Seneye reef controller sets a new bar for aquarium monitoring

Seneye is a new water monitoring device that is set to go into beta soon and is UK based. Seneye works by dropping a digital all-in-one monitor into your water that reports a wide variety of parameters and controls them as well. “Seneye believes its products are a massive step forward in animal welfare, allowing any fishkeeper to monitor invisible pollution in aquariums or ponds. The revolutionary product constantly monitors, among other parameters, free ammonia (NH3), pH, water level, temperature, LUX, Kelvin and PAR.

Importantly, the Seneye controller utlizes predictive software, warning owners before a dreaded aquarium crash. The device is available with a USB for connection to a PC as well as an optional USB power adapter, allowing it can work autonomously. The results are relayed to the customer’s computer and uploaded to their on-line web space. Alerts are sent to the customer via text messages and e-mail allowing for remote monitoring. The sophisticated software analyses the results and raises a warning when parameters stray from the norm, as well as recommending corrective actions.”

The best part of Seneye is that it suggests and recommends actions when it detects something astray or not quite right. There will be three main models available at launch in July including a seneye Home, seneye Pond and seneye Reef version that offers different options depending on the device. You’ll have access to a mobile version of Seneye that allows you to remotely monitor your aquarium perimeters and even report on them, address key deficiencies in your reef tank. The monitoring plan called Seneye+ is priced at around $8/monthly.

The seneye Reef features include:

Automatically monitors multiple key parameters
Constantly watching your aquarium, 5600 readings per month
Get healthier coral using the integrated LUX, Kelvin and PAR light meter
Early warning, intelligent software predicts future water conditions
Convenient alerts sent to e-mail and mobile phone

Pricing is expected at £99 in the UK for the Seneye reef version hardware with a July time frame release.
