Alright. I'm looking for some real world info here about tank automation. I just read Serk's bit about Linux and X-10, many of you use Aquacontrollers, etc. For the record, I don't follow RC because it's just too much and I don't have the time. It wouldn't bother me at all if somebody posted links to related info instead of typing it out.
I keep hearing about electronic ballasts interfering with X-10 modules. Is this always true? Ways around it?
Anyone in the club using a Lighthouse Controller?
I want to automate my tank thoroughly and know that a controller is in my future. Web integration is very high on my list. I have an IP camera pointed at my tank that would tie in with it nicely. The ACIII controller is up there in features and price.
There are tons of DIY'ers out there like me and I'm hoping that some home grown solutions might be just as workable.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
