Thank you so much for this amazing integration! Am I correct in understanding that you can monitor just one fountain with it, without needing any other devices in your home? With the other HACS integration from Petkit, you absolutely need an additional device because the transmission only works that way.

You can monitor as many fountains as you want,
My integration does not use native bluetooth, you just need a device that serves as a relay (this is Petkitās BLE relay function) with either a feeder or a litterbox that serves as a sort of ābridgeā between foutain and API.
I already have the API requests/responses for this feeder, I just havenāt implemented it
There are so many devices and so many differences that I canāt support all features on all devices.
I have two of the PuraX litter boxes, and now since I have seen your integration, I would like to get a Petkit feeder and a Petkit fountain.
Before I make my feeder purchase, is there an easy way for me to determine which Petkit models have the feeding plan data fully integrated into your integration?
If there is not a way to determine that, can some of you end users chime in to tell me which models show the feeding schedule in HA?
So I havenāt exactly listed the models supported or not, what I am certain of is that the 2 models currently on sale on the Petkitās site are 100% supported (YumShare Dual-Hopper & YumShare Solo) the old models are not (Fresh Element, Fresh Element Mini, etc.)
Itās possible, but my integration is based on the API and not on a native Bluetooth connection. Developing a native bluetooth connection will require a lot of work, I donāt plan to do this
Is that why my water level and filter status often switch to āUnavailableā? Because I donāt have a second Wifi device? I was really hoping this integration would connect through my HA bluetooth dongle
Yes, without another device acting as a Bluetooth relay, the only way to receive updates is by connecting directly with your own smartphone to get the latest information.
However, I can see that there is a high demand for having Bluetooth fountains work locally without necessarily requiring a Bluetooth relay and without going through the cloud via an API.
I will look into this topic and integrate this functionality into my integration.
