Hi, OS app has to go through apple process and I think you have to be registered paid developer to have the app on apple store. A work around is web interface to allow interaction from any device with internet access. I am next step is to create that for this...will post it here when done. I have not worked on Raspberry Pie...but I would like to play with one as so many talk about this Pie....so what language do you use to code raspberry pie.

Hi Guys I have just done some more addition to the aquamonitor so thought to keep you in loop. I have added real time temp and pH graphing on web. Below is the link to the hosted page. http://srjp.net/wordpress/?p=53 Let me know what else you would like to be added. The pH reading is not smooth right more because its not calibrated yet...its just running on prototype, but reading from my aquarium. cheers

Some video of the AquaMonitor. I have added a IR to it to control the aquarium light. Part 1 https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=611923868820355 Part 2 https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=611939448818797 Let me know if any suggestions. cheers

I used the basic probe

Thats great...I don't have any linux knowledge, but i understand its very opensource. Well best of luck and keep posted.

Hi Few have shown interest on the cost and the build. So I thought to inform that if you want one built for your aquarium. I can build them on order. Because I build and programmed it. It can be customized to you need and requirement, so the cost is very much dependent on it. The built will include all software (pc and smartphone(android). A basic manual guide. If you want to opt for Web access one, it can also have email alerts. PM me what your require or even if you just want what i have got now and i will work out a cost for the build. cheers

It is most expensive sensor on the project. So you have completed the build or in process of building one. Raspberry pi is an interesting piece. I haven't worked on it, but would like to see some pictures ones you are done. Are you using linux to code the project?

Yes I can, same as I am using the temp reading to turn ON/OFF the heater. The code is not open source. This was developed out of hobby, so not producing this for profit, but I am willing to make on order for a price that will cover the cost of hardware and allow me to develop more exciting devices.

The case is not waterproofed. I thought about it, but could not find way to do it neatly. I assume one can use some kind of proxy glue or water sealant. I just try to keep it out of water and avoid the sensor box falling in aquarium, but the cables are long enough to attach them on the side or safe place away from reach of water....for now...till google god show me some bright idea. :lar: cheers

Thanks...I can make one to order, But this was built in my spare time plus I source all my parts myself. So time frame will be needed to built one. Let me now if you ever interested. cheers

This one does not as I do not need that. But its very easy to store reading in microSD card, since the reading is very small in data usage, you would use 2GB card for years of data. Also you can use that data for graphing.

Hi Friends I have been working on a project making a aquarium monitoring system. Its complete and I thought I'd share it with you. Brief explanation of what the system do and its features. OS: Arduino Uno Monitors real time temperature and pH and displays on 16x2 LCD screen. Controls the aquarium heater based on the temperature reading. Sounds Alarm if temperature or pH reading exceeds the set min and max readings Controls the automatic fish feeder. Controls the aquarium light, heater, air pump and filter. Set ON / OFF timer on aquarium light and air pump. Full user configurable PC front application to monitor temp /pH reading, configuring the system and manual control. Android Smartphone App to monitor temp/pH reading and switch ON/OFF aquarium light, heater, air pump, filter and feeding Fish Bluetooth V.2 communication with PC and smartphone Light ambient sensor. WLAN and web based monitoring (optional) Now some pictures: Prototype Sensor box ready checking sensors on glass of water Putting thing together in a neat enclosure All nicely labeled Screen Test Hacking the auto fish feeder to connect to arduino Hacked and ready to connect. Everything that is in the project (Note: Fish feeder is not there as took the pic before I figured out how to hack the feeder) PC front end application. Connect to PC via either bluetooth or USB. (note: I have just updated the app and added the "Feed Fish" button which activates the auto fish feeder) Android App for smart phone. Connects via bluetooth. Provides real time reading. Shake the phone to activate fish feeder. Running on my Aquarium I already have a web designed and coded for it. So one can fully control the aquarium from any web capable device. This project does not have that feature yet, but its fully up gradable. I will put some video soon. Please provide your feedback on this. Positive or negative.

I used google sketchUp to design. Its great app to use for design and also easy to learn. I thought I just share this to those who are thinking of making their own stand. You can check this app at this site http://sketchup.google.com/ PS: Good thing its FREE.

Local Fish Shop....I think.

I think that whats happened to the guppies that I bought last week from HFF. It (two of them) died after two days. I think she could not bare the PH difference. Now that put me in worry as i am interested in getting some mollies from trademe soon and I don't want to kill them thru PH difference. Any suggestion what should i do when i get the fish to introduce it to the tank. I have one empty small tank...if this helps in some way.
