WiFi controller for Evergrow / Semigrow / Reef Breeders Photon Light

Hi!! great job mate. I am from Spain, how can I buy a PCB? The one on my evergrow it 5040 is failing.
 
Has anyone manages to Buy either contollers ?

My Evergrow controller fell into the tank and turned the lights off and now I cannot turn them back on so might aswell up grade whilst I'm here,but like others I cannot find the message button
 
I need one of these if you are still doing them? Can’t see where to send you a message though
 
Ok so after my reefpi light controller being a success and having much interest ive started working on a v2.
It will mainly be the same with some improvements to the pcb design. Quite a few lights have been converted now.

However i am open to ideas on improvements, Is there anything you would like to see added? I thought about adding some more Solder pads to be able to use some more reef-pi features.

What do you think? Ideas?
 
hello,

Still available to buy ? do you share pcb layout and schematics? I have a IT5080 it seems compatible
how to contact you , i didn't find how to send you direct message thru this forum

Hello, my name is Oleg.

I want to introduce you a new WiFi controller for very popular aquarium lights. This light has different names: Evergrow / Semigrow / Reef Breeders Photon. This is a very interesting and pretty popular light in the world. But I found one big minus it doesn't allow to controll by WiFi.
So, I developed my own controller which based on ESP32 chip. And developed a software for it. You can easily replace the original contoller to new WiFi controller and it takes maximum 10 minutes and 5 minuter to setup WiFi connection (enter router name and password).

It works on any devices: Desktop/Laptop/Android/iPhone/iPad and etc. Everywhere where you have Chrome browser (it works on other browsers, but I prefer to use Chrome).

I assemble and develop the software my self. Now the controller allows you to:
1. Manage light scheduler. Add a point to any time and setup any channel power (percents). Edit a point. Delete a point. Copy a point to other time. You can add up to 24 points.
2. Setup acclimatization: start date and start percents and finish date and finish percents. Acclimatization will increase brightness every hour automatically.
3. It allows to save a schedule to schedule library. Export any schedule from your libraly to file. Import any schedule from file. Share schedules with your friends. You can apply any schedule from library.
4. It allows to very fast turn any light preset. For instance, you like to watch the aquarium at night. You can easily to turn the preset on and the light will turn RoyalBlue on 1% and Violet to 0.5%. After watching you switch the light to schedule mode. Or it automatically move to schedule mode after 1-2-3-5-15-60 minutes (configurable).
5. Allows to upgrade by air. As I said, I am developing the software my self and sometimes guys wants to havea new feature, they tell me, I implement it and they can upgrade the software without USB. (Honestlly, sometimes need to connect it via USB, but very rare, on with critical updates).
6. The controller allows to work in cluster mode. So, if you have more then one light then the controller found other controllers and if you do any changes in one controller then it share changes to other controllers in a cluster. If you have two aquariums then you can create two clusters and they will be independent between each other.
