manueldm Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 In the package, you get the lighting controller (which is the base unit of the controller system), power supply, 3 x control cables, and a user guide. Will the PowerPWM accessory be available at the product launch? If it is not included in the package how much will it be? Link to comment
Elrato Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 this looks pretty cool, i will have to look into more when im not at work - following along Link to comment
SpencerShepard Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Will the PowerPWM accessory be available at the product launch? If it is not included in the package how much will it be? Yes it will be available at launch, in at least the DIY version. The plug-and-play version with the case will hopefully be available at launch, but if not shortly after. The DIY version is an easy to solder kit, but I can put it together for you if needed. Pricing isn't available yet, but we're aiming for cheap. Link to comment
kraig949 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Taking pre orders yet. I want one for my nano box duo 1 Link to comment
D Z Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Are you still planning on doing some kind of discounted pre-order? Any details yet on what that discount might be? Also, I know you are busy getting ready to release the controller, but I really would like to know how much the sensor node and power bar are going to be so that I can compare overall cost with an Apex before I go spending $179 on the LED controller. Don't get me wrong, I really think your product is going to be superior to anything else that is on the market, including the Apex. I'm just really hoping that doesn't mean that it will cost significantly more than anything else that is on the market. Do you think you will be able to release this information before the LED controller goes up for pre-order? One more thing, and maybe I missed this, but a video of the android app controlling the lights in real time would be a great teaser that would probably get all of us drooling even more....maybe even a little bit of lightning/thunder action to go along with it.....hint hint Oh and by the way, I didn't put 2 and 2 together until now, but you guys are the ones that did "Don's High Tech Reef". That build is absolutely amazing!!! For anyone who has not seen it yet, check it out. I think it was on reef builders a while back. 1 Link to comment

Do you think you will be able to release this information before the LED controller goes up for pre-order? Sorry, we won't have pricing info on the powerbar or sensor node before launch. However, the goal is to remain competitive pricing-wise with the other options on the market.

--Mark-- Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Not long to go! When is the preorder discount going to happen and how much will it be? Link to comment
Alex B Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I have a custom fixture on order with Dave. My build is still a couple weeks out but I wanted to get some info. Along with a power bar what else will the controller be able to do? PH, temp, ato, ect? I don't know if it was already discussed but was just wondering. Thanks! Link to comment
SpencerShepard Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Not long to go! When is the preorder discount going to happen and how much will it be? Sorry I can't say right now. Just make sure you're subscribed to our mailing list. I have a custom fixture on order with Dave. My build is still a couple weeks out but I wanted to get some info. Along with a power bar what else will the controller be able to do? PH, temp, ato, ect? I don't know if it was already discussed but was just wondering. Thanks! We have a powerbar and sensor module for pH, temp, ORP, salinity, level sensors etc in the works along with a couple other interesting goodies. However, these are still a ways off. Link to comment

davidr2340 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Another question... Can the Bluefish control this fixture? Evergrow Nova A4 Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 As long as they are controllable via 5v PWM, 10v PWM, or 0-10v analog, then yes. 1 Link to comment
johnnye Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm assuming it is running Linux. Will the source code be published? Any chance of user built scripts? Link to comment
SpencerShepard Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Another question... Can the Bluefish control this fixture? Evergrow Nova A4 It doesn't look like it would be easy. Try contacting the manufacturer and see if it can be controller with 0-10V or PWM. Also I hope there will be a uk version of the powerbar and controller? The controller will be available in an international version with power supply options for UK, EU, and Australia at launch or very shortly after launch of the North American version. The goal is for power bars with similar configurations. I'm assuming it is running Linux. Will the source code be published? Any chance of user built scripts? It's not. We won't be publishing the source code. However, we would love to include the ability to run user scripts. It's something I will be working on in the future. 4 Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 It doesn't look like it would be easy. Try contacting the manufacturer and see if it can be controller with 0-10V or PWM. The drivers they use in Evergrow fixtures are resistance dimming only. 1 Link to comment

Reefporn Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Okay, so I found the app for android! Looks like it was just added yesterday but I can't login to check it out yet. And your site let me add the controller and proceed to checkout but there's no shipping option available. Getting close to launch, huh? Link to comment
