I see a Reefbreeders app for photon control now available on the Android play store... Is this the official app?

I think it's been removed from the app store now, probably was a mistake. It's actually installed on my phone but I don't want to try it out if it's not finalized.

I don't think it would work anyway without the add on board like what you would need for apex control.

@Reef Breeders is the app coming back?

It's in beta testing now, we will expand our beta tester group soon. You need additional hardware to use the app.

Correct, we will be offering an upgrade kit when the software portion is complete.

Looks like the app is back. Are the V2+s supported straight away or is more hardware needed?

That app doesn't seem to be from reefbreeders. It seems to be from fishbit but that company seems to be making a controller I'm following them

More hardware is needed. An upgrade kit is required. 2nd round of Beta testing is in full swing

Looking to purchase the 48. How is the app coming along ? Would the add on for it be on your website ? I seen a chip board on there would this be the add on or something different ? Looking to buy as soon as they come back in stock. Would it control the pumps also

Release timeframe depends on our distribution channels at this time, no exact date just yet. The app is live on the Apple and soon Google store, however the hardware you need to use the app is not yet released.

The pumps and lumenbars are not in the app- yet. However there are plans to add them in with additional hardware required as well.

Once the app is finalized, will the hardware come included with new lights, or will it still be separate feature that you have to pay extra for?

Good question !

There will be a few options. The V2+ as it is now, and an upgraded version with the app hardware installed. The upgrade kit will also be available for current lights.

Yay lights are now in stock !!!!
Just ordered my V2 48 excited.
Can't wait for the app to come out.
BRS does not carry the tank mount hangers hopefully i can mod what I have now. Any advice would be great
