Cloud Online diagnostic (uses REST presence so stale MQTT retained messages don’t fake “online”)
-
Auto session refresh when the phone app steals the login
Install (HACS)
-
HACS → Integrations → Custom repositories
-
Add:
https://github.com/seanmoro/ha-chasing-pool -
Install CHASING Pool Robot, restart HA, then add the integration and sign in with your CHASING account

Caveats
-
Unofficial / reverse-engineered — not affiliated with CHASING
-
North America cloud endpoints only for now
-
CHASING allows one cloud session; HA and the phone app kick each other
-
Robot must be truly cloud-online for HA control (Wi-Fi alone isn’t enough)
Happy to take feedback / issues on GitHub.
