Sorry if it's already there and I've just not seen it, but it would be absolutely awesome if the feed mode switches were available as a switch, to beable make a feedmode widget with HA

Thanks for this addon, and all the hard work you've put into it!

I used Home Assistant to implement a more robust feeding time automation that integrates various sensors and timers, and exposes that automation out to HomeKit/Siri. “Aquarium Feeding Time” stops all the pumps for 15 minutes, including the skimmer, ATO, and dosing. After the main return comes back on, it waits 5 minutes to turn on everything except the skimmer. Then it waits for the sump water level to drop below a threshold before starting the skimmer (so it won’t just overflow the cup).

Would you mind sharing that configuration with me? Thank you for the reply!

Simple feed cycle switches and countdown sensor added in 1.13 :)
