SICCE ContrAll

After 9 months of trauma of using this APP and the Xstream SDC controllers, I feel ready to sell them off and buy more AI Nero’s like I should have done in the first place. The pump controllers are plagued with dropping wifi connections then not re-connecting - I have a dedicated 2.4 channel for all my reef equipment, all of which works faultlessly. Not these though. Features of the APP seem not to work also - who ever heard of a feed button that doesn’t just pause your pumps? Instead, you have to set it as a schedule- ridiculous. After much research on many forums it seems many others have the same issues, and Sicce seems content to keep regurgitating the excuse of ‘our server was down’… Real shame as the actual pumps are great…

I bought SICCE wave maker for my small bond type fish tank, where I have my gold fish. Main reasons for my purchase were the sophisticated app and temperature monitoring feature. I have few dead corners in my freshwater tank, where I don’t have a lot of water flow. This wave maker will assure that all of the water will circulate through my filter. It works well and I like to check my water temperature diagrams regularly - nice extra feature. There is one small missing feature - a scheduled program, where the wave maker would be off (or 0% power). Minimum speed for all scheduled programs is 5%, which is good for the durability of the pump. However I would like to drive the wave maker every day for 6-12 hours, and then turn it off for the rest of hours, so that my fish would get some peaceful time too. This is currently not possible.

This app is literally garbage, what’s the point of having phone control if you have to remove the heater from the tank to adjust the temperature or see metrics. Useless.

Reading the box I thought I was going to get a temperature read out and control the degrees through the phone. No you have to take the thing out of the tank and scan it with your phone every time. Not that I change the temperature often but for this price I’d rather get one with a physical knob. This is way worse.

I have a heater and it works very well, when I can actually adjust it. The app is terrible. Anytime I want to change the temp, I have to take the heater out of the water after unplugging it because the sensor on my phone doesn’t pick it up how it should. I have an iPhone 13 so I should have no issues. I gave the app two stars because it is not very good.

Would be great if you can change to Fahrenheit

YOU CANT EVEN LINK WITH YOUR PHONES YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO HAVE YOUR PHONE TOUCHING THE HEATER TO EVEN GET ANY TYPE OF CONNECTION , TOP IT OFF THE APP LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR A IPHONE BACK IN 2006 GO WITH FLUVAL

I like the features of being able to start stop your pump on the app. The temperature feature is handy too. Negatives: -Can’t change the temp from Celsius to Fahrenheit -App hasn’t been updated for the notch -Can’t customize feeding mode time length - Can’t adjust feeding mode speed. It’s either on or off Sicce, you really need to put some effort and update this app. I’m honestly considering switching to EcoTech because of the lack of support and features for your app.

I’ve had the Sicce Syncra SDC 3.0 return pump on my nano for almost 2 years now. Haven’t had any issues at all. The app is very comprehensive and user friendly..

I have the iOS version and tried using this app to connect to a Sicce Syncra SDC pump and it will not connect to my 2.4 GHz network. It keeps erroring out. I have tried multiple wifi routers and it still errors out. Sicce support sent out a new pump controller but that did not fix the problem. They suggested I buy a Wi-Fi extender and try connecting to that. All my other aquarium apps and equipment don’t have issues connecting. Also it says this app does not collect user data but you need to enter in your birthdate. Why does Sicce need you birthday in order to control an aquarium pump? All my other aquarium apps don’t require birthday information.
