Kessil Controller or WIFI dongle??

I use the controller and haven't had any issues. Wifi is just a cash grab

I have the controller at home and the dongle at work. I can honestly say I prefer the controller. Set it and never mess with it ever again. You can also control the 0-10v lights and if I needed to have a tank sitter do something then it is easier to have them use the controller.

Personally prefer the lack of another wire myself. But, if you want a controller just be sure to get the right one. The A360X uses the X controller, not the H.

Do anyone know if the lights will maintain the programming if the dongle is removed and attached to another light. I'm thinking about getting another light for a separate tank and would be fine having the same program but I don't want to have to but a second dongle if I can just move the one between tanks, they are in separate rooms so daisy chaining wouldn't be an option
