Question for all of you that have or SELL controller's

not sure about the DA RKP, the main thing that mademe pick the Apex over RKP was ability for me to remotely monitor and control all outlets through smartphone or internet. So if i left town for 2 weeks i still know what is going on.

I don't think you need Orp proble. PM2 module has the outlet for you to hook up the breakout box. You still need the breakout box to monitor floatswitches.

If you decide to go with Apex, get the standard package and breakout box. Try that out first and then add other stuff later

Also, if i ever get to buy a controller again, i would buy Apex again because how easy i got things to work the way i want it. However, I also heard bad story about it so i can't recommend. Tinman may sell his, pm him

I am looking at the DA site now and from what I see they have a mod that is called NET so you can monitor from anywhere. So far the new DA models are very comparable for less $$$$. Still doing lots of research.

i guess the DA version offer that ability now. Before it could not that is why i went with Apex. Is there any smartphone app that can work with it?

Not sure but I would think there would be by now if they added the NET mod. That would be sweet as i have an Iphone now.

base on what i am reading, seem like you can monitor your system with RKP with iphone but not controlling the outlets. Some one with RKP need to confirm this.

Ok, I've got the RKE which is with the NET module. I can monitor everything from anywhere. As is right now, I cannot make changes anywhere but at re tank. I contacted DA about it, There is a 2.0 firmware rat apparently allows for this. I don't have it... Yet. There is an Iphone app as well as an Android app, but nine for my much detested Blackberry. In order to monitor salinity you need the SL2 and a salinity probe. I don't have this yet either, but soon. This mod also gives you 2 extra switch pits and another temp (I'm going to use the extra temp and a type J thermocouple to tell me if my furnace is working! Lol). The email notifivations are super easy to set up. This is a big advantage. The Apex is apparently not very easy to set up. From what I've heard at least. Either way, the controllers are AWESOME to have for someone who spends time out of town.
