Probes: I can't promise, these probes are still too expensive for permanent measurement. The technical side is not the problem. ProfiLux is ready for probes of any kind.

Thank you!

I also have another question, can I use the controller to completely automate my water changes once or twice a week? For example, I use two optical sensors (max and min). Then can I use the controller to open a solenoid valve and at the same time a water pump which will drain the tank (this will be at a set time, like 9 am). Then it shuts both of them off when it reaches my desired low point (min sensor). Then it turns on the return-line solenoid valve to fill up to max level sensor. Can it do this automatically?

And do you know when you will have the plug-in dimmer module so I don't have to throw away my ballasts and buy dimmer ballasts?

Thanks. But is there a risk the optical sensor can fail (for example, piece of debris covers it or algae) and then overflow the tank?

Hello Matthias, I am not able to connect via wireless connection, only via cable. I have read all the instructions everyone has provided and I am really confused about what I am doing! Will it be any easier to get a wireless connection with version 3.03 or maybe you have some very clear and easy step by step instructions that are not so confusing to follow.

Many thanks...

I know step by step instructions are on the way.

But in 10 days I will be in canada and my first Job (GHL wise) will be to set up wireless on our test/demo unit.

Ok so why am i telling you this? Well I know as much about networks as i do about brain surgery, so my method is to learn the hard way, write everything down and then publish how i did it on here for you guys, and I hope from that I may unravel some of the answers. BUT I do know Matthias is also working very hard on making the whole WLAN set up more straightforward also.

WISH ME LUCK!

Good Luck!! I wish you better success than I have had!

Hi all,

I also just bought the ProfiLux Plus II and trying to set up the WLAN connection to my PC and no success.

How do I start? and where can I look for my IP address?
This controller seem to be very difficulty to set up compare tothe others.

Thanks for any help.

Until version 3.3 is launched I think it requires an elelment of good IT knowledge but the new releases due very soon will make it so much easier.

One thing to note and I think this statement is very accurate and also shows a level of care from the manufacturers. matthias has not yet failed in getting one single client connected as far as i am aware. If you want help in getting up and running please either contact me at support@ghl-profilux.com or contact Matthias directly, to be honest at present Matthias will be your best bet, he wil baby step you through it im sure
