Hi everyone

I was wondering if anyone has used the switchdoc labs SG3
It's pretty cool, able to basically  automate the monitoring and
running of a garden and or other water or soil environments and run
stuff like pumps, sensors and lights etc.

I was also wondering anyone could recommend a similar system for a
pond or big aquarium, I've always thought it would be cool if there
was a system for automating the monitoring and control of an aquarium
or a man made Pond etc.

The basic idea is pretty simple you'd need a computer and software to
controll everything
And some sensors to monitor stuff like tempature, water/air quality,
light level, maybe salinity other something
and some water/air pumps for moving the water/air and or aiding to the
level if need etc.
and if you wanted to get real fancy you could add some sort of flow
sensor or even a heater/cooler component and have the ability to keep
tempatures and flow rates within certian parameters etc.

Don't know if this actually exist but I think it would be very cool to
do and there's many systems out there for smart gardens so I'm sure
there's some sort of aquarium or pond system after the hardware needed
is similar or even the same to a degree


Any recommendations or comments are always appreciated
