I'm very interested in this controller and would like to discuss it's features. Anybody own one? I recall reading somewhere that it can interface with your PC on a wireless network and send you email or text alerts. Is this true, or do I have it confused with another controller?

definitely a helpful chart, but unfortunately it doesn't address my specific questions.

Ethernet Port
Web Server Control
Telnet Server
Emails Alarms
Pager Alerts
IR Remote Capable
BlueTooth Remote Capable

is this not what you're looking for?

I am running one, works great!

There is a data logging feature where it can plot your temp and pH readings, but at this time thats all. It is not a wireless feature, but rather hooks into your CPU via a cable.

I am running it with an expansion module and it is controlling 5 250W MH, 4 54W T5, 4 40W NO, fans and heater(controlled by temp sensor), Moonlights, Dart/4 way closed loop (on a delayed shutoff for feeding times).

Been running mine since early fall and love it!

I just bought one from Prairie Reef Supplies. An awesome little unit. I will be doing a thread on it shortly, as I'm just getting it all wired up, and programed
