Description
The ReefControl Lite is a compact but capable controller designed to keep you informed of your reef’s most important parameters. It works within the Red Sea ReefBeat ecosystem, giving you access to real-time monitoring, notifications, and automation tools that help create a safer and more stable aquarium.
Acting as the entry point into the ReefSense platform, the ReefControl Lite serves as the main hub for Red Sea’s digital probes. It tracks key water parameters around the clock and immediately provides pH and temperature readings using the included dual-sensor probe.
Its versatility comes from its universal digital ports. You can connect any ReefSense probe or sensor, such as Salinity, ORP, or Leak Detectors, and the controller will automatically recognize and configure the device. Setup stays simple, even as your monitoring needs expand.
The ReefControl Lite also supports equipment automation. Through the ReefBeat app, you can build rules that operate 12V DC devices based on real-time sensor readings. When paired with the ReefControl Power unit (sold separately), these same rules can be applied to AC-powered equipment like heaters, chillers, skimmers, and more.
Key Features
Central monitoring hub
Serves as the core controller for the ReefSense line of digital probes and sensors.
Dual probe included
Comes equipped with a ReefSense pH probe and integrated temperature sensor for immediate, high-accuracy readings.
Flexible digital ports
Any ReefSense probe or sensor can connect to any available port without programming or calibration work.
ReefBeat app connectivity
Monitor live parameters, set alert thresholds, review historical data, and build trend graphs directly from your mobile device.
Automated device control
Create rules that operate 12V DC equipment based on temperature, pH, or other connected sensor data.
Ecosystem expansion
Integrates with the ReefControl Power (sold separately) to allow automation of AC-powered devices such as heaters, chillers, pumps, and ozonizers.
ATO compatibility
Add a ReefControl ATO Module (sold separately) to operate a complete, sensor-driven automatic top-off system.
Future-ready design
The digital system automatically accepts new probe types as Red Sea expands the ReefSense lineup.
Benefits
24/7 visibility
Receive live updates on your reef’s condition and instant notifications whenever a reading falls outside your chosen range.
Disaster prevention
Use sensor inputs to shut down pumps during a leak, activate cooling fans, or respond to temperature shifts automatically.
Stable reef conditions
Keep your aquarium consistent by automating heating, cooling, dosing, or other equipment based on live readings.
Easy calibration
The ReefBeat app provides guided, semi-automatic calibration. Calibration data is stored in each probe, allowing you to move probes without repeating the process.
Remote Bluetooth readings
Check pH, temperature, or salinity at your mixing station using any ReefSense probe through a temporary Bluetooth connection to your phone.
