[FeatureRequest] hints on how to improve water quality

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We show values such as pH or ORP to make the quality of our water the best it can be. But how to achieve this?

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to be able to display tips based on the data we have.
Examples of use:

  • high pH, low ORP - display lower water pH.
  • correct pH, low ORP - add chlorine.

Additional context
I know that for many people these are obvious things, but especially with people who are just starting out in the pool, this would be very helpful. For example - high pH and low ORP - where to start? Add chlorine first, or lower the pH first?

Disagree on that feature. The redox measuring has no direct correlation to chlorine or any other water desinfection method. Yes you can use it to automate your desinfection method, but it still depends on so many other things that you can't program tips on top of that.
On top of that redox measuring is not only used in combination with chlorine desinfection, it can also be like active oxygen or bromine. So the tips you would like to have would also depend on the desinfection method you personally choose.
