Smart outlet for dosing?

[Sharkey18]

My apex is down. Not sure what the issue is.

Until I get it fixed, and as a general backup system, is anyone using a smart outlet (connected to Alexa) to control dosing?

Yep. Kasa smart powerstrips or outlets.

Some people using it. As long as it is temporary you would be ok. There are limitations of them you can end up overdosing

 

[Saltyreef]

Limitations yes, and everything fails sooner or later but they shouldnt be considered temporary by any means.....
Its what i use to control my reef and it works phenomenally.

Yes, everything fails. For some reason I can't get my apex back on line. I need to have a backup for every system. I'll go back to testing daily and I'm putting a temp alarm on also. Thanks!
