Fish Tank Monitor

An arduino project to monitor the quality of the fish tank and manage the lighting.

Originally started off as a way to just monitor the pH and temperature, but is evolving in to managing the lighting and simulating weather conditions. A bit more than a monitor (I'll rename the project eventually).

After checking out please run git update-index --assume-unchanged openWeatherMapApiKey.h to make sure you don't check in the API key.

Ideas

  • Syncronise time with NTP. ✔
  • Get runrise and sunset data from http://api.sunrise-sunset.org/json?lat=20.548103&lng=96.916835&formatted=0 and turn on and off according to that. (Will need to accomodate for +6.5 hour difference as times are in UTC) ✔
  • Syncronise with weather from Lake Inlé (fish's origin)
    • Dim for cloudy weather ✔
    • Flash for lightning ✔
    • Implement rain (pump water through spray bar across tank?)
