Hello , I have GHL profilux 4 + KH director + slave dosing pump .

I am looking for idea and inspiration for costume bulid cabinet control.

Adaptive reef can't send complete unit to my country unfortunately .

Show me your cabinet control, especially with GHL products
 
Since you have GHL your in for a treat. Ditch the power bars and go with powerhubs that mount to DIN rails. Purchase din rail power supplies and ditch all those terrible power bricks. Control as much as you can via 0-10v and hide all those nasty OEM controllers.

Something like this?

Hi - Late to the party. I built this a LONG time ago - but never finished by DIY automation project. Piles of electronics, put away (likely forever).

Features -

18 Outputs divided across 6 GFCI Circuits.
Each Output has its own dedicated circuit breaker (1A - 5A depending on device)
Each Output has an HOA switch allowing Hand (ON) - - Off -- Automatic (Controlled by Relay)
Each Output has a power and control indicator LED
Each GFCI has a status Indicator

I also built a current sensing board for each of the 18 outputs, but never installed it.

The left side (not shown) has two circular bulkhead connector - 1 for 12V logic for the relays and 1 for 0-10V out for current sense of each channel (Not installed).

Each of the 18 120V outputs exists the box via a waterproof circular aircraft connector. Custom cord whips are made for each device.

I just purchased a Profilux 4 and am going to use it to control this box.

There are no PowerHubs available. They say March, but I have my doubts. I could use S-port relays, but I would need to swap out all of the tyco 24V relays for 12V versions. PAB PowerHub seems safer (isolated from P4 main board) and easier (if not more expensive).

I heard they discontinued the hubs. Unfortunate, only reason I kept using GHL (for now.)

This is the front side of the panel, there is another mounted on the back that controls lighting and partial heating on another circuit.
