Profilux Mini WiFi
The Profilux unit I had was a Profilux II+. This unit needed to be upgraded with a pretty expensive and at this point almost obsolete, hard to find, expansion card as well as a separate WiFi card. Apart From those it also needed a new temp probe and PH probe. The cost was paramount to just getting a basic Mini WiFi unit. This is the the latest and greatest and included a new temp probe. It provides for basis parameter monitoring and control via controllable outlets. Some drawbacks are that it is supposed to act like a hotspot to connect to your phone and the GHL app. That means no online monitoring and adjustments. For that you will need to get the actual full Profilux head unit that comes with a cloud server and online access capabilities. I will add a few more picture later tomorrow.
Profilux Dosing Pump
This slave unit also needed to be updated as it used to be a dual motor setup that was now sadly reduced to 1 working motor head In desperate need of new rubber tubing. I found a 3 head SA unit that came with nib rubber hoses. Either I can use the SA unit as a slave or I can move the heads to the original slave unit to make it a 4 head doser.
Profilux power bar
The power bar offers me controllable outlets so naturally, Even though I currently have nothing control, I wanted to build on that.. I am still unclear if I have to plug things like the dosing pump into controllable outlets as well as the PAB connection (telephone looking plug connection).
Even though I was pretty excited about firing up my profilux and connecting all my things again. I was informed that one of the major differences between the Mini Wifi and the full head unit is the ability to communicate via PAB wich apparently stands for Profilux Aquatic Bus and allows for device communication. My Powerbar is only able to controlled by the full head unit. Took an L on that.
red lights = no bueno !
