help needed - looking to buy a controller with sim msg option

dragonfish · Feb 10, 2015

Hi, I'm going to be in the states soon and I'm looking to buy a controller that does a few basic things like:

1. Alert me if the level of water changes (water level switch - I need at least 2 switches)
2. PH change
3. Temp change
4. Electricity fail
5. Water spill
6. Message me by email and sms message, I need it to have a sim so that if their is a power outage it can still send me a message

Plus I will need for it to work on 110v-220v since the network here is 220. What's the best option in the market.
thanks

I have a reef keeper elite/net, the only thing that I don't think it has the capabilities to do is the water on the floor sensors. I know for sure that Apex has that capability on their model.
Anyone of these units are amazing, and you can pretty much expand it to control just about anything you want.

Neptune, Apex

Can do all this, by adding some added options all is achieved.

Check out the Puratek Insight 24/7 too. I know it does everything you mention. I'm not sure about the sim question (mostly not sure I'm understanding what you're wanting it to do there...my own ignorance...), but the guys at Puratek could help you know if it would do that.

So, Digital Aquatics is releasing their Archon controller this month. it can do everything you specify here except the Sim part I am guessing you want it to work on a cellular service to send you a message in the event the internet and power is out. I dont know of a controller that can do that currently, but if you implement a battery backup on both your internet devices and part of your controller system, you can then have it message you that the power has failed. There are switches and water sensors available that can hook to the Archon that can do everything else you want.
