Kessil Wifi Dongle - Setup and Usage!

I've been running Kessil A360X since the day they were released in Australia, but it took Kessil a fair while to deliver the promised Wifi Dongle to suit the X series of lights.
Once it actually hit our shores, I was well setup and established with the Spectral Controller X, that there was really no need to throw it away just for wifi convenience.
But then my LFS picked one up for store use and asked if I wanted to review it, so of course I said YES!
Check out this super quick unboxing, setup and review of the Kessil Wifi Dongle!

Nice little add on! Makes those more budget friendly light way more versatile

Yeah it’s not bad, personally I think I prefer the controller myself. If this dongle was under $100 it’d be a no brainier - but at this price it’s a harder question

Parkers Reef very true I love my hydra though

This should be included with the light right out of the box, no dongle needed. I wonder how many of those go for a dip in the tank.

Hey! Hmm ok, I haven't had the dongle for quite some time - but usually with these things it is to do with 2.4ghz network being required rather than 5ghz. Make sure your router is broadcasting two different SSID's for the different networks

WiFi dongle is great if you don’t want to mix older kessils with it or the spectral controller x is best :)

Yeah I tend to prefer the physical controller. It’s cheaper, does 0-10v lights too and is easy to use. But hey, each to their own :)

Unrelated to the video. I'm looking to start up a small reef tank just to learn the ropes. Would you recommend the Waterbox 20 (have watched all your videos from the Idiot Proof Reef tank =D ) or the Aqua One mini reef 90? The Aqua One comes with a sump (quite familiar in terms of working with one because I have one on my 6 foot cichlids set up) which is nice because I can have a larger protein skimmer, more media etc. But do you think a sump is really necessary for a tank this size?? Aqua One might also work out cheaper because it comes with a heater, pump and protein skimmer. Great videos!

@ParkersReef 4 жыл бұрын

If you have space for the mini reef, I’d go that way. Sump is always a good option. Also, check out the new aqua one reef sys. They are great units that don’t come with the poor quality equipment that you end up throwing out (which in turn makes them cheaper)

@@ParkersReefChecked them out, smallest size is 180L which is a bit too big for what I'm looking for. Ideally, just want something small to get started with and then upgrade to a good sized and better quality tank in about a year and then convert the current one to quarantine. Heading to my LFS over the weekend, leaning towards the aqua one reef 90 at the moment unless I get convinced otherwise in store

Would each light need one or will one do multiple lights

@ParkersReef 4 жыл бұрын

One will do heaps of lights, but you do need to connect the lights via their usb wire and then you can control them all wirelessly

@@ParkersReef okay I thought each light might of had to have one I don't think its really important to have one with kessil lights because they can still be used without it I've always wanted to try one of there lights I did consider getting one and using it as a fuge light but I have yet to setup one

where are you getting stuck? I prefer the hardwired controller myself (mainly because it feels like better value to me) but the WiFi dongle should work just fine?
