I recommend the Ehiem as that's the only one I've used. The manual push button on the feeder bridges a ground path which starts up the feeder, once it starts it takes over and knows when to stop. This made it easy as the signal pin on feeder port is a ground that gets switched on and off. This is how it gets connected.

Not sure about that, my food has never gotten wet but it's definitely not sealed either.
If it was just a matter of turning on/off the feeder you could connect it to the feeder port, 3.3v and signal pin (ground).

Sorry I don't have an answer, I'm guessing there's a way but without having it I wouldn't know.

I have just finished testing the Zacro and it appears to be able to be powered and controlled from the reef-pi also. I'm still debugging since this is my first try and anything in reef-pi. It is working.
