Why Buy a ProfiLux Controller

[The Grizz]

Guess I better add this to my list for the new P3 i am wanting to order soon.

So let me get this correct the only way Mac users can interface with the profilux is either through an emulator or via P3 yes?

Catherine, I have my profilux through my Mac via parallels. I have the remote app as well and can access it from work. I just set up my P3 now and am just starting to get everything set up and connected, but it seems to work just fine. Now I have just updated to parallels 8 and windows 8pro, they work very well together and so far I have not had much troubles getting things to work.

I'm fed up with DA's non-existant progress with certain RKE changes and am actively looking for another controller to run my new system, however I need mac compatibility without any hassle of having to rig something together to "sort of" make it work.

How easy was it for you to do all of what you mentioned above? Also do you work in IT or have a computer background? Back when I bought my RKE I passed over the profilux for two reasons; a) no mac compatibility and b) it seemed like a lot of early adopters had issues or struggled with set-up and some consistent running issues. Granted it seems like both these issues have been solved, but how well?

I like to think I've earned that position at the college..........
We're going to have to talk and plan a day when I can come out there. I haven't seen the new tank yet, let alone those fancy new lights of yours.

Well I'm a plumber by trade, so probably the furthest thing from a computer(IT) guy. A few months ago, I wouldn't have said the same thing. I first used parallels 7 and windows 8 with a P2. This was far from perfect, it worked but it was frustrating to get things to work properly. I had a lot of help from a few friends especially Jason(Subman), who also by the way uses a Mac.
When I switched to the P3 ex, I upgraded to parallels 8 and what a difference that made. Things run a lot smoother and the initial hook up with the P3 was almost too easy compared to the P2. Windows 8 and parallels 8 may be the key, as they seem to work hand in hand.
I'm just starting to get everything hooked back up, I only have my Eco blue pumps running at the moment, this in itself make the P3 worth it for me. As I can do pretty much anything with the DC pumps.
Let me know if you need anything else, or even talk to Jason, he's a little better at things like this. At any rate, I can throw a few current pics up if you want, just to give you an idea of what it looks like. Thanks,
Bob
