Aquaro - Aquarium automation

thingiverse

Aquarium-Automation Nice project for experienced makers who keep fish nearby their soldering iron. You will need an Arduino Nano, a Wemos D1 mini (ESP8266), 4 buttons, a temperature sensor (DS18B20), 3 relays, a Neopixel-like RGB-stripe, a frame, plexiglass for the case, and some skill with electronics. This project offers several features: - Control LED lighting for plants - Colored RGB LEDs for foreground and background - Pump control - Temperature monitoring and alerting - Automatic feeding system - Cable management around the aquarium - Time planning for each feature - Web server control for PC and smartphone A video is better than 1000 words: https://youtu.be/iqHUkQb2Dwk I divided the frame into two parts so I could print it on my Wanhao 5s mini. If you have a printer with limited building space, you may need to divide it into more parts. The print files with round pads can be used to connect aluminum rods between them. These rods can be glued into the aquarium's cover. Then, bind the RGB stripes with cable ties into the cover.

Nunz Update: I added an optional cooler that can be easily connected to the USB ports integrated in the frame of this project: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2446884
