Can Kessil controller control other lights of different brands

[Harry H]

Dear Reefers

I got a LED light (Jebao Matrix AK-60) with the universal 0-10v input. It is NOT a kessil light. But can we use the Kessil controller or other controllers to control the light output? How "universal" or "compatible" is the 0-10v input? Apologies if this is a known fact but I could not find the info online and therefore seek help from the reefer bros and sis here. Thank you.

East ocean aquatic already mentioned in their website that the light cannot be linked to any controller.

Ops I miss that. Thanks sir! Then it bags the question what is the 0-10v for? If it can't be controlled? Lol. The box says Wifi led matrix lights (something like that), so the wifi bit sounds imaginary.

In any case there is a French video on YouTube of an aquarist using iPhone to control the AK-60 lights. So it can be done. The problem is the video is in French. So it is as good as no data.

The simplest way is to get Kessil but being a VC, I have a twisted respect for companies able to reverse engineer a product and deliver it at a much lower price point and that itself spurs the incumbents to up their game. Just my 2 cents. And thanks again!!!

My apologies I looked through their website again and they seem to have removed the notice regarding the connection to a controller. Perhaps the new batch can be connected. Why not call them to enquire.

Not at all sir.

Not in French but maybe Spanish .. can't tell.
