It would be a very bad idea to replace your recommended test kit with an automated gadget. We can help you with the test. Check out the videos Marty posted.

It literally takes a dozen tries and it becomes second nature. For any of the tests I do monthly or more, I just grab the bottles and get right to it from memory.
Calcium doesn't matter for me so I add a little in the spring and don't bother with it after that. Next spring I won't remember how many drops I need so I'll have to check the instructions but they won't be overwhelming like the first couple tries.
Do you have a smart stir ? It does most the work for you and improves consistency / accuracy. It's the best $48 you can spend on your pool IMO.
The important part is to just relax and do one test at a time.s in order before I I wrote all my test I got thePoolMath app
