What is it?
The ReefBreeders App Integration Kit replaces your Photon Remote with a cloud based wireless app. This allows you to fully control your Photon V2 and V2+ via our ReefBreeders App on your iPhone or Android smartphone. Our app is intuitive, easy to use, and has far more advanced programming capabilities than the default controller. You can control your Photon V2 Pro using your smartphone from anywhere in the world- as long as you are connected to the internet.
The
ReefBreeders App Integration Kit replaces your current controller chip, so you will no longer be using the included remote to control your light. All control functions will be handled via our ReefBreeders App.
How Does it Work?
The
ReefBreeders App Interface includes everything you need to get started- all that is required is 2.4Ghz home network connected to the internet, and an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. Once you install the kit and connect your light to the internet, it is fully controlled via the ReefBreeders App.
Will this work with Multiple Photon V2/V2+ Lights?
Absolutely, however you will need one
ReefBreeders App Integration kit per Photon V2/V2+. Once each light has the
ReefBreeders App Integration kit installed, you can group them together in the app, or program them individually if they are on separate tanks.
Is my light Compatible?
Any of our Photon V2 or Photon V2+ lights can easily be upgraded to the V2 Pro. They’re also compatible with the IT5040, IT5060, IT5080, and IT5012. Legacy lights like the Photon V1, V1 W, SuperLux, and Value fixtures are not compatible. If you are unsure on your light model just reach out to us and we will help you determine your lights compatibility. If your light was purchased new anytime after January of 2016 there is a good chance it’s a V2. V2/V2+ Photon V2 and V2+ will have 6 control channels, and a wireless remote with an LCD screen.
What’s Included?
Every kit includes everything you need to connect to your 2.4GHz home network using your iPhone or Android device.
- ReefBreeders App Integration circuit board
- New black powder-coated aluminum side-plate to fit the LED indicator and antenna (protrudes less than 1/4" from the light- and is about the thickness of a credit-card)

I am very satisfied with the integration of the Wi-Fi card, but connecting to my server is too difficult and it isn't recognized (even though I use Wi-Fi with Red Sea equipment, which is easy to connect). I gave up on Wi-Fi and switched to Bluetooth, which was super easy. The app itself is good, but an update is absolutely needed to switch the time format from AM/PM to the European standard (00:00–23:59), as the conversion is awkward and spoils the programming experience—an update would be really useful. Otherwise, I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the Wi-Fi PCB, and the communication and follow-up from the after-sales support team have been excellent. 👍
Editing my original review after being contacted by ReefBreeders. This is a 5-star company hands down. I had an issue with my App Integration Kit and thought i was just out of luck and out of $175. They reached out and informed me that the issue was covered under warranty, and a replacement was sent to me.
Genuinely just fantastic customer service. Very happy customer.
Amazing upgrade, easy to install and works great. Very happy over my improved functionality on the lights.
Simple to set up with their YouTube video. Connected right away, much better than using the controller.
Easy installation with great directions. Great product and really enjoy ease of app!
