No, you need the BoB or something similar DIY'd. Reason is you have up to 12 little wires coming from various switches, floats, whatever. Getting all of those back to the controller with little connectors and jacks would make the controller three times larger than it is. To get around that problem, the BoB was invented and works kind of like a consolidator of these wires. Those 12 wires (6 switches x 2 wires each) terminate in the BoB and in turn, one wire comes in from the BoB to the controller. Plus, this gives you the option to put the BoB (cheap) inside your stand with all that humidity and water and keep the controller (expensive) outside and far away. That's all the BoB does.
