The Scaper's Helper is an aquarium controller for which the crowdfunding will start in a few weeks.
The Scaper‘s Helper helps your aquascape to ideal plant growth with minimal effort. Start with a recipe that specifies the basic settings for your aquascape. The Scaper‘s Helper then takes care of the regular fertilization using integrated dosing pumps. Perfect lighting conditions are achieved by dimming RGB(W) light bars including thunderstorms, Cloud and moon simulation created.
Make maintenance less stressful and save CO2 with switchable sockets. The conditions in and around the Aquascape can be monitored with temperature and humidity sensors and water level sensors. The pH value can be regulated via a pH probe and CO2-solenoid. If that's not enough for you, the controller can be expanded with your own modules as required with the available IO and PWM ports.
Sunrise, sunset and moon phase simulation.
Dimming of LED bars
Dim LED lights with sunrise and sunset, moonlight, thunderstorm and cloud simulation. Your scape will appear in perfect light.
Perfect plant growth
Fertilizer dosing
Witht he 3 built in dosing pumps, you'll achieve perfect plant growth with absolute accuracy and any number of doses per day.
Ease your maintenance and save CO2
Switch sockets
The filter, heater and CO2 will be switched off while you are waiting for your scape. Save CO2 by switching off your pressurized gas system overnight.
Hands wet? No Problem!
Voice-Assistant-integration
If your hands are in the aquarium, you can control the Scaper's Helper via Google Home or Alexa. This is of course not a must. The Scaper's Helper also works without internet access.
All parameters always in view
Monitor and Control
With connection options for temperature sensors, pH probes, flow meters, level sensors and more, you always have an overview of all the important parameters relating to your scape.
Temperature too high or low? Maintenance due?
Alarms
Alarms draw your attention to unfavorable readings and warn you if water is leaking or the water level is too low. You will also be reminded of regular upcoming appointments, such as weekly maintenance.
