Here answers on some questions i have been asked via PM:
"I'm assuming the easiest way for the connection to be made over the internet would be to install the Profilux Control & the redirector on the computer you are using (away from home) and then just make sure your router at home is setup to allow outside traffic to reach your Profilux?
Another option would be remote control software to use your computer at home to access the profilux... but this would require you to leave your computer at home on at all times. "
- Absolutely correct
" Is there any other way to do it, that I'm not thinking about?"
- I don't think so
"Are you interested or considering developing a web interface for the Profilux? I think it would be very beneficial and satisfy the wants of a lot of customers.. atleast in the North American crowd. (not sure about the european crowd)"
- Yes, it is possible to program a specific web interface (eg using cgi), at the moment we just have not enough time to do this because of developing a lot of other stuff. But it will come.
"Questions on tunze controls.. The tunze multicontroller has a setting that allows you to run 1 pump on a steady flowrate and the other on a flucuating flow rate and then at a set interval time they switch roles. Eg. Current Pump 1: 30%, Current Pump 2: 30%-100%, Switch Interval (X)hours. Would it be possible to include this control program into the Profilux? The best reason for this is you never have 1 pump turned completely off, and this helps greatly with reduced buildup and cleaning of pump internals."
- Of course you can. You must see we have waves (the percentages, eg Min 30% Max 100%) and ebb-tide (on/off, on means oscillating between Min and Max, but off doesn't mean a completely shutdown but remaining at the Min). I think i explained it very detailled in the manual.
"I also noticed that you mentioned to set the pump voltages from 3v-8v, is there any reason not to set them from 1v-12v ?"
- We measured the output of the original controllers. They have a voltage swing of about 3..8V
