Pump/Filter/Skimmer Remote Control

[Alexraptor]

I was getting bored of having to crawl around yanking out power cords when target feeding my livestock, So I made a small investment in a set of wireless control sockets! And they work like a charm, just push a button and dump in the food!

 

​

Now the ones I bought are for the European market, but I'm sure there are similar things to be found in most places.

Just thought I'd share the idea.

Great idea.

I too hate crawling around and unplugging things, like when I do a water change.

Cool idea! I'm going to to to make something similar using a Belkin WEMO and NFTT

Get a DJ strip plug in everything and turn off things when you need to. http://www.amazon.com/American-Pc-100A-Mount-Power-Switcher/dp/B0002GL50Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1442094307&sr=8-1&keywords=dj+strip

Yes one can do that if one wants to.

But there's always merit to cheap and no-fuss solutions as well, just plug and play, no installation/mounting required.

 

Plus there's something to be said for waving a wand to calm the waters of your mini-ocean!

My stand is too small to mount that; the dimensions are all wrong.

 

I have one but mounting was impossible
