Ratings and reviews

I have had Aquascape products for over 5 years. The pond pump controller recently burned out due to a water leak, so I replaced it with a newer generation controller. The written and online instructions were not that great. Several key steps were missing. When trying to connect the controller to wifi, there is a timeout of about 30 seconds after which you need to do a double reset of the controller. Also, there is a cable retainer with no instructions for its use.

Pairing absolutely does not correspond to the manual. When you plug it in it will go into pairing mode as the blue light on the top left will show. Tell it which Wi-Fi to get on as you add a device and it will work. You may have to fiddle with it whether the switch is in the 1 or 0 position as well as non-intuitive pairing with your phone.

The app is generally very good. No connection issues and the reporting is nothing fancy, but is exactly what's needed. Unfortunately, from seeing all of the marketing on 'Works with Alexa and Google' I presumed that a smart thermometer would be compatible in the way of allowing me to see the temperature and even trigger automations using it within Google Home. Unfortunately not. Hopefully this will be developed soon!
