+This plugin collects the value of the available sensors in an Aquaero 5 board.
+Aquaero 5 is a watercooling controller board, manufactured by Aqua Computer GmbH
+L<http://www.aquacomputer.de/>, with a USB2 connection for monitoring and
+configuration. The board can handle multiple temperature sensors, fans, water
+pumps and water level sensors and adjust the output settings such as fan voltage
+or power the water pump based on the available inputs using a configurable
+controller included in the board. This plugin collects all the available inputs
+as well as some of the output values choosen by this controler. The plugin is
+based on the libaquaero5 library provided by aquatools-ng.
