I'd love to have an app to control Vertex Illumina LED fixtures. I'm sure many others would love to see this also.

Here is the light.

I'd be happy to help test.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, after a quick look, I could not find much about the protocol to talk to these lights, but what I did find references something called Zigbee. That is a wireless protocol that Android does not support.

I've heard of that before. some home automation stuff. Hmm. I would have thought it to be more proprietary than that. I wonder if there is a way to port the "v-link" wirelss model through a router and access it online.

Thanks for looking into it.

Reef controller running Android with ZigBee and an app store. reef hobbyists spend massive amounts on stuff like this.

Sorry, I should not have said Android does not support, I do not believe there is a phone with a zigbee radio in it. Since zigbee is what is uses to talk to the Vertex, you need special built hardware with Android and a driver for the radio running on it. So, it won't work on a normal consumer phone with Android.

I just ordered a vertex illumina and controlling this on my phone would be great.
