Lighting and pump controller?

[sns26]

Hi folks,

For years I've used a Reefkeeper Lite to control my lights and turn pumps and things on and off on timers. But it seems to have died after over a decade of service. And with it, I've lost control of my tank.

Dipping into the world of aquarium controllers now is like arriving in a new galaxy. And so many of these are aimed at reef people and full of sensors that are overkill for what I need. I adjust my CO2 using a drop checker, and i set my heater thermostat and forget it. My main needs are light control for a diy LED setup. So...anyone using a controller they can recommend that isn't insanely expensive? Here's what I need:

Provide dimming signal to LED drivers (0-10v, I think)
Run moonlights, if possible
At least 4 timed outlets.

I'd love some advice. Thanks in advance.

I use smart plugs or smart power strips for my lights, pumps, and heaters. I think it's best to pick 1 brand for all so you don't have to use different apps. I use Kasa and haven't had one fail yet. They don't make power strips with more than 3 plugs, unfortunately.

Good idea on the smart plugs. But I also need 0-10v dimming control.
