多年来，水族馆的控制和自动化一直是一个热门话题。在负担得起的水族馆控制器上市之前，我们将灯塔计时器和黑客X10设备连接在一起以进行竞标。并不是说自动化和控制在水族馆和家庭中变得越来越无处不在，诸如Blacksumac Piper之类的产品可能是进行更集成自动化的关键。
水族馆控制者的问题之一是找到可以与之交谈和控制的产品。多亏了智能手机，我们将控制器煮沸到了一些以移动设备为中心的操作系统，并且设备变得更加聪明。所有这些融合都使人们今天有可能在明天的未来投票时做更多的事情。
吹笛者为什么对水族馆行业很重要？当我们开始更多地思考家庭和水族馆之间的融合时，有一些方法可以通过吹笛者为您的家庭和业余爱好添加更强大的系统。
Piper is not just a security camera that streams live video to your iPhone on demand like the Dropcam, it’s also a weather station, a programmable motion- and sound-detecting device, a data-visualization tool for your in-home habits, and a wireless hub for controlling other devices.
Think of it. Want to know when your kids get home from school/ Check. The Piper can sense that and send you a report. Want to check on your aquarium from afar to see how your new anthias are doing? Check. The Piper can do that.
除了能够充当控制房屋和水族馆设备的枢纽外，最引人注目的部分之一是数据收集和可视化。吹笛者可以根据房屋的活动模式，噪声水平，湿度水平以及内部/外部温度创建图表和图形。想象一下，知道外部环境如何影响您的水族馆并根据需要进行调整。
风笛手来了在一个合理的价格。The initial unit is shipping for $240 and works over WiFi. Expect more Z-Wave compatible devices to be tested and added to this system in the future. This could be the way the hobby shifts if more manufacturers looked for ways to tie into consumer-driven technologies instead of proprietary systems that require continued maintenance to maintain effectiveness.
