ReefKeeper Lite and NET module will soon work together?
6 Leave a comment
We’ve heard rumors and rumblings within the industry about Digital Aquatics Reef Keeper lite. Apparently there is a firmware update in the works or already complete that will allow the Reef Keeper lite to connect to the internet by means of a module of some kind. What this means is that while the Reef Keeper Elite was the only controller that Digital Aquatics provided that connected to the internet, the lower cost Reef Keeper lite will inherit this functionality. If the rumors go as planned we should see this in about 2 months. Keep those fingers crossed.
This is very exciting new for RKL owners. I never thought that RKL would get net connected. How cool that they will soon see some functionality that they never expected.

I think it’s awesome. A solid entry level controller that won’t break the bank with expandability and the options like a net modules making it a great building block to get you into the controller market without sacrificing performance or your reefing budget.

Its a good move considering the coming of the Apex Lite…
I am not a believer in “crippleware” marketing, so I am glad to see DA come to its senses.

@rroselavy, this is nothing like you’re implying!
This was an advancement in our firmware that wasn’t possible before based on the older communication setup. This is a major update that required a LOT of hard work on this end. What made this possible was the continued development for the myReef project and some of the advancements that came from that.

@Digital Aquatics
Thanks for the response. It seems as if I was oversimplifying things. My bad.
