Anyone using Tuya as controller?

With wifi stuff, tuya in particular, definitely test what happens when your internet/connection to the cloud cuts out or your router/wifi network goes down. Not so critical for measurements, but be careful if you control anything.

Also, you test Magnesium but not alkalinity? Tuya don't have an alk tester do they?

Nope I'm dosing kalk on ph, it's abit easier for me.

Not sure if you are aware but the Hydros wifi power strips and wifi plugs are Tuya protocol.

Yup, I noticed that with the wifi power strip and fish feeder they sell. Looks just like stuff I have now that's tuya app controlled.

At near the Tuya price point you could find a good used Classic Apex. I think you will find that those of us that have used they found then very reliable. Personal I ran a original "black label" for about 12 years, with almost no issue. I just switched to an "A2" system a few weeks ago.

Still very far price point I think, coz you could get good control for $50 aquarium controller + 10x $5 dongle so which you can control 10 devices. Total 100.
Their aquarium controller can measure temperature, orp, pH, salinity. Which can do alots of things base on those
Controlling temp with price of inkbird.
Kalk dosing base on ph so it's cover alk, calcium & pH
Salinity base ato or even set-up auto water change.
I just wanted to point out it's cheap way into controller that's all.
100 bucks which can go really really far
