| Fellow Aiden coffee brewer (firmware 1.5.16+) | Works Cloud | Remote Instant Brew works on 1.5.16 or newer; cloud-only, no remote profile selectionSaved copyLimitations: Remote start requires firmware 1.5.16 or newer and uses the brewer's existing Instant Brew profile and quantity.

| Fellow Aiden coffee brewer (firmware 1.5.9) | Partly works Cloud | Instant Brew button sets cloud flag but brewer does not start on old firmwareSaved copyEnvironment - Integration version: v2.0.0 - Aiden firmware: 1.5.9 - Home Assistant: 2026.8.3 ### Summary Pressing `button. _start_instant_brew` successfully updates the cloud-side device_config (doBrew flips to true, brewingProfileId/brewingWaterVolumeMl set correctly), but the physical brewer never starts brewing. ### Steps to reproduce 1. Confirm Instant Brew is configured on-device (touchscreen) with a valid profile + water quantity (Medium Roast, 320ml in my case). 2.

Limitations from the README
- Remote start requires firmware 1.5.16 or newer and uses the brewer's existing Instant Brew profile and quantity. The button is hidden on older or unknown firmware and unavailable when the brewer reports offline, busy, open, out of water, or missing the required basket/carafe.

- No remote profile selection: the mobile client contains a selection route, but Fellow's live Aiden gateway rejects authenticated calls to it. The integration exposes the current profile as a sensor instead of a non-functional control.
- Cloud push uses Fellow's Android Firebase registration flow, which is an undocumented mobile protocol. The integration automatically reconnects and retains polling as the source-of-truth fallback.
- Cloud-only: all data comes through Fellow's servers. If their API is down, the integration can't update.
