GHL Profilux Mini Wi-Fi

[Gaspipe]

I just looked it up to confirm, it does not include the sensors. I also think at $380 that's a bit $$ for a one trick pony. I have time and seems AutoAqua is coming out with a new product, Hydor is going to announce their AWC and kamoer x2s is new to mkt as well. Anyway time will tell.

Happy holidays!

I’m looking at the maxi doser for awc but would be using the child version since I can use level sensors from the P4 whenever I get that. You could get the stand alone version of the maxi doser and I believe it would include a level sensor. I have the 2.1 stand alone doser and it has a level sensor and I split it and have it connected to two optical sensors

@ingchr1 Thanks for all your input on this. I was wondering what do you use this for? I too have a nano and don't want to invest in a larger GHL or Apex

Some of the tasks/features I would like are:
1. Temp control
2. Turn lights on/off
3. ATO
4. AWC
5. PH monitoring
6. Auto feeder

I use it for temperature control, monitoring and maintenance/feed mode convenience. My ATO controls itself along with the lights. I have nothing else on this tank.

My full P4 system is setup essentially the same. I'm not a fan of having all my eggs in one basket.

@Max_nano Thanks for the quick reply. That's a shame! I can not be the only one that thinks there must be a huge market for nano/AIO tank owners who want some control/automation without the need to invest in very expensive and/or large systems.

I would be 100% happy with an inkbird as a 2nd layer of protection and an AutoAqua that had Smart ATO, RO & AWC. A wifi smart power strip to turn on/off lights, return pump, powerheads.

Have you looked into the Hydros Control 2 or 4? If I were in the market it would be on my list for consideration. The one item that concerns me with it are the WiFi powerstrips. If they loose WiFi for whatever reason the outlets fail in their current state, a failure mode one needs to be aware of. Like with the Profilux Mini, its outlets all fail off if communication is lost from the controller. Also the long term reliability of the Hydros powerstrips has yet to be demonstrated as the system just came out.

I actually am interested in that as well. Seems their 2 would be just enough to do AWC. The strips have a setting and you pick how it turn back on. You can set it to the schedule task.

Hydros said they are making an AWC feature.

This controller and its price point are a game changer...

I have this unit and while I like it for having a fair number of options I have a couple of issues.
1) The MyGHL cloud connection get's dropped. I am not sure why. Not being able to get push notifications and see tank measurements away from home is a bummer.
2) I don't think they are investing in this product at all. I'm not holding my breath for charting / level sensors / automatic feeder.

Hopefully I can figure out how to make this more stable.
