I know there have been many threads covering everyone's system controllers of choice. I thought it would be beneficial to members, new and old, who are looking to incorporate controllers in their systems to have one thread that would cover members choices and the Pros/Cons of each system.
----------
I just recently upgraded the controller on my CadLights 70G Artisan II from a DigitalAquatics RKE to a Neptune APEX Gold Classic. The DA RKE was a very robust system that controlled all functions of my system. Reliable and straight forward in programming.
I wanted to take my game to the next level and now have a Neptune APEX. I wanted the ability to remotely monitor and manipulate system functions not available with the RKE. I've added a WXM that has given me excellent control of my Radions and Vortech equipment and the ALD module to receive water leak alarms. I also enjoy the capability to automate my system to react to alarms by manipulating equipment effected by such alarms. I now feel more comfortable about leaving the house for extended periods and having the capability to trend data from changes I make to my system.
That's me, how about you?
