Fishbit is an innovative new aquarium startup company that has been working for two years to bring to market a new kind of aquarium controller. The Fishbit system actually consists of two separate parts, a controller and a monitor, both of which are the easiest to use of any controller or monitor in the aquarium hobby today.
most aquarium controllers end up being glorified light timers
面对现实吧，大多数完全刚起步的水族馆控制器最终都是光荣的光计时器和水族馆参数的基本监视器。这不是它们的扩展性或多功能性的错，在“全力以赴”方面，没有将渔框与顶点进行比较。
但事实是，总体上，有99％的礁石和水产师不需要水族馆控制者来做所有事情。总体而言，我们只需要一个易于使用的控制器，具有基本的定时功能，对pH和温度的简单反应，最重要的是，我们每天都需要易于设置和使用。
If you’ve ever had to set up an Apex controller, or尝试to get all your network settings adjusted so you can actually access it outside your home network, you know how involved it can be. Even if you know what you are doing you’ll be setting aside a chunk of time ironing out all the kinks, and don’t even get us started on having to run the required wired connection.
When it comes to ease of use, the Fishbit is in a league of its own. Setting up the Fishbit monitor and controller is a breath of fresh air, the process was so easy, streamlined and trouble free we actually uninstalled the whole thing and started over just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke.
All of the major aquarium controllers were built and released before the smartphone era reshaped how we interact with our world. By contrast the Fishbit was designed with our current smartphone world in mind, with a native application and fully wireless connectivity that responds quickly to every command.
迄今为止，Fishbit仅发布了几十个监视器和控制器，作为其Beta测试的一部分，但所有用户都在说同样的话。易于使用，易于访问，并且只能完成应有的工作。目前，Fishbit控制器Beta的beta有点基本，只有六个控制渠道，但是下一个完全壁炉的Fishbit控制器具有八个控制渠道，八个0-10V控制渠道将极大地扩展新生平台的控制器能力。
Fishbit用软件完全超越了竞争
But where the Fishbit completely outclasses the competition is in the software. The native Fishbit application is nearly flawless, with the most simple user interface, clear indicators of outlet status and clear graphs of temperature, pH and salinity trends. One of the surprisingly well-executed features of the Fishbit are the thoughtful alerts which pop up on our phone only occasionally, and not every single minute that one thing is slightly off.
公平地说，在野生渔场中少于50个单位，可以证明控制器和监视器可以做什么，并且它们是当前现状的可靠替代方案。建立几十个，经过彻底测试的beta控制器与每周发货数十几个控制器之间存在巨大差异。我们真的希望Fishbit继续其对控制器，监视和应用功能的改进速度，因为它使我们鸡皮ump来思考整个生态系统将在几年后的位置。
Fishbit是水族馆控制器的未来
TheKickstarter for Version 1 of the Fishbitcontroller and monitor has nine days left to go and it is gradually closing in on its funding goal. We’re currently using our controller and monitor on different tanks so just remember that you can pick and choose your level of investment to precisely satisfy your aquarium needs. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the Fishbit crowdfunding campaign is successful because the Fishbit is the future of aquarium controllers, and a readily available commercial version can’t come soon enough.
