Aquarium tester with pixycam

Hello I have an aquarium that I controll with an Arduino Xify rev 2 and the IoT platform Cayenne and would like to add a new feature to automatize the aquarium tester strips with pixy cam basically this strips are deep in the water and they change the colour and you need to compare to the scale to know which is the value of the parameters related to the color something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU5gV6WilZU but fully automated. Do you have any idea or suggestion of how I can do it?

Hello Richard,
You might be able to use the video API to get the color of the strip section and then compare it to a “good” or “bad” RGB value.

Just an idea…
