100% Local Petlibro Home Assistant App (add-on)

I am looking for beta testers and contributors for a Home Assistant app that gives you full local control of Petlibro devices, no cloud required. If it works for you, you get feeding schedules, water intake tracking, filter and maintenance reminders, pump and light controls, Home Assistant automations, and a built-in web interface for managing everything. No Petlibro app needed after setup (unless your device is factory reset, etc.). Only a couple of devices are supported so far, but the goal is to expand that with community help. **You must meet the following criteria:** 1. Have a working Home Assistant install with the Mosquitto broker app, plus Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, or another method to set a local DNS override. 2. Own a Dockstream 2 fountain and/or a Petlibro One RFID Smart Feeder. Other devices are a bonus and will help expand support. 3. Have a GitHub account to install the add-on. 4. Be able to provide clear, concise bug reports and know where to find logs in HA. 5. Bonus: willing to share your device serial number by DM or email to help with automatic device detection, color, and feature mapping. **Features that likely won't work with local control:** 1. Audio played on devices (like your custom audio played at mealtime). 2. Video; this includes the Scout cam and any device with a camera. These are cloud-dependent features that would require Petlibro to open their platform. If that ever changes, the infrastructure is already in place to support them. I've had my One RFID feeder and two Dockstream 2 fountains blocked from internet access for a week now while this app was built. I chose the ingress app approach rather than a custom integration because I want this to be as easy as possible for anyone to set up once the bugs are worked out. If this sounds like something you're interested in, check out the GitHub repo for details and screenshots of the mobile and desktop interfaces: https://github.com/smcneece/petlibro-local Please report bugs and suggest features on GitHub, not here on Reddit.
