AQUACONTROL

Aquacontrol is a freshwater Aquarium controller to make it easy the interaction with the most common technical equipment used in aquariums.

You can find:

1. PCB Board project on Circuit Maker
2. Housing for 3D Printer on Thingiverse

And here on GitHub the repository includes:

• apk. Android apk developed on Android Studio.
• Aquacontrol. ESP8266 firmware developed on Arduino IDE.
• me. Case developed on FreeCAD.

Setup

Aquacontrol consists on one PCB which controls the most common technics on the beginners aquarium:

• Heater, to heat the water usually around 25ºC.
• Filter, to keep the biological and mechanical filtering of the water running.
• Lamp, to illuminate the aquarium and improve plants growing.
• Aerator, to improve the exchange of O2.

To ease the setup and to avoid cutting the equipment cables, I have used a Simon set:

• Simon 27731-65. Surface mount pack for four sockets.
• Simon 27432-65. 4 Schuko Sockets

Application

The APK includes a Main Activity to control the Aquarium and a Settings activity con configure MQTT Broker.
