JBL LED SOLAR CONTROL v2 - New app with geo data query and weather simulation

Are you just clicking or are you really in control? Instead of using a remote control to slowly dim the light up in the morning or down in the evening, you can use the JBL LED SOLAR CONTROL to control the light automatically, choosing between five different themed aquariums. These are not mere artificial effects, they include full biotope data with geographically correct light data from South America ( Jungle aquarium type JBL Rio Pantanal® ), Africa ( Rocky reef aquarium type JBL Malawi Rocks® ) and Southern China ( Goldfish aquarium type JBL Goldfish Paradise® ). For all aquascapers and friends of plant / Dutch Style aquariums there is still the Aquascaping aquarium type JBL Dreamscape® or a good mixture for ornamental fish and aquatic plants, the so-called community aquarium ( Community aquarium: What goes together ).

But this is nothing new, because the app for the JBL LED SOLAR CONTROL has already been around for a few years. Now we have not only developed the app further, we have implemented a completely new app with numerous improvements and your requests. Version 2 is now available for download in the stores.

For those switching to LED, the JBL LED SOLAR CONTROL offers an acclimatisation function to switch plants from another, usually weaker lighting to the more natural and stronger JBL LED lighting.

For all aquarists who have not yet found a suitable setting or would like to make individual adjustments to it, there is an extensive manual mode available to design your own individual theme programme using functions for moonlight, clouds, lightning and sunrise and sunset.

What has been improved in the app?

The new app gives your control unit a firmware update to improve its stability and control options and enables future updates to the app.  

Before you can use the new app, you will be prompted to update your JBL LED SOLAR CONTROL 's firmware. This will return all settings to the default position.  It is not possible to transfer them from app version 1, which will no longer be usable. Save them in advance with a screenshot or make a note of the settings beforehand.  Setup is much easier and faster in the new app. Days can be copied and the options for automatic programmes have been expanded. 

Numerous requests that you have communicated to us via the Customer service center have already been implemented in this version.  

  • Geographical sunrise and sunset: The times of the aquarium's lighting are calculated based on your location. Your aquarium gets up with you and goes to sleep with you. The maximum lighting duration of 10 hours per day thus becomes invalid. The settings are calculated for a year in advance.
  • The moonlight function allows you to leave a soft blue light glow outside the lighting times, even at night, for the orientation of the fish. When the geo location is activated, the moonlight phases adjust accordingly.
  • The thunderstorm function effects in the themed aquariums and in manual mode have been improved and look even more authentic. If you prefer more peace and quiet, you can deactivate the lightning completely.
  • When creating theme programmes in manual mode, the copy function and setting options have been improved. The overview and graphic display make the set-up and operation easier.
  • Factory settings - did you mistype or have you forgotten your password? You can now completely reset your device to factory settings via the app.

ots of reasons to install the free new app called JBL LED SOLAR CONTROL 2! We hope you enjoy it! 

Problems with the firmware update? Deactivate the mobile data in your smartphone and only use the direct WLAN connection to the JBL LED SOLAR CONTROL . When the control unit is not connected to the home network there is NO internet connection. This is to prevent your smart phone from switching to your mobile data network in parallel and interfering with the update. After the update, you simply have to connect the control unit to your WIFI and you are ready to go.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
