That lighthouse pro controller that we saw at Macna has gotten a fresh revision to its firmware. 2.0 is now out and you can expect to have some bug fixes and new features. Although we haven’t had a chance to play with one of these yet on our tank, some users have reported that they really are happy with this pro controller. With all the competition from controller companies including Digital Aquatics, Aquatronica, Elos, GHL, and Neptune systems to name a few its amazing that all these companies can stay in business.  We haven’t seen any company completely corner the market…yet. Below you can read about the new firmware update to 2.0.

Bug Fixes:
1) Settings Web page had outlet numbers displayed wrong.
2) Cycle Timer Run Time and Contacts setup did not work correctly when set from the Setup Outlets Web page.
3) Various cosmetic issues in Outlet Setup, Set Options, and Alarms/Limits page.

New Features:
1) Feed Time, Maintenance Timeout, and Manual Timeout can now be specified up to 24 hours.
2) Minor performance enhancements in Web page download times, and IR remote keypress response.

    I had a (used) original Lighthouse device for a few months. Good basic unit, but programming was a bit too basic, the unit was not expandable and the box was pretty bulky. It was impossible to mount (like the Profilux), so I had to fabricate a shelf/bracket for it to sit on.

    The new Lighthouse Pro is obviously nicer in terms of expansion and options, but the box appears to have become even larger! For the $699 asking price, MCU Research should have separated the display from the chassis so users can mount the display to a wall or cabinet.

    Kudos to MCU Research for maintaining Ethernet as a standard feature.

    This is actually a interesting controller.

    I breifly looked at it, though I have to admit I wish
    I would have looked at it a little more seriously.

    It looks to be a nice unit.

    Looks interesting, though not as
    mainstream as I’d like it to be.
