You can program so that the light auto shut off if temp is too high. Thing that i like to do over network is
1) Feed and watch my fish when i am away. I have a camera in front of my tank and i can control my feeder :-)
2) If i forgot to turn off something when i left the house, i can still do it when i am away from home
3) It works like a TV remote control. I can control the outlets without has to go near the tank, I can use the Apex display but I found iphone UI app is much easier to use
4) Also, not happen to me yet but what if one day you are out of town and get a phone call from your wife saying" water is on the floor" because a snail got into the return line . I would want to able to shut off just the return pump remotely and leave powerhead on. I am sure most of our wives would not know which power to unplug :-)
