I have bought the trolmaster Beta 6 humidity controller as well as the BetA them day/ night controller without checking to far into it .Only the second time ever to a physical hydro store so was spur of the moment .I am not one for technology and am pretty dumb in that deoart.ent .Is there shit or not lol ? Am I to understand you can only run one unit at a time oneach? So can only hook up a Heater or an AC not together ?as well as a Dehu or a humidifier not be able to auto switch between the two? So I have to buy one more of each to be able to properly control my room? This will be a large hit to my heart if so

I think you did good..i believe it has near unlimited expansion capacity... you just need a outlet module for each function.... you can operate it thru your phone, a basic interface module and a fancy full optioned pro module .. dollar for dollar it offers high end functions at a great price as you only need to buy the modules that you will use unlike other all in one controllers that sometimes have options you never use but have to pay for. .

Really confused as to how everyone controls heating issues And humidity issues without stopping extract fans come on every minute,couple !minutes .I guess I need to read about other trolmaster add ons.there is a lot about other models and lighting controllers but none about thn two bought

Just watch out for the gen 6 modules. Everyone says they are cross compatible but they fail to mention the interface adapter required to run the MD5# optical communication lines.

maybe we are talking about something different here...

there should be a central controller that can control all sorts of devices wirelessly ... then there are satellite receptacles that are wirelessly controlled by the main controller.... you will need a receptacle for every function you after but they all should run wirelessly off the main controller... If you only have one receptacle you will need to buy another for adding more functions... Any chance you can post a link to what you bought ?
