    I use the Neutrino Blackbox which is a 6 output distribution box that uses a smartphone (Apple or Android) to control the outputs, though max output is just 20A on any one circuit, so won’t work for big lights. But there’s lots of programmable control options: on/off or variable output (PWM): programmable circuit breakers; time of day, temperature and speed activated outputs; and low voltage shutdown. Plus the app displays a lot of info, it’s not just a switch panel. More details here:

    For around the same price you could have built your own waterproof Bussman RTMR. With much more protection and organization, but.... to each his own and I hope you like it!!

    It comes with its own wireless switch panel. You can double sided tape it anywhere...

    I see what you are saying. I read that as the switch panel talks to your phone app which talks to the relay box.

    Now I get it. Works just like my switchpro.

    Yessir, just a bit cheaper. Only complaint is that some rf frequencies trigger the lights to come on. Usually key fobs from near by vehicles.

    I bought the same one. Haven’t had a chance to hook it up yet. Have you? Does it work well? Thanks
