Hi Love Aquariums, I Have i 200 L Aquarium inside i wall in my Apartment. I have been looking into automation of my tank for a few months now and I have now invested in my first Raspberry Pi and hooked it up to Cayenne.
The first phase will be to only turn on/off lights on/off, turn on/off the Fish Feeder and monitor the tank temperature via Cayenne.
The second phase is to connect monitor the quality of the water, PH, KH, etc.
What’s Connected
1 Raspberry PI
1 DS18B20
1 Four Relay Board
Triggers & Alerts
Temperature sensor - monitors temperature of the tank, with an alert for high and low extremes.
Scheduling
Food 1 one time week 1 minute food feeder is running
COOL project! The fish tank looks like professional installation, very impressive. Do you have idea which sensors you are going to use for phase 2 of the aquarium? It may help to make a post in Cayenne forum about recommended sensors that work well.
I am very curious on how you go with adding the pH probe. I am planning to do something similar but I cannot get my head around on how to read the values
