Logo	Name	Links
	ESD CyclePay	[iOS] [Android]

Intro

CyclePay for Home Assistant is a Home Assistant integration that uses ESD's CyclePay / LaundryLink system to display information about the washers and dryers in your building's laundry room in Home Assistant.

Use this integration to:

1. Avoid disappointment: Know whether any machines are available now or will be available in the next hour.
2. Pay Easily: CyclePay is slow and requires a ridiculous number of taps to start and top off your cycle. This integration provides a faster way to add money to machines.

Warnings

1. This integration can spend your money. Theoretically, a bug in this code could drain your entire laundry card or otherwise spend more than you intended.
2. This integration is not endorsed or supported by ESD, Hercules, or their business partners. Use of this integration may have negative consequences, including but not limited to being banned from CyclePay.

Use this integration at your own risk.
