Hi,
I am building an aquarium that is controlled by a microcontroller, the microcontroller controls the lights, temperature and water level. To do all these controls I’ve used a Arduino mega and at the moment it’s all working fine.
My new goal is:
*To set up on the internet/cloud a sql server and send data from my house aquarium to the database. This gives me the possibility to show data on a website with my smartphone.
*The other aspect that I’m looking for is to send commands from the internet to the aquarium, such as switching on and off the light or regulate the temperature.
What electronics components should I use?
A web server integrated in the aquarium? Are there any cheap chips? How do they work? Can it send and retrieve data on internet?
Please give me guideline of topics and aspect that I need to study.
Please don't suggest raspberry pi, cause I'm planning to sell the aquarium and I would like that the electronics and controls would not cause any problems in terms of speed, crashes, price.
thanks
