AquaPi Aquaponics: Smart Monitoring for Your Recirculating Ecosystem

from $1,670.00
Home Assistant Hardware:

Managing an aquaponics system is a high-stakes balancing act. You aren't just growing plants—you are managing a living, closed-loop metabolical engine where fish waste fuels nitrifying biofilters, which in turn feed your crops. A failure in any part of this trio can ruin an entire harvest overnight.

AquaPi now features an integrated display! You can view your aquarium's vital water parameters live and in real-time right at the device—no need to pull up your Home Assistant dashboard just to do a quick spot-check.

Built for Scale and Precision:

The Aquaponics array utilizes an insulated, agriculture-grade hardware foundation explicitly designed to handle heavy organic bio-loads and provide continuous, rock-solid telemetry:

  • Integrated Wi-Fi Aquaponics Kit Foundation: Built around the Atlas Scientific Wi-Fi Aquaponics architecture, this system is designed for longevity and accuracy in demanding agricultural environments.

  • Precision Nutrient & Solid Tracking (EC): Fish waste mineralizes into bio-available salts for your crops. The included Electrical Conductivity (EC) sensor lets you measure dissolved solids in real-time, ensuring your plant beds are receiving adequate nutrition without accumulation to toxic levels.

  • Critical Symbiotic pH Stability: Fish, plants, and nitrifying bacteria all have conflicting pH sweet spots. AquaPi's lab-grade pH circuit tracks tiny changes, allowing you to catch pH crashes early and execute automated buffers before it stresses your fish or locks out crop nutrients.

  • High-Accuracy Water Vitals (RTD): Bacterial conversion rates and fish respiration are deeply tied to water temperatures. Monitor water vitals using a high-accuracy Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) probe to trigger water chillers or inline heaters automatically.

  • Atmospheric & Canopy Optimization (CO2 & Humidity): Plant growth requires tightly controlled transpiration and gas exchange. Natively log ambient relative humidity and gaseous carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) to calculate accurate Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) models, automatically controlling greenhouse exhaust louvers, intake fans, or supplementary lights.

  • Direct In-Line Integration: Probes are engineered for flexible deployment. Submerge them directly into your sump tank/fish array, or twist them cleanly into inline PVC manifold pipes for active loop logging. See Here

  • Contact Us for custom orders.

Why AquaPi Aquaponics?

Standard agricultural monitors are isolated, proprietary, and costly. AquaPi disrupts commercial ecosystems by delivering a fully custom, open-source member of your local smart home infrastructure.

  • Remote Peace of Mind: Track your bio-filter health, fish tank oxygenation, and humidity curves from your phone while away from the greenhouse.

  • Predictive Safety Arrays: Catch parameters trending toward danger zones before they cause root rot, biological filter stalling, or fish mortality. Use pre-built Home Assistant Blueprints to coordinate dosing pumps, top-off solenoids, or tank aerators.

  • Handcrafted Modular Flexibility: Build exactly what you need. The master PCB features expanded circuit channels, allowing you to mix and match sensor footprints easily as your commercial or back-yard array scales upward.

Included Sensors: Temperature, pH-EZO, Salinity EC-EZO, Dissolved Oxygen DO-EZO, CO2-EZO, Humidity HUM-EZO
