I ordered one to use with my Seneye, which utilizes USB connection. I'm not sure how the Radion & Apex connects to a router, but this also has a LAN Cat5 connection as well.
Well aren't you a smarty pants something to look at for sure. If the usb connected into the power source instead of the light itself, I could see this working. My concern is 1)the computer is hooked into the light fixture hanging over the tank, 2) kids, 3) pets. Even for a short period of time leaving the cord plugged in unattended or in another room would make me nervous someone somehow would catch the cord. Man I sound super pessimistic today and I'm normally not....sorry. I'm a glass half full kinda person, but this just screams be cautious. I'm ok with hooking up a laptop, making changes then moving on. Might be dangerous to have access any time, just for kicks to see what you can come up with. If it goes completely wireless - great. If not, the way it is works too!
