Looks like a really shiny, expensive way to lose control of your brew day if you ask me.

From what I Googled, it looks like the controller logic isn't accessible. That means your at the mercy of the original program.

I do quite a bit of controller programming at work, so maybe I'm the only guy that wants that much control. But if you're going to pony up the dough for a controller - shouldnt it control what and how you want it to?

harkening back to that rules of grammer and spelling thread, I hope these guys have better syntax and grammer when programming then when writing copy.

doesn't require proper English grammar but those computers tend to pretty picky about computer 'grammar'

The BCS-460 has an open-ish API. This app is just a wrapper around that.
