Home assistant as an APEX.

[CoralPlast]

Ain't got the money for a apex so i go for what i can... Temp, ph and S.G are recorded automatically from a W3988 sensor. MG, CA, ALK, NO3 and PO4 are value inserted by hand (i will use that instead of aquarium note). Can setup alarm and automation for control heater/backup heater and send notification if something is abnormal. I use a Joy-reef dosing system (DIY) and i find a shortcut to have it on home assistant. Cheap and effective. Will add option little by little. Realiability wise not sure yet, w2988 controller is running for 6 months without issue i just hope smart plugs don't fail.

If this works for you man! It's all about finding the right solution for yourself- and an Aquarium controller although very beneficial is not for everyone!

Find your own way- looks great what you do there! :-) And with enough smart plugs you can make Alexa do many, many things for you with a wee bit of smart programming along the way.

My Apex keeps loosing WiFi and requires frequent restarts. Alexa can manage that for me when i'm way - she stays online!

I got a pH-W3988 and with the Tuya integration I only see the temperature as a sensor. PH, and Salinity are missing. Did you do something else to get it working? Thanks

hi,

When you configure your local device you have to specify in DPS the sensor 8,102,107,110,113,… of the W3988
