You can go with a standalone doser like the Kamoer https://www.marinedepot.com/Kamoer_...oer_Deepwater_Aquatics-PL10501-FIDPET-vi.html which has all of the programming on the unit, or something like the BRS Doser or Apex DOS which you control via controller programming. I currently use both, with the DOS controlling water changes, and the Kamoer dosing ATI Essentials. You can control how much (ML) of each you want to be dosed over a specified time frame. Anything more specific you want to know?

How does it know how much to add?
Ah! Yes you have to determine how much you are using, by testing the water parameters for Cal and Alk, if that's what you are dosing, and then adjust the amounts to what you want. There is an awesome calculator here: http://reef.diesyst.com/chemcalc/chemcalc.html.

Is there any that test water for you then doses accordingly if not someone should make one
There's CoralVue's KH Guardian Pro: https://www.coralvue.com/kh-guardian-pro which will do Alk, and the Neptune is releasing the Trident (unknown release date), that will test Calcium, Alk, and Mag, but then you would need a separate doser to act on the measurements. Those are the only two that I, personally, know about.
