I wanna make smart wrgb light for planted aquarium with the features like sunrise/sunset simulation every single LED's can be customised by smartphone we can change the colour, contrast, brightness of the led mean every single piece and because every plants needs different,and some plants need white led only but some need perfect spectrum which makes by combination of white , red, green, blue colours so plan to make with Arduino but need the help coz I didn't use Arduino or any other products like that it's my first project like this, and I want you buddies help me how can I make this next level smart wrgb light for planted aquariums with tru perfect spectrum
Can you edit the post, break up your thoughts a bit - and try to keep it in English, unless you prefer to get the topic moved to your native language ?

It sounds to me like you may not truly understand light or colour, from a physics or biology standpoint. You could be making your project more complex for zero benefit to your plants.
Please explain what you referred to as "perfect spectrum", how it is better for some plants and why.
To my knowledge, light that appears white but is in fact composed of red, green and blue led lights is not truly white light, it only appears so to human eyes.
What wavelengths plants can use for photosynthesis is another matter.

Welcome! I have a few questions: How do you plan on controlling the intensity of each color and then validate it to what you want. The intensity of LEDs varies from lot to lot and by color to color? Once you figure that out how are you going to determine Sunrise/Sunset? How do you propose to change the contrast of the LEDs. Red, Blue, Green combined make white so save a set of LEDs. Are you going to put a LED array above each plant?
When you answer the above questions you have a starting point. At this point draw a preliminary annotated schematic showing what you are using and how it is all connected. Post your preliminary code, we are not a free hard ware/software service. If you need that there is a for hire section her you can pay somebody to do it for you.
Now while you are not happy with my answer go and get a copy of the Arduino Cookbook and read all of it. At that point you will understand the questions asked.
