Description of ๐Ÿ”Œ Kessil Wireless Dongle

With the Kessil WiFi Dongle you can control the Kessil A360X Tuna Blue LED Light and the Kessil A360X Tuna Sun LED Aquarium Light. The Dongle can be used instead of the Kessil Spectral Controller X. Using the free app and a smart phone you can control multiple Kessil X-Series lights that are connected together with the K-Link Cable. Having one WiFi connection for multiple lights minimizes wireless interference, leading to a faster, more reliable connection. The WiFi Dongle plugs into the K-Link port on the A360X lights. You will hardly notice the addition as the Dongle is only 2" X 1.25" X .5". The WiFi Dongle has passed long-term, in-depth field testing and antenna optimization to ensure reliability and efficiency. And with an extension cable, the WiFi Dongle can be easily relocated to the optimal location โ€” perfect for canopy users. By keeping the light and its wireless capabilities separate, users can upgrade to the latest WiFi technology without replacing the entire fixture. This modularity also makes it easier to troubleshoot, further saving time and upgrade costs. The app gives users access to advanced manual controls and program customization, as well as the ability to sync groups of lights. Features include full color control, acclimation, lunar cycle, weather effects, and more!.

Difficult to set up, difficult to stay connected, terrible UI and user experience.

Strangely, Kessil does not currently integrate Wi-Fi capabilities into its flashlights and requires the addition of this dongle to customize the programming of its flashlights. Even though I have a strong WiFi signal at home, I have to keep reconnecting this dongle to my home WiFi. The app's interface and user experience leaves a lot to be desired; I recommend Kessil meeting with customers to do more research to improve their application interfaces. Kessil really needs to upgrade all of theirโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The Kessil Wi-Fi adapter allows you to control the Kessil A360X Tuna Blue LED Light and the Kessil A360X Tuna Sun Aquarium LED Light. The key can be used in place of the Kessil Spectral Controller X. With a free app and a smartphone, you can control multiple Kessil X-Series lights connected with a K-Link cable. Having a WiFi connection for multiple devices minimizes radio interference for a faster and more reliable connection.
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

NECESSARY! - USB network adapter

I really like everything that can be programmed and controlled with this device. My only complaint is the size. He's a little big. Other than that, it's great! I was able to make a schedule so we could go on vacation. It turned out EXCELLENT! Without this device, they have almost no real controls or settings that are only available in the world.

Pros
  • The application provides users with access to advanced manual control and program settings, as well as the ability to synchronize light source groups. Features include full color control, acclimatization, lunar cycle, weather effects and more!
Cons
  • Negative impression

That does not work. in Computers & Accessories

After several frustrating setup attempts, this app keeps asking me to check my network settings to make sure LAN is enabled. That. Then I return to the application and the only thing I can do is check the local network. Resetting everything and everything doesn't work - even after installing a new high-end router. Revain replaced the failed unit. The new one did too. Kessil support is not responding.

Pros
  • WiFi Dongle has undergone long term extensive field testing and antenna optimization for reliability and performance. And with a WLAN extension cable, the dongle can be easily moved to the optimal location - ideal for users with a canopy.
Cons
  • Bothers me

Adds functionality

The default app settings worked well, installation was quick. The LED provided feedback while tuning and lit up in different colors, which also proved useful. I love that it's modular so there aren't multiple lights acting as WIFI devices.

Pros
  • By separating the light from its wireless capabilities, users can upgrade to the latest Wi-Fi technology without having to replace the entire light. This modularity also simplifies troubleshooting, saving time and upgrade costs.
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly

The worst! Maybe it will get better!

I have not connected to the internet at all. Stuck and had to reset every time. Finally used LAN to at least get started. The interface is not great. I had a spectrum controller and thought it would make things easier. But it's much more difficult to navigate and limited compared to a wired controller. I sent the item back!

Pros
  • The application provides users with access to advanced manual control and program setup, as well as the ability to synchronize groups of lights. Features include full color control, acclimatization, lunar cycle, weather effects and more!
