Default What are you controlling with your Apex?

Just installed my Apex over the past few days, got wireless and Internet access running and have fallen in love for the first time in years.

I am interested in what others are using their Apex to control.

So far I have:

Lights and light fan on a timer.

pH probe to control the solenoid feeding CO2 to my calcium reactor.

Heater controlled by the temperature probe (heater is set 2 degrees above the controller's heat setting for redundancy).

I am working on installing a float switch to shut off the skimmer, then I can be more aggressive about tuning my skimmer without worrying about it overflowing.

Is there anybody running the controller for other or non-standard uses, I would like to hear about other ideas to make the most of this equipment.
