Thanks for the reply. I'd certainly use this functionality if it ever got added in the future. I could move all of my sensors over to the MQTT type, but i really like the hardwired security of your HAT.
An update on this (apologies, other projects took over, but summer growing season is only around the corner...!!).
i had a good look at the HardwareSetting page, trying to get the sensors and watercontrol publishing to my MQTT server.
Unfortunately, all i managed to do was set up a fake watercontrol line to publish to MQTT:
this isn't really what i'm after(!) but it does prove that the software can push to an external MQTT server. this is what i receive in MQTT Explorer 😀:
Do you think there's a way i can send the output of my sensors (hard wired to your HAT) to MQTT? I'd really like to get Hydrosys integrated in to Home Assistant...
I think this problem can be addressed using the Home assistant integration which has been implemented in the latest release, see the following post:

This is base on MQTT so the hydrosys4 will transfer all the status information over MQTT.
You can use the setting page to query the topics assigned to each sensor/actuator

Unfortunately there is no function to export the sensor reading using MQTT protocol.

ficco! I'll give that a try, once i've updated the software and report back...
In theory should be possible, just type the broker IP address in the "address" field of the "hardwarecontrol" row.
Anyway it is not tested, so let me know if something happen.
