I have an aquatronica setup. Its hooked up to my computer with the serial interface. I then use a website (logmein.com) to access my computer and monitor it. I can do this via my phone or any computer.

I had to dig through a pile of dead computers to find one with a serial port! I have to get the lan card on my profilux working, that reef status program is perfect for what I want.

Ive heard of an iPhone app that can be used with Neptune's aquanotes software. From my understanding it has to be the full program, the lite will not do. I just picked up an Jr today, after I figure it out a little I was going to try the iPhone app out. Ill let you know

i think aquatronica and profilux offer this action via a sms hub but not sure if it will be compatable with blackberry etc

Melev over at RC uses his iPhone in conjunction with the Aquanotes app. and his controller, Neptune?, to monitor his system.

The RKE and I think the cheaper version of the RKE-Lite, both come with NET modules which allows distance monitoring via the internet.

I'm also a Blackberry user, Storm, however there are 0 apps out there for me that relate so I do everything via the internet.

There is software available that will allow a USB connection to emulate a serial port. Sorry I don't have a link to offer right now, but a quick search should yield a number of results fairly quickly, the one I use is freeware.
