These are all good points. There are rumors of an Aquaero 7 being developed but I don't know if it's true. If they do release an updated Aquaero with a display it will probably not be the same form factor since many cases these days do not have front drive bays. Maybe a 10” wide 1920x480 color display in a chassis with all the headers on the back.

Assuming no display, I think they could make the device much smaller than an Aquaero 6 LT by making all fan ports PWM and getting rid of the IR LED header, RGB LED header, Flow 2 header, and maybe the RPM header. The relay could become the Signal header.

An alternative to an Aquaero mini could be an enhanced Octo and Quadro (Octo Max?). If they updated these controllers with a more powerful microcontroller and some nonvolatile memory, they could do more locally rather than having to have Aquasuite running. They already have an Aquabus header so I think having them support Calitemp sensors is a matter of firmware. With the Aquaero, the functions that can be performed on temp sensor data are limited to max, average, difference, and absolute difference. The user selects which function to apply but I think they are hard coded in the device. These basic functions could be hard-coded into an enhanced Octo/Quadro. Maybe more complex virtual sensor functions could be built in the playground (with data that is local to the device), then compiled and downloaded.

Something like this would make people running Linux happy too.

device but smaller called aquaero mini.

you can use a quadro or coto.
