Looking at getting this controller, can I have some real world reviews from you guys???? Could be as simple as good or bad. Thanks!

it's been good. I love it. I haven't had any issues at all.

There was a few bugs like the first week or two, but i think all that's been long since solved. My experience has been really solid. I just followed the directions for setting it up, updated all the firmware and whatnot, and it's been good from the start.

I've done all sorts of stuff with it so far, i have a door switch that turns on lights under my sump, i have 4 optical and 4 float sensors making 4 redundant pairs of water level sensors, i have a feed button that when pressed turns off my pumps for 20 minutes for feeding. i'm going to be doing an ATO as well using all my sensors and the PMUP, which i bought but haven't used yet.

i've been enjoying it so much so that I might have just bought a 2nd one for my cube...

any questions you have in particular?

I agree, I love it. With fusion it is very easy to program.

Glad to hear you guys are have a good experience with it. The initial issues it had is what's made me hesitant but as you mentioned it seems like they have all been resolved

Mine just came in the mail today from BRS. Glad to see others are enjoying it. Looked like mixed reviews online when it first came out, but users seem satisfied since bugs have been worked out.

Just set mine up today and while it's really cool, I'm still not sure it's cool enough to justify the price.

Perhaps when I'm able to install the module for my MP10...
