I hear you. But at 100 dollars for the current controller, plus 3 link cables at 20 bucks (60 bucks total), plus the new wifi module to add to the controller. Probably around 100 but i'll say 50 for arguments sake. That's another 210 dollars to get your lights to function like any other modern LED.
On a bigger tank I could see this strategy making a lot of sense,but on a smaller tank 1 or 2 maybe even 3 lights that extra 200 bucks is half the price of a whole light.
It just seems like with current level technology having a built in wifi module to each unit would cost much less to us and to them.
But they pay people to come up with this stuff so I must be wrong.
You wouldn’t need the new controller if you decided to use WiFi and an app to control the lights. Not sure how it will Work controlling multiple lights. May be cost effective to use a pink cable unless the WiFi adapter is reasonably priced.
