1LINK Easy, one-click installation
The WAV is the first of a line of aquarium products from Neptune
Systems that will use a completely new interface. While many in the
aquarium world continue to embrace wireless technologies for inter connectivity, we have decided to go the other direction - a wire.
Wireless connectivity from your smartphone or tablet to your Apex (or
other controller) is completely logical - and we embrace that. However,
wireless used for the interconnecting of devices within the confines of
common aquariums (that are mostly less than 6′ long) is not only
unnecessary, but it reduces reliability. Our philosophy is that when
distances are measured in a few feet, wireless is a solution looking for
a problem. And ironically, wireless really does not save wires. You
still need to use a wire to get power to the devices anyway. And let's
not forget configuration - wireless devices require syncing, endless
button presses and arcane steps to get them to connect up - hopefully
with you and not your neighbor. Finally for all this benefit, you as
the consumer get the added cost of this wireless technology that must be
baked into the price of every device you buy.
So after much study of the problem, our answer is 1LINK. It is called
1LINK because there is one power supply, one module (for up to three
1LINK devices), and a one-click-connection of a wire that carries not
only the power for the device, but two-way communication from it to your
Apex. Setup is simply click and go.
Less wires, less configuration headaches, and best of all, less cost to you as a consumer!
