Current status of the GHL-ProfiLux-App

[GHL Support]

Here the English version of Matthias' post in the German part of the forum:

I’d like to answer here the questions that are frequently asked regarding our ProfiLux-App:


When will the App be available for everybody?
In a few days – if everything will run smoothly then for Android still in 2012. The Beta-tests are running, presently we are still working on bugs and the optimization of the performance.
I’d have liked to publish the App as "Christmas present", but this couldn’t be achieved in time. The effort was – like so often – far more extensive as expected.
For Apple it will take a bit longer, they like to test and release each App.

How much will the App cost?
GHL will offer the App free of charge!

With which ProfiLux model can the App be used?
With all ProfiLux that have a LAN-interface integrated, so presently ProfiLux 3 (eX) and ProfiLux 3.1N (ex)

With how many ProfiLux can I use the App?
You can define as many connections as you like.

Will measurement data be displayed?
Yes, furthermore the measurement data in the App will be stored in a data base, therefore longterm recordings are possible.

For which smartphones will the App be available?
The App is presently almost ready for Android and iPhone. We check if the App is also possible for Windows 8.


I hope I have answered the most important questions – if not: Then please ask here.

Aaron I don't think the iOS Beta has started yet. I think right now they are still working out the bugs in the Android OS and then migrating over to the iOS platform from there.

[BigAl07]

No it's not available yet. It's still being tested for stability and bugs.

Iv asked Matthias to be a tester however my PM's seem to be just ignored.
Hopefully he isnt doing it intentially, that would be disappointing.

[Matthias]

we never ignore PMs intentially - if a reply is delayed it is just because we had no chance to reply yet - I am checking my PMs now

<rant> I disagree, but whatever way you look at it people will complain. It was good enough of the GHL team to tell us that they are working on it and its something to look forward to. I wonder how much time they have spent over the years and replying to threads like this instead of concentrating on coding/testing. Considering they are in the BETA stages now, it shouldn't be too much longer. And you cant compare a GHL Profilux to any other aquarium on the market. Ok, some might have a nice web interface at present, but seriously, can they do half of what a Profilux can? </rant>

I do agree.
I am in the group of the eagerly awaiting for THE app.... But I guess I have to sit and wait patiently until it comes out. I do know that when it comes out, like any other GHL product out there, I should be very happy.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I am ok with the wait....
Maybe before MACNA 2013.

Yes, most can do everything a profilux can. That is seriously fact.
