The watergate component provides an integration with Watergate's local API service. It adds sensors for metrics like water flow, pressure, and valve state, and provides device actions such as opening/closing the valve and monitoring device telemetry.
Currently we are in the process of integrating this component in Home Assistan core. It will be available soon there.
⚠️ Note: Ensure that you have enabled a Local API in Watergatge mobile application.
