Oh My God!! This is exaqctly why I wanted a controller in the first place!!


OK... how do you have control over your feeder? I've been trying to figure out a way to do that. What kind of feeder? Also... how do you have the camera set up? I would LOVE this! Only down side to the camera is that I love coming home after 4 days at work and looking for new gowth... camera might ruin that! lol

I used Rena feeder where it will rotate the drum when on. So I turn off then on to make it rotate. I used a network camera and there is iPhone app to control it

Still up in the air on what brand I want to go with, keep the experience with your controller's flowing every bit of info will help us all.

I will respond to all the input as soon as I get some of the new goodies I picked up in Calgary in my tank.

Thanks to one and all for your input, much appreciated.

Tai, you have the feeder plugged into the power outlets that are controlled by your APEX and when you want to feed the controller turns the power on, drum turns and then the controller turn off the power. Is that how it works??
