AquaBox: Lets hear what the people want!

[Andrewalex11]

Im starting to incorporate probes for water parameter monitoring, and will probably soon build the ATO module but really let the ideas fly on me here guys I want to pack in just more than temperature and pH and I don't want to straight copy features off our wonderful existing controllers.

What features would you like to see the AquaBox have? No holding back

Water and Air Temp, Air Humidity, PH, Salinity and ORP

Humidity thats interesting I've never seen that be vastly monitored? any particular reason why for humidity?

It would be interesting to see how much humidity the aquarium is causing in a room especially if they are open top tanks

I personally have never seen probes for Stray electricity, having had problems with this before I can say it's actually really hard to notice unless you stick your hand in the tank everyday.

Also I think a controller should have the option to have cameras connected to it something like a gopro in the tank to see the fishes while at work would be amazing.

Another useful probe would be CO2 in the air outside the tank and if that would be recorded it would easy to match with pH data and see how the home affects the tank during the day.

And definitely EVERY controller should have a port for a smoke detector in case of fire the controller should be able to turn off the main supply to the tank and call you.
