Overall:

We came to having to give a final verdict on this jewel of technology. The jump in quality from the previous version is remarkable and, knowing the German precision, and the reputation the AquaComputer has built with the Aquaero, we are confident that in future we will see even more advanced versions. Dwell on this fifth edition, it's hard to find faults or shortcomings, and one is amazed by the quality of the display to then converge on the multiple functions that, if it were not enough, may be accompanied by other virtualized through the supplied software. The designers have really done a great job in creating a controller that is not an end in itself but it is interfaced with multiple devices, and then it's modular, after checking the compatibility. Do not miss alarms can be set as well as smart features that react to events that can be set at will. Of course the price to buy it is certainly not small, but considering the investment and what you can do then it is clear that the Aquaero 5 is not a simple controller but it is in effect a mini computer. However, the manufacturer, AquaComputer , to meet the clients and the multiple needs/pockets, is selling 3 versions of the same controller, the "Lite", already quite full, the PRO and finally the DELUXE i.e. the 5 XT USB, that includes the Remote Control. The prices are respectively 58, 118 and 158 €, very high indeed, but tailored to the specific functional and quality of each product.
