Bought so fertilizer dosing would be identical every day and independent of whether anyone is home, a variable removed rather than managed.
What I've learned
·Owning the hardware was not the same as having the automation: it sat on the tank configured but not dosing for a period, and fertilizer went in by hand until it was put into service.
·It exposes its state over a local interface, so dose, schedule and container level are read rather than assumed.
Installation
Not yet documented.
Configuration
·2Hr Aquarist APT 3, dosed automatically
·APT 3 is a single-bottle fertilizer, so one head carries it and the second head is unassigned.
·Dose and schedule are read off the doser on the Pearl and Tank pages rather than restated here
Maintenance
Not yet documented.
Known limitations
Not yet documented. Absence here means nothing has been written down, not that there are none.
Current observations
·In service, dosing on a fixed daily schedule.
