Aquarium Tech: iPads, Touchscreens and Monitors OH MY!

[Tastee]

how did you do that?

Neptune Apex supports Alexa out of the box. You can activate feed modes, control physical and virtual outlets and get status updates. I regularly use the following:

Alexa, tell Apex Fusion to feed the fish - this starts feed mode A
Alexa, tell Apex Fusion to start cleaning mode - this starts feed mode C
Alexa, tell Apex Fusion to stop cleaning mode - manually turns feed mode C off
Alexa, tell Apex Fusion to turn the return pump off - turns the outlet named return pump off
Alexa, tell Apex Fusion to turn the return pump to auto

Etc.

Very convenient for daily chores like feeding and especially when you hands are wet during maintenance.

This is fantastic to know, I’ll definitely be using the technology as I setup my new 365G system.
