Ecotech Controller

[christianleo]

Does anyone think Ecotech will come out with their own controller?

Given they just released möbius which is an app based control system, I’d tend to doubt a physical controller is imminent. I suppose things like the versa need some way to get feedback from the tank so perhaps some modules will be coming.

I think it is coming, but when....who knows. I have heard the Versa was over 5 years in R&D etc. so I would assume that a controlle royals be at least 5 years and who knows if it’s in the works. They are usually tight lipped on this type of thing.

I downloaded the möbius app and can't get my MP40WQD to show up. I don't have a reef link so wonder if I need that for the app to work.

Mobius currently only works with the new Versa dosing pumps. They will slowly update the app to allow it to control other equipment. But for now it only works for the Versa.

The future is going be smart devices connected to online control. This should be lower cost and not require a local controller that requires updates and support. Plus cloud access (although some provided already) will be the norm. I think this is some of what EcoTech was trying to do with ReefLink. But wireless/bluetooth is now ubiquitous and with all the smart products out there (outlets, thermostats, doorbells, cameras, etc) I don't see why that won't easily transfer to aquarium control.
