    I am looking at getting one. They are pretty sweet if you look at the manufacturer's site.

    -You can control light timing with daylights & moonlights to represent real time light with day light savings time & the moons' phases too.

    -You can set equipment to turn off & back on for a certain time to do WC(if you want)

    -Control probes for temp, ORP, Ph, etc.

    -battery back-up to keep up with set time/date to restart when power turns back on(not to work during power outages)

    ...there's a lot of different things it will do.

    Well it doesn't come with software to do soone. But I know where you can get it. this works wirelessly. I haven't used it, but the guy who made it & did all the coding shows it working on his pc & cell. Also, there's a Google sidebar button thing, whatever you call it. lol

    One sec. I've gotta find the link I had to it..

    Here it is, below.

    I have an AC Jr and love it. I have a temp and pH probe and control 8 outlets.

    1) controlling a few more plugs would be nice.
    2) user interface requires getting used to...

    For the price it is a great deal.
