First, a salute to all the forum ...
I'm new and I'm writing from Italy (thanks to Google Translate). I would
interested in your products, but I do not know what is necessary for my
tropical freshwater aquarium.
Capacity: 200 liters
2 external filter (Pratiko Askoll, Eheim ECCO)
An aerator
A heater from the bottom (Hydor)
An outdoor heater (Hydor)
2 lamps (30W T8 - connected with Visi-Lux)
5W UV lamp outside Aqua Medic
Fish: Corydoras, ancystrus, Caridina, Acathophthalmus, Lebistes, platy,
Cardinal ...
I want to receive e-mail or SMS alert for temperature.
And I want (if possible), turn on the lights, turn
aerator, if necessary.
Now the aerator and the lights on the timer.

There are two possibilities:
-ProfiLux Plus II + 1-2 socket bars + SMS-module
Here the PC-Software Profilux Control and your PC have to be running permanently to send E-Mails.

-ProfiLux 3 + 1-2 socket bars + SMS-module
Due to the built-in webserver in ProfiLux 3, here you don't need the PC and ProfiLuxControl to be switched on.

You can either switch your light by a socket (timer) or rebuilt your lamp into a dimmable one. Then it can be
dimmed directly via a 1-10V-interface at the Profilux.

in ProfiLux 3, here you don't need the PC and ProfiLuxControl to be
switched on.

If I can live with the email, do not need the sms module (very expensive). The
Profilux 3, is able to send email through the LAN, right?
This is the link of Profilux III:

What do you mean socket bars? Can you get a link?

Now I'm waiting for the lamps. I'm happy with what I have.

Profilux 3 can idd send email directly from its lan port (once configured) , the sms module has the added value that it can send an sms when there is powercut (battery in the sms module)
while you can't recieve email when there is a powercut, since the P3 has no power to send the email :)))

socketbars are elektrical plugs you can steer with the profilux
these are the possible solutions:
