In this review we will go over the details and our thoughts on the ROMPA Deluxe 8 Colour Wirefree Controller.
A while ago we bought the ROMPA Deluxe 8 Colour Wirefree Controller after we found out we could wirelessly control the lights and actions on our ROMPA bubble tube and Rompa fibre optics.
We were surprised upon opening the box, we just switched the wifi controller on and it just worked! No setup, no wifi codes …. nothing! It just works! It changes colours on ALL of the ROMPA equipment we have that can be controlled via a wifi controller, its so easy to use, literally anyone can use it, if anyone knows accessibility, it’s ROMPA, they understand that some people have difficulties doing certain things.
The wifi controller has a rechargeable battery, it can be charged using the included USB printer cable and wall plug, handy, as we have loads of USB printer cables hanging around the house in case this one breaks, but so far it hasn’t broken yet, these kind of cables are pretty tough, good call ROMPA.
Speaking of the battery, it seems to last for a very long time, sometimes it lasts weeks as our son has about an hour of sensory play just before bed time on a school day and whenever he wants on the weekends.
There are 8 colour buttons and one action button, the action buttons stops the bubbles in the bubble tube or makes the equipment show random colours instead of fixed ones.
The buttons are big and easy to press and the numbers on them are very large and easy to read, they light up when you press them.
You can set the controller to make different sounds based on the buttons you press, below if a video of the colours setting sound’s:

The following video is a video of the ROMPA Deluxe 8 Colour Wirefree Controller controlling all of our ROMPA equipment at the same time:

- ROMPA 1m x 15 strands Jumbo ‘Bamboo’ Fibre Optics with ROMPA light source. Buy from HERE and HERE. Our review is HERE.
- ROMPA 2m x 100 Strands Super Safe Plastic Fibre Optics with ROMPA light source. Buy from HERE and HERE. Our review is HERE.
The buttons and base are very well made and can take a beating, our son sometimes like to control the buttons with his feet and press the buttons aggressively and it puts up with it all.
This is our second one as we didn’t charge the last one for a while and it glitched and wouldn’t charge, we phoned ROMPA and they sent one out and we received it the very next day so our son wasn’t without one for long, that’s the best customer service we’ve ever experienced, ROMPA know how important sensory equipment is to special needs children and they go out of their way to help, we really appreciate it. It seemed like a one off as there haven’t been any other complaints of this specific glitch.
I would highly recommend this wifi commander, our son loves it, it’s the main thing he uses in his sensory room as it can control all of his sensory equipment at the same time.
You can buy the ROMPA Deluxe 8 Colour Wirefree Controller from the ROMPA website HERE.
We saved a lot of money by filling in the VAT relief form when going through the checkout, which your child is valid for if they are disabled, if you need more information on this, click here.
We are not affiliated with ROMPA, we are just very happy customers.
