Well, it is a monitor, so you can't do a plug-n-play controller... it's not designed for that.

But the signals that board is sending to the computer are very simple. I could easily write a LabView or Processing script to piggyback off of their system to run an 8 channel controller that would cost nothing to build... and I would actually have more control options. This could easily be the first "hackable" reef keeping product.
