The RW's have it built in and works like a charm

I found the sensor in the bag that came with the controller!!! Holy small!!!
Is the sensor supposed to fit snuggly into the unit or is it supposed to slightly stick out?
I tried sliding it in but it only goes to a point and then stops.
I certainly don't want to push and damage the unit trying to make it go all the way in.
Any feedback would greatly be appreciated.

It sticks out a bit.
I don't know if they have fixed the sensitivity issuebof the sensor.
It can't be in total darkness.
If it is then the it won't go into night mode.
There needs to be some light.
I used to have the controller and sensor under my stand, but it had to be near the on switch from one of my powe strips in order to have enough light to put it in night mode when the lights went out.

Yes thanks ! I did go ahead an plug it in and immediately saw the orange señor light coming on. Let's see how when happens when halides kick on. I placed on hood left side in the back corner. Light from halides does reflect on walls so let's see if it is bright enough to shut sensor off.

I bought the RW-8 from Reef Breeders $90....also bought my two Photon 32 lights from him....the light sensor works really well on this....kicks in as soon as my moon lights come on and starts back up when the lights turn on in the morning

well as each halide kicked in not till the third which the controller is closest did it automatically kick in.

You may need to move things around a bit to get it to work the way you want.
Also somewhere in this thread there is a link to a photocell that Radio Shack sells that is more sensitive and works better.

Here is a short video of the wp40 in action on my 180.

Nice waves!!!
I have my WP40's for about a year now. They were both running beautifully until I came home one night to 1 of the pumps being off. I unplugged the waterproof connector then reconnected and it went back on. Both pumps hadn't been cleaned since placing in the tank so I decided to give both a vinegar bath. After the bath they both worked impressively...in W1 they both created a beautiful wave however I came home from work 1 night later and the other pump had shut off. I tried putting the old controller back on, (I have the older less versatile controller and then the updated S1, S2, S3 controller), no change... in fact sometimes when I thought the units were completely off they were just running at a lower voltage/speed/mode....say 25% ...but that was without the light sensor and without me switching to lower power on the controller. I can't keep coming home to no flow and it's a drag to have to disconnect/reconnect to get them to work again. Has anybody had this issue? If so, any solutions?
