Summary

InfluxDB is being used by Jeremy White, a Senior Network Automation Consultant, to monitor his 200-gallon salt-water aquariums. He uses InfluxDB's time-series database capabilities to collect data from various sensors, including water temperature, salinity, pH levels, and more. The data is stored in InfluxDB and can be visualized using Grafana. Jeremy has set up automation rules using InfluxDB and Grafana to control aspects of his aquariums, such as turning on fans when the temperature rises above a certain level or adding water when the level drops too low. By monitoring his tanks continuously, Jeremy has been able to identify issues and make adjustments to improve the health and growth of his coral. He plans to use InfluxDB and Grafana to conduct controlled studies on home aquariums and eventually help improve the natural coral reefs by aquaculture.
