Custom Break Out Boxes

[Joshua Mummery]

Who here has done or knows someone who makes custom break out boxes? I have seen a few on facebook that have toggle switches, push buttons, custom buttons with fish logo, big red emergency stop buttons all enclosed in acrylic or 3d printed.

I think and found these to be great do to the fact if your internet is down or Apex is off line or if the controller is inaccessible you still can initiate feed more, all off tank maintenance, etc

I think I may be the person you saw on FB, lol. I make quite a few- since you mentioned the Emergency-Stop, almost certain it was my post.

Yeah they're commonly used for feed modes, to turn on lighting for X amount of time, to shut things off for water changes, etc.

The internet aspect you mentioned is true, and also, you don't need to grab your smartphone when your hands are wet or stink of Mysis!

One design I particularly like is this terminal/toggle box hybrid.
