Description
What is it?
The all new Reef Nexus Integration Kit replaces your Photon Remote with a cloud based wireless app. This allows you to fully control your Photon V2 and V2+ via our Reef Nexus App on your iPhone or Android smartphone. Our app is intuitive, easy to use, and has far more advanced programming capabilities than the default controller. You can control your Photon V2 Pro using your smartphone from anywhere in the world- as long as you are connected to the internet.
The Reef Nexus Integration Kit replaces your current wifi chip, so you will no longer be using the included remote to control your light. All control functions will be handled via our Reef Nexus App.
How Does it Work?
The Photon Apex Interface includes everything you need to get started- all that is required is 2.4Ghz home network connected to the internet, and an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. Once you install the kit and connect your light to the internet, it is fully controlled via our Reef Nexus App.
Will this work with Multiple Photon V2/V2+ Lights?
Absolutely, however you will need one Reef Nexus Integration kit per Photon V2/V2+. Once each light has the Reef Nexus Integration kit installed, you can group them together in the app, or program them individually if they are on separate tanks.
Is my light Compatible?
Any of our Photon V2 or Photon V2+ lights can easily be upgraded to the V2 Pro. Legacy lights like the Photon V1, V1 W, SuperLux, and Value fixtures are not compatible. If you are unsure on your light model just reach out to us and a representative will help you determine your lights compatibility. If your light was purchased new anytime after January of 2016 there is a good chance it’s a V2. V2/V2+ Photon V2 and V2+ will have 6 control channels, and a wireless remote with an LCD screen.
What’s Included?
Every kit includes everything you need to connect to your 2.4GHz home network using your iPhone or Android device.
- Reef Nexus Integration circuit board
- New black powder-coated aluminum side-plate to fit the LED indicator and antenna (protrudes less than 1/4″ from the light- and is about the thickness of a credit-card)
