For anyone using the Robo tank controller or any reef pi controller for that matter what do you think about it?

Reading through everything the Robo tank seems very simple to use at less then half the price of other controllers.

I will be monitoring temp, ph, skimmer level and water level for ATO.

I will use it to run my skimmer, heaters, kalk dosing, ATO maybe other dosing.

Return pump, wavemakers and lighting will be on their own controllers atleast for now.

Please let me know what you think good and bad. Thanks!
 
I have not used any robo tank controller but I am using hydros and reef pi controllers.
If you are good at DIY, reef pi is the way to go. It's the most affordable and versatile controller.

I’m pretty good with DIY just not great with computer stuff but buying the Robo tank controller seems to take out some of that out of it. Plugging sensors and equipment into the Robo tank controller and setting it on up his app seems just as easy as any controller on the market.
 
Programming for reef pi is not that counter intuitive. I am local if you ever need help with reefpi.
