Get an auto programmable dosing pump.
Its 67 dollars for 4 pumps on amazon. I think you can program it to do auto water topoff too.
Get an auto feeder and your set. If you want you can install a webcam and watch your aquarium on your phone.

copypaste post below:
I do not have one, I am thinking of making my own with a rpi as a fun project. I have heard decent things about the JEBAO ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egzKNDi4y14 I think they are on the cheaper side but good quality. I think they are mainly used in salt water tanks, but no reason why they cannot be used with plant ferts.

I don't have one of those but buying dosing pumps for my reef tanks was one of the best investments.

Is this the sort of product you're looking for?
Not op, however I use the Jebao dosing pump.
So far it's been running for almost 2 months reliably dosing ferts and metricide every day.
The calibration was a huge pain in the ass and it is over by exactly 1ml no matter what I do (I must have calibrated it over 100 times) , but it is easy to overcome that by just setting it one ml lower then you need.
Overall for the price, without knowing the longevity of the item I fully recommend it. It makes dosing a breeze and it helps to create a stable and consistent growing environment.
Not to mention if you were to ever need to leave the tank to take a trip or you just can't do anything for a period of time it will continue to dose your tank.
I would automate:
By having a cleanup crew (amano shrimp, nerite snails, siamese algae eaters) in my 75 I've managed to automate algae management and cleanliness.
I've been thinking about the last one ... there are pumps you can buy on Amazon that do that like the Jebao Pump, and even considering DIY solutions like this with a Raspberry Pi.
Awesome tank! I've been thinking about getting a dwarf puffer or 3 but my little 7 gallon isn't big enough. Maybe once I get a larger tank.
If you can, get an automatic doser for the ferts. It's saved me so much time and I'm sure the plants like the consistency. I bought this pump a while back and it's been working great.
I finally got my co2 dialed in so that it's a nice green when the lights fully kick on and slightly yellow when the lights go off. Just working on fine-tuning lights/ferts to get rid of some green hair, green spot and black beard algae. Unfortunately, I didn't have working co2 for a while which gave a big window for the algae to start taking over.
