I think the par feature is more of a once in a while thing. the monitor can sit in your sump/overflow for most other measurements, at least in my mind. I could care less about what par is unless its time to change bulbs or am acclimating a coral and in those instances it would be easily moved.

On a side note i was just reading the website. looks pretty neat. you need to replace "slides" on it monthly. Wonder how much those run?

I read somewhere $8/month gets you replacement slides and access to their online service so you can remotely monitor your device.

Starting to look a little like the old ink jet printer manufacturer ploy, reel you in with cheap hardware and keep you coming back with proprietary expendables, actually better, add a subscription service for a guaranteed monthly income.

I would think that you would need to keep the unit fairly clean for it to accurately read par/lux values.....

You read my mind. A quick vinegar bath every few months would probably do the trick but people need to be aware that it needs to be done.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting! Seneye is definitely a cool tool by we'll have to see how it holds up against all the other systems out there. I think their big sticking point is going to be price. $180 is not expensive for what it can do but some of the entry level controllers are less than that. It does have some nifty features though... Time will tell. I think for hardcore nerds like ourselves it might not be everything we want or need, but if they listen well and ureters the product (while keeping it cheap) they may be onto something.
