Favorite automation and control systems

Got the basic shells mounted and partially wired. After some parts arrive I'll be having two lights with three 3000k 288 v2s and two elite 96 v2s for the main 5x5 space and four of the mouse puck v2s as the light for the secondary 2x4. One box for each light, one for ac infinity fan control and a main power distribution box wired 220v.

I'm currently using an Ac Infinity fan set up for my air intake.

Ilumi meshteks came in and wired up x3, part# MTA4SLC, kinda cool.
Allows 4 channels to be bluetooth dimmed and scheduled using 0-10v per module with App.

waiting on POW R2 units and TH16s from sonoff now

Do you have a link?

I built this out of crap I had lying around. Designed to flip my rooms lighting, flip blowers and also has the ability to control flood and drain or auto watering timing, also have another slave box off that one that flips my AC units.

https://www.mouser.ca/new/ilumi/ilumi-meshtek-controller/ <<<<<<<< dont buy these ones

the new ones that mouser doesn't carry yet have a 4 channel 0-10v and you need to talk on the phone to a real person to order them.
MTA4SLC is the part number $40US ish each plus shipping and taxes, etc. 18885020575

what about those!
im looking for some info about that solution, look pretty safe!
some people told me than you can manage 4 pwm channel with only 1 driver with an aux power supply to drive the illumi

have you try the ilumi stuff?

 

[GreeneryBob]

they are cheap. get some.

I have 4 channels of light running now.
They are not a perfect solution for everyone but Ilumi does custom work. I've only used the 4 channel 0-10v units
They are bluetooth controlled 0-10v dimmers only so that needs to be taken into account in the build as you'll want dim to off drivers.

Well, 9 Autopot XLs are now on the way and the two Sonoff power monitors and the temp/humidity controller came in today, fun times, fun times.

[GreeneryBob]

your link seems to be broken.

 

[GreeneryBob]

Call them and ask for the one with the model number I posted

 

[GreeneryBob]

if you need something other than 4 0-10v controls, you should talk to them about what you need.

Growduino.cz

Havent tried it but looks promising. Connects to web thru lan instead of wifi which is nice for those who dont want to use wifi for privacy.

Has nice logging capabilities. Also measures ec, co2 and can measure the distance to the watersurface in your res. Price is on point as well. Anyone have any experience or thoughts?

 

[sethimus]

nice, but just another solution with simple on/off functionality. i need 0-10v dimming, and not just for lighting :/
